3. Basic operation
3.1 Switching on / standby
Using the button power (1) You can switch between on (operate) and stand by. In the on state the display (9)
and the LED (2) light up. In stand by mode the display (9) is off and the LED (2) glows to indicate that the
unit is still connected to mains.
CAUTION:
When switched to stand by the unit is still connected to mains. In case of thunderstorm or if You
leave the house for a longer time we recommend that You pull the mains plug.
3.2 Playable disc formats
The CD3NG can play all compact discs which are recorded according to the red book standard (means the
standards for audio CDs established by PHILIPS and SONY). Furthermore all CDRs and CDR/Ws with good
reflection recorded according to this standard are playable. Most copy protected discs are also playable. But
we cannot take responsibility that all future copy protection systems are playable.
3.3 Insert / eject disc
Pressing the open button (10) opens the tray (8).
When the tray is open, it will close if You press the open button (10). Then the CD3NG reads the directory of
the disc and shows the result in the display. This procedure can (depending on number of titles on the disc)
last a few seconds.
Pressing the play button (12) will cause the same except that the CD3NG will immediately begin to play the
disc after having read the directory. Before that it is possible to select a certain title using the skip buttons
(13, 14) or the remote control.
NOTE:
If the tray is blocked while moving in or out the display (9) will show “loader error, press open“.
Remove the cause for blocking and press the open button (10) again.
When the CD3NG is being transported, be sure that the loader is fully in. Otherwise the drive can be
damaged.
3.4 Playing CDs (play, pause, stop, skip, search)
If a disc is inside the CD3NG You can start playing by pressing the play button (12). If You press play again
the CD3NG will go into the pause mode until play is pressed a third time. Pressing stop (10) will stop playing.
Using the skip buttons (13, 14) You can easily access any title on the disc. When You press one of the skip
buttons for longer than a second while the CD3NG is playing a CD, it begins to play in fast forward or
reverse mode.
The actual state of the CD3NG (PLAY, PAUSE, STOP) is shown in the display (9). Furthermore the display
shows the actual playing time, the actual title number and the total number of titles.
3.5 Repeat
Press the repeat button (7) once to repeat the actual title, twice to repeat the whole CD or the programmed
sequence. A third pressing makes the CD3NG returning to the normal playing mode.
3.6 Random play
Press the program button (5) and hold it for more than 2 seconds to play the CD in random sequence.
Pressing stop (11) twice makes the CD3NG returning to the normal mode.
