this window; if that path is obstructed, the remote
control may not work.
4. OPEN.
Press this button to open the disc drawer, and
press it again to close the drawer. If this button is
pressed while a disc is being played, the playback
will stop, the pickup will re-set to the beginning of
the disc, and the drawer will open.
When the disc drawer is open, the drawer-closing
mechanism can also be activated by pressing PLAY
or by gently pushing the drawer inward.
CAUTION: The disc drawer is opened and closed
by an internal motor. Do not close the drawer by
hand with the power off.
When the drawer closes, the player scans the disc’s
‘table of contents’ and displays the number of
tracks and total playing time on the disc. If you
press PLAY to close the drawer this display is
skipped, and play commences immediately at
Track 1.
5. PLAY/PAUSE.
This dual-function button alternates between
starting and stopping playback. Press to start play
or to resume play after Pause. During play, press
this button to stop playback temporarily, keeping
the laser at its current position on the disc.
The PLAY mode is identified by a right-pointing
arrowhead
in the display. In the PAUSE mode
is identified by two vertical bars .
To resume playback at the exact point where it
stopped, press PLAY/PAUSE again. If you don’t
want to resume play at the same point, you may
use the SKIP and SCAN controls to cue the pickup
to a different starting point before pressing PLAY
again.
6. TIME.
The TIME button has two modes, as follows:
TIME: the elapsed time since the beginning of the
current track, in minutes and seconds. (This is the
‘default’ setting, selected automatically when the
player is turned on.)
REMAIN (track number blank): the total playing time
that remains until the end of the disc and the total
number of remaining tracks (including the current
track). During program play the remaining time in
the program is shown.
7. STOP.
This button stops play, cancels any repeat-play
cycle, and re-sets the pickup to the beginning of
the disc. The display reverts to showing the number
of tracks and total playing time on the disc.
8. REPEAT.
This button engages an endless-repeat cycle.
Press the Repeat button once to select the
REPEAT ONE mode, in which only the current track
is repeated over and over again. Pressing the
Repeat button once again selects the REPEAT ALL
mode, in which the entire disc is played from
beginning to end, over and over again. Press the
Repeat button a third time to cancel the repeat
cycle and return to normal operation.
9. RANDOM.
Pressing RANDOM will play all the tracks on the CD
in a random order. Press RANDOM either from the
Stop or the Play mode and the 522 will play the
tracks on the CD in random order until all the tracks
have been played.
Press RANDOM button again to cancel Random
play and return the 522 to the normal Play mode.
When the 522 is in Random mode ‘RANDOM’ will
be shown in the Display Panel.
10. SCAN BACK
The SCAN button causes the optical pickup to
scan backward through the recording at high
speed. This button works only while the player is in
PLAY or PAUSE. After a STOP command, or after
loading a new disc, you must press PLAY before
the scan circuit will work.
If the scan is initiated while the player is in PAUSE
the scan is silent, approximately 15-20 times faster
than playing speed. If the scan is initiated during
PLAY it is much slower (approximately three times
playing speed), and the music will be heard in
fragmentary form at reduced volume as the player
scans through it. Use this ‘audible scan’ to cue the
player precisely to the spot where you want to
resume play.
If you scan back to the beginning of the disc while
playing Track 1, the player automatically reverts to
normal playback.
11. SCAN FORWARD
The SCAN button causes the optical pickup to
scan rapidly forward through the music. The
behavior of this function is similar to SCAN
.
If you scan forward to the end of the disc while
playing the final track, the scan will stop and the
Time display will show the table of contents. (There
is no ‘wrap-around’ mode.)
12. SKIP BACK
The SKIP button causes the laser to jump
backward to the beginning of each numbered track
on the disc. The first press skips back to the
beginning of the current track. Press SKIP
twice to skip back to the previous track.
Continuous pressure will cause the player to skip
tracks repeatedly, concluding at the beginning of
the disc (Track 1).
Pressing SKIP
once during play causes the
pickup to jump back to the beginning of the current
