OPERATING YOUR SYSTEM
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
1. Standby
When the CD player is plugged into a live wall socket and the
POWER switch is turned ON, it will power up in "standby" mode
and the LED (Light Emitting Diode) in the display will glow red. In
this mode the internal circuitry of the MXC7000 is powered up but
disabled, so that it consumes little power and its audio output is
muted by a relay.
When the STANDBY ellipse is touched the MXC7000’s circuitry
will be activated and, after a few seconds delay, the audio outputs
will be enabled. During this delay period the LED in the display
will flash blue. When the outputs are un-muted it will glow blue
continuously. The blue-coloured display will illuminate, briefly
showing “READ”, followed by “NO DISC“.
Touch the STANDBY ellipse again -
for longer than 2 seconds
- to
return to standby mode. The display will briefly read “STANDBY”,
the drawer, if open, will close, the LED in the display will glow red
again and the display will be extinguished.
CAUTION: WHEN IN STANDBY MODE THE INTERNAL
CIRCUITRY OF THE MXC7000 IS STILL LIVE, SO ALL
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED.
2. Infra-red receiver
The infra-red (IR) remote control receiver is mounted behind the
window, just above the display. It must not be obscured when the
CD player is to be operated using the remote control handset.
Where possible it is best to arrange that the IR receiver is in "line-
of-sight" of the remote handset.
3. Display
The operation of the player is indicated on a high quality blue
Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD). Track number and track time
are shown, together with indication of the operating mode - see
Figure 1
.

4. Disc drawer
The OPEN/CLOSE button controls the drawer. The drawer will
close automatically if left open for two minutes or more. It will
accept either normal 120mm CDs, or small 80mm CDs.
5. OPEN/CLOSE
Press this button to open or close the disc drawer. The drawer
may also be closed by pushing the drawer front gently. When the
drawer is open the display will read “OPEN”. When the drawer is
closed with no disc in place the display will indicate “NO DISC“.
The tray will close automatically if left open for two minutes.
When a disc is inserted and the drawer closed the display will
indicate “READ” briefly while it reads the disc’s Table of Contents
(TOC). The display will then show the total number of tracks and
total playing time of the disc (see Figure 2). This condition is
called STOP mode.
Table of contents
(Figure 2)
If there is “CD text” information present on the disc the symbol
“CD TEXT” will light and the TOC will be displayed for about 5
seconds, after which the display will indicate the disc title,
scrolling it across the display screen if necessary.
Pressing OPEN/CLOSE also cancels SHUFFLE, REPEAT, DIM
and PROGRAM modes.
6. PLAY/PAUSE
When a disc is present and the player is in STOP mode, a press
of the PLAY/PAUSE key will start the disc playing from the first
track, and light the symbol. A second press of PLAY/PAUSE
will put the player into PAUSE mode and light (see Figure 3).
In PAUSE the disc is still spinning and the laser head is kept at
the same location, so that if PLAY/PAUSE is pressed yet again
the disc will re-start from exactly the same point in the music at
which it was originally paused.
When “Index” information is present on the disc the index number
will be displayed below the “INDEX” icon. With other discs the
index number will always be “0” or “1”.
With the disc drawer open, it is possible to load a disc and press
PLAY/PAUSE directly (without pressing OPEN/CLOSE). This
action causes the drawer to close and the disc to start playing
from the first track. The TOC will not be displayed.
