TIME-TOTal: At anytime the disc is playing, touch the
TIME touch-button to display the total time on the disc.
This number remains unchanged while the disc is in play.
TIME-ABSolute: To know the elapsed playing time of all
tracks including the pauses encoded between tracks on
the record, touch the TIME touch-button twice in succes-
sion after play has begun. The sign TIME ABS appears
under the advancing minutes and seconds. To switch back
to relative-time, touch the TIME touch-button a third time.
TRACK: At anytime the disc is playing, touch the TRACK
touch-button to display the number of the track being
played. The track number is shown on the left of the
display and is the number before the point. The digits
after the point are index numbers and are displayed only
when the disc has these numbers encoded. Touch the
TIME touch-button again to return to the time indication.
Index numbers cannot be programmed, but are a useful
aid when searching for a particular passage. Only those
track numbers will be displayed that have been program-
ed when using PROGRAM or PROGRAM
ERROR: Indicating an incorrect or inappropriate instruc-
tion, the red ERROR sign lights for a short time.
Touching SCAN, PAUSE, and REPEAT causes the cor-
responding signs at the lower right of the display to light.
DAMAGED DISC/MUTE: If there is a fault with the disc,
the red light "illuminates."
THE REMOTE CONTROL
When the player is switched on and the disc is in the
drawer, all the player functions can be operated using the
remote control, except TIME.
The remote control works up to a distance of about 24
feet (8 meters). Although the player can receive the infra-
red beam also via reflection, we recommend aiming the
remote control directly at the REMOTE sensor.
NEXT TRACK
To play a later track on the disc, touch NEXT TRACK.
Each touch moves the laser pen and the bright bar on the
track indicator one track. Allow a moment between each
touch. Play is temporarily interrupted while the laser pick-
up moves.
If you touch NEXT TRACK during play of the last track,
the ERROR sign will light as a reminder that there is no
next track. Play of the last track continues.
BACK TRACK
To play an earlier track on the disc, touch BACK TRACK.
Each touch moves the laser pen and the bright bar on the
track indicator one track. Play is temporarily interrupted
while the laser pick-up moves.
If you touch BACK TRACK during play of the first track,
the ERROR sign will light, as a reminder that there is no
previous track. Play of the first track continues.
PROGRAM
Use PROGRAM to start play with a track other
than the first track. Touch the LOAD touch-button to
close the drawer. The player will read the contents list
then display the playing time of the disc above TIME
TOTal and the track indicator will list the number of
tracks. Touch PROGRAM until the wanted track in-
dicator bar blinks on and off. If you pass the wanted
track, touch PROGRAM until the proper bar blinks.
Start play by touching PLAY. Do this within 7 seconds
after the selected bar has started to blink, otherwise the
bar will light continuously again; play will then begin with
the first track. As long as you have not touched PLAY,
however, you can re-activate the required track using
either PROGRAM touch-button.
When PLAY is touched, the selected bar becomes
brighter, and all the bars before it go off. Play begins as
soon as the laser pick-up reaches the indicated track.
REV
- FF
During play, you can quickly locate a particular music
passage in a track by holding in REV or FF
While you hold REV, the laser pick-up moves
toward the beginning of the track or disc ; while you hold
FF , the laser pick-up moves toward the end of the
track or disc. By using REV and FF alternately,
you can find any part of any passage. After release, play
restarts at once.
During REV and F
F
, the laser pick-up moves
at three successive speeds: for the first 3 seconds relative-
ly slowly, for the next 3 seconds faster, and after approx-
imately 6 seconds at maximum speed. If you continue to
hold down the FF or REV the numbers of the
time display run on at a corresponding rate. When near-
ing the desired passage, release momentarily to go back
to the lowest speed.
If, by holding in REV, the laser pick-up moves
beyond the run-in of the first track, the ERROR indication
lights and the laser pick-up stops at the beginning of the
track. The disc continues to spin, however, so that play
resumes upon release.
If, by holding in FF , the laser pick-up moves
beyond the run-out of the last track, the ERROR indication
lights, and the laser pick-up moves back over the disc
about 20 seconds and remains at that point until FF
is released. This prevents the disc stopping unexpectedly
during search.
PAUSE
The laser pick-up can be stopped exactly at the start of
a track or a passage by touching PAUSE and the PAUSE
