If the CDD senses an obstruction during opening of the drawer mecha-
nism, it will attempt to re-close. If successful, it will read the disc’s table of
contents and display the disc’s number of tracks and total time (followed by
the playlist’s track and time information, if one exists). If for any reason the
drawer does not close fully, it will stop where it is and wait for your inter-
vention. After removing the obstruction, press the
stop/drawer
button again
to close the drawer normally.
Similarly, if the CDD senses an obstruction during the closing of its drawer
(as might be caused by an improperly seated CD, or an inquisitive child’s
finger), it will stop immediately and attempt to reopen. If the nature of the
obstruction prevents this also, it will stop where it is and wait for your inter-
vention. After removing the obstruction, press the
stop/drawer
button again
to close the drawer.

STOP/DRAWER BUTTON
Pressing this button once while a disc is playing will
stop
the disc, resulting
in the total number of tracks and the total time on the disc being displayed.
(Both the
time on disc
and the
time remaining
LEDs are lit to clarify the
meaning of the information being displayed at this point.)
Pressing this button once the disc has stopped, or if there is no disc in the
transport, will cause the
drawer
to open. If the disc is still playing, you may
press the button twice rapidly, to effect both the
stop
command and the
drawer open
command; the CDD will remember the second button push
and execute it as soon as the disc has stopped spinning.
Pressing the
stop/drawer
button will cause an open drawer to close. If it
senses a disc in the drawer, the CDD will take a moment to read the disc’s
table of contents so that it may display the total number of tracks and the
total time on the disc for your information.
Finally,
pressing and holding
the
stop/drawer
button while the CDD is
stopped will display the version number of the operating software and its
checksum. This “hidden feature” allows you to double-check the version
number and integrity of the software in your unit without having to open it
up, should this ever become necessary.

REPEAT BUTTON AND INDICATORS
You may choose to either repeat the entire disc (including any programs
you might have entered for that particular disc) or an individual track by
pressing the
repeat
button. From normal operation, the first press of the
repeat button will light the
disc
LED below the display (number xx in the
front panel illustration). Pressing the
repeat
button again will light the
track
LED (number xx in the front panel illustration). Pressing it a third time will
cycle out of any repeating mode, as will pressing
stop/drawer
at any time.
In either case, both repeat LEDs will be extinguished.
The
disc repeat
LED is lit when the CDD is set to repeat a disc (or a disc’s
program, if it has one) endlessly.
The
track repeat
LED is lit when the CDD is set to repeat a single track
endlessly.
