1. Front Panel Display

Bright, clear, easy to read VFD status display.

2. Illuminated Motorized CD Loading Tray 

Precision, motorized CD loading tray handles discs gently yet firmly. Cool blue light automatically 

illuminates the tray when it is open.

Note: The CD Loading Tray opens and closes when you press the Eject button on the front panel 

or the remote control. Pressing the Loading Tray in by hand when it is open WILL NOT cause it to 

close automatically, and may damage the automatic mechanism. 
Note: If you press the Eject button while the CD Loading Tray is blocked, it will try to open for 

several seconds; if the tray remains blocked, the motor will time out and shut off. While not 

recommended, this will NOT cause permanent damage. After the motor times out, simply press 

the Eject button again and it will close normally (at which point you can open it by pressing the 

Eject button a second time).

3. Previous Transport Control Button

Press the Previous button once to return to the beginning of the current track; press it a second 

time (quickly) to return to the beginning of the previous song. Pressing this button repeatedly will 

move “back” one song each time you press it.
