ROBO START INSTRUCTIONS
IN SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE:
Use ROBO START in SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE to alternate play between
the two sides of the CD player (one track from one side, then one track from
the other side). In SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE play starts immediately from
the start of music without any blank space (which exists at the beginning of
every track). ROBO START causes one side of the CD player to play, while
the other side is paused.
1. Engage SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE with the SINGLE-AUTO CUE/
CONTINUOUS (3) button.
2. Press the ROBO START (1) button to activate ROBO START (the button
will blink). Play will alternate between the two sides of the CD player. At
the end of the track, the playing side will pause, and the other side will
play. At the end of this track, the playing side will pause, and the other
side will play. The CD player will continue to alternate between the two
sides until you stop it (after the last track of the CD, it goes back to the
first track).
NOTE: Pausing the playing side in the middle of a track will
cause the other side to play. When that track ends, play will
begin from the middle of the track where play was paused.
IN CONTINUOUS MODE OR DURING NORMAL PLAY:
If you use ROBO START without SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE (in CONTINU-
OUS MODE or during normal play), play will not alternate automatically.
Pressing pause on the playing side will cause the other side to play.
1. During normal play, set a cue point on the other side of the CD player.
2. Press the ROBO START (1) button to activate ROBO START (the button
will blink).
3. Press PLAY/PAUSE (17) button on the playing side to begin play from
the cue point on the other side.
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.
