BASIC
OPERATION
TRACK SELECTION
To change track, the track skip buttons
PREVIOUS
and
NEXT
on the front panel can
be pressed to jump forwards or backwards one
track in either direction.
Corresponding
TRACK
buttons on the remote
control are marked
|<<
and
>>|
.
If the unit has stopped playing, a specific track
can be accessed directly by pressing either
PREVIOUS
or
NEXT
to obtain the required
track number, then pressing
PLAY/PAUSE
.
TRACK SELECTION (Remote control)
Simply press the
PLAY
button to start a CD
playing from the first track.
Alternatively, a specific track can be selected
directly by pressing one of the ten track number
buttons grouped in the centre-section of the
remote control. The chosen track then plays
after a short delay. To play a track number
with two digits, press the second digit button
on the remote control within this delay period.
If a track number is chosen which is not
available on the disc, for example pressing
button number 9 if the CD has only 7 tracks,
the words
INVALID TRACK
are briefly
displayed.
SEARCH
The
SEARCH
buttons on the remote control
can be used to fast-forward or fast-rewind
during playback in a similar way to a video or
tape cassette player. This permits location of
particular passages at high speed with the audio
playback of the CD still active.
(continued) . . .
Pressing the forward-search button (
>>
) fast
winds forwards whilst the search backwards
button (
<<
) fast winds backwards.
As the unit searches through a track, the track
time display (far right digits) will be seen to
advance rapidly in the required direction. For
both directions the unit will return to normal
playback when the button is released.
DISPLAYING PLAYBACK TIME
There are three playback time display modes
accessed progressively by pushing the
TIME
button on the remote control. The original
mode (e.g. after switch on) shown below
indicates the elapsed time for the currently
playing track (track 1 playing, 0 minutes 34
seconds in this example) :
Pushing the
TIME
button once changes the
display to show the remaining time for the
complete disc with a minus sign to denote
reverse counting (track 2 playing, 31 minutes
40 seconds in this example) :
Pushing the
TIME
button a second time
cancels all time indication :
A third press of the
TIME
button will now
bring the display back to the original (elapsed
track time) mode.
