Folder
Discs containing compressed MP3 data often
contain several directories and folders with data.
To show the name of the current directory or
folder playing, press one of the

tory or folder, press the
button

The CD player counts each directory and folder
as one folder. The player starts to count in the
main directory, and pressing the

in this directory. Pressing the

Note that the /- buttons do not function
when the CD player is playing the tracks of a
disc containing MP3 data in random order.
+10/-10
Due to the compressed format of MP3 data,
discs can contain several hundred audio tracks.
In order to find the right track within these hun-
dreds of tracks, the CD player lets you skip
through the contents of your disc in steps of
10 tracks. Press the
+10
button

to change
to the 10th track after the track currently
playing. If there are less then 10 tracks remain-
ing on the disc, the last track will be played.
Press the
-10
button
B
to change to the 10th
track before the track currently playing. If there
are less then 10 tracks since the beginning of
the disc, the first track will be played.
Input/Source Selection
A unique feature of the HD 970 is that it allows
other source components to be played back
using the high-grade audiophile digital-to-ana-
log convertors inside the CD player. Especially
source components using older and less power-
ful convertors will benefit from this feature.
Connect the coaxial or optical digital output of
the external source component to the
Coaxial
or
Optical Digital Inputs
§
on the rear panel
of the CD player.
In order to select the external source component
for playback, press the
Source Button
I
. The
first press of this button will show the input cur-
rently played, indicated by
PLAYER
for the CD
player,
COAXIAL IN
(Digital in 1) or
OPTICAL IN
(Digital in 2). Within 2 seconds, press the
Source Button
I
again until the requested
source has been selected.
Note that in order to hear the sound from the
external source when connected via the HD 970,
the input of your amplifier or receiver should be
the one to which the HD 970 is connected.
Important Note:
The player will only output
2-channel PCM signals. Neither multi-channel
Dolby Digital or DTS nor their 2-channel down-
mix signals will be.
