OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure that the VOLTAGE SELECTOR SLIDE SWITCH (15),
found on the rear panel, is set for the proper voltage. Plug the unit in
and press the POWER SWITCH (1). The unit will turn on. Pushing the
POWER SWITCH (1) a second time will turn the unit off.
2. Press the OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON (3), place a CD in the DISC TRAY
(2) and press the OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON (3) again. The tray will
close into the unit. The display will initially show the number of tracks
and the total time of the CD and the unit will be in the pause mode
(play/pause LED blinks green). When the display shows track
number 1 and time of 00:00, the unit is ready to use.
3. Push the TRACK SKIP BUTTONS (6) to select the track you want to
play.
4. Press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (5) and the unit will instantly play.
CUE INSTRUCTIONS
To start the play at a point other than the beginning of a track, follow
these instructions.
1. To memorize the approximate spot at which you want play to start,
select the proper track, and then push the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON
(5) so the unit goes into the play mode (play/pause LED will glow
green). Listen to the CD and when the CD gets to the approximate
spot, push either of the SEARCH BUTTONS (7). The unit will go into
the pause mode (play/pause LED will blink green) and the location
indicated on the display will be the memorized cue point.
2. To fine tune the memorized cue point, push the PLAY/PAUSE
BUTTON (5) so the unit goes into the play mode (play/pause LED
glows green) and listen carefully to the starting point. Push the CUE
BUTTON (11) and the unit will enter the pause mode (play/pause
LED blinks green) and the CD will reposition at the previously
memorized cue point. If you decide that this point is okay, leave the
unit alone until you are ready to play it. At that time push the PLAY/
PAUSE BUTTON (5). The unit will instantly play from the spot
selected. If the selected spot is not where you want it, with the unit
in the play mode, simply push the CUE BUTTON (11). The unit will go
back to the previously selected spot, and enter the pause mode. By
pressing either the left or right SEARCH BUTTONS (7) you can hear
and move the cue point forward or backward. After you have
located the spot, play the CD and listen to the start. If it’s still no
good, push the CUE BUTTON (11) and try again. The memorized cue
point will always be the last location after using the SEARCH
BUTTONS (7).
TROUBLE SHOOTING
•
If the disk will not play, check to see if the disc was loaded correctly
(label side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt, scratches,
etc.
•
If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connections.
If they are okay, check your amplifier or receiver.
•
If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not assume
that the CD player is defective. Many CDs are recorded out of spec
and will skip on most or all CD players. Before sending the unit in for
repair, try playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.
