REPEAT  PLAYBACK 

The 

REPEAT

 button on the remote control allows the 

repeated playback of either one track or all tracks on the 
disc. 
By pressing the 

REPEAT

 button once, only the current 

track is repeated, and the display shows 

If the 

REPEAT

 button is pressed a second time, 

repeat disc

” is displayed instead, and the entire disc is 

then played repeatedly. 

Pressing 

REPEAT

 a third time cancels repeat mode. 

 
A-B  REPEAT  PLAYBACK 

“A-B repeat” provides the option of playing just a 
certain section of the disc over and over again. 
Find the beginning of the required section either by 
listening, or using the display time as a guide. 
When the desired starting point is reached, press button 

A / B

 on the remote control. 

The display will show  

When the disc has reached the end of the required 
section, press the 

A / B

 button again, to display and the 

unit 

continuously plays the selected part of the disc in this 
case, the segment of track 1 from 34 seconds to 1 minute 
55 seconds. 
To cancel A-B repeat mode, press 

A / B

 on the remote 

control. 

 
SHUFFLE  PLAYBACK 

The SHUFFLE feature allows tracks on the discs to be 
played in random sequence rather than the normal 
consecutive order. 

Tracks are also played in a different order each time the 
disc is restarted, or another disc loaded. 
 
 
 
 
 

 

This function is obtained by pressing 

SHUFFLE

 on the 

remote control with the unit either stopped or playing. If 
the A5.5 is already playing, play will continue in 
random order until all tracks on the disc have been 
played. 
  Shuffle play is cancelled by pressing the 

SHUFFLE

 

button a second time.  The unit resumes normal play 
function, continuing to the end of the disc in normal 
order starting from wherever it was left by the previous 
random selection. 
From stop mode, pressing 

PLAY/PAUSE

 also begins 

shuffle play. 
If 

REPEAT

 is then pressed whilst in shuffle mode, a 

repeat shuffle function is obtained  

Pressing >

>|

 selects the next track in random order. 

 
SCAN  INTRODUCTION 

The scan-introduction function allows play back of just 
the start of each track on the disc, for instance to locate a 
preferred track by ear. 
Press 

INTRO

 on the remote control, and if the player 

has stopped, the display will show  

The first ten seconds (approximately) of each track on 
the CD can then be played in sequence by pressing 
either 

PLAY/PAUSE

 on the front panel, or 

PLAY

 on 

the remote control. 
Press 

INTRO

again to cancel introduction search mode.  

If 

INTRO

 mode is cancelled while the A5.5 is still 

playing, the remainder of the entire disc will be played. 

 
PROGRAMMED  PLAY 

The built-in program memory allows you to store up to 
99 track numbers and then play them back in the held 
order.  Each track is stored as a “step” in the program. 
With the CD loaded and the player stopped, first press 

PROGRAM

 on the remote control.  The following is 

then displayed : 

On the remote control, press the numeric button of the 
track number corresponding to the first track you wish 
to store (number 3 for example).
