number  and  then  press  the  PROGRAM  button.  The  word
“PROGRAM” will light and the display will show the total
number of tracks programmed and total programmed time.
If  a  second  track  selection  is  entered,  the  word  “PRO-

to program additional tracks as desired. This programming
procedure, with readout of the cumulative total number of
programmed tracks and total programming time (including
time  between  tracks),  works  for  any  of  the  first  13  num-
bered  tracks  on  a  disc.  You  may  program  track  numbers
higher than 13, but from then on no track time information
will  appear  on  the  display.  To  preview  a  program  before

CD Door Functions/Warnings

• 

Do not attempt to play a CD without first installing the
supplied CD7 magnetic disc clamp on the CD.

• Use only the supplied CD7 clamp in your CD7 player.
• CD door must be fully closed for the CD7 to operate. 
• All front panel and remote control functions and display

are  deactivated  when  CD  door  is  open,  to  prevent 
exposure to laser. Do not attempt to bypass this lockout
feature.  The  CD7  will  stop  playing  if  the  CD  door  is
opened while running.

• If the CD door is closed without a CD in the player and

the CD7 is powered up, the display will read "No disc".

• If a CD is inserted in the CD7, the CD door is fully closed

and  the  CD7  is  powered  up,  the  CD  will  spin  for  a  few
seconds  while  the  track  information  is  accessed.  The
number  of  tracks  and  total  disc  time  will  then  be  dis-
played, indicating the CD is ready to play.

• Keep the CD door closed when the CD7 is turned off and

not in use to keep dust out of the lens and drive area.

Maintenance 

THE CDs

• Keep  the  shiny  surface  of  the  CD  clean  and  free  of

scratches. Use a soft lint-free cloth and always wipe the
CD in a straight line from center to outer edge.

• Never  use  cleaning  agents  for  conventional  records  on

CDs.

• Detergents or abrasive cleaning agents should not be used

on CDs.

PROBLEMS AND THEIR LIKELY CAUSES

If  a  problem  occurs,  run  through  the  points  listed  below 
before taking your player in for repair.
Check whether:
– condensation has formed on the lens of the laser due to 

a  dramatic  change  in  temperature;  this  will  disappear 
naturally after some time.

– the CD has been inserted correctly with the printed side

up  and  that  there  is  a  CD  in  the  compartment  and  the
cover is fully closed.

– the CD is dirty, badly scratched, warped or defective.
– the  player  has  been  inadvertently  connected  to  the

PHONO inputs of the preamplifier.

If  the  problem  remains,  try  to  clear  it  by  switching 
the  player  off  and  on  again,  or  unplugging  it,  waiting  60
seconds,  and  plugging  it  in  again.  If  this  fails  to  help, 
consult your Audio Research dealer.
