Operating Your C/DC-1500
Loading Discs
To load discs, press the OPEN/CLOSE button. Next, load the disc(s) in the carousel label side up.
Advance the carousel with the DISC SKIP button to load up to 5 discs. The carousel is exposed so you
can change two discs without interrupting the disc currently in play. If you press the DISC SKIP button
while doing this, the disc in play will stop playing and the carousel will rotate to the next disc tray.
CAUTION:
Be patient while loading discs. Don't try to load discs before the carousel drawer has fully
opened or try to close it before you are certain the discs are properly seated. If your C/DC-1500 tries to
close the carousel drawer with discs only partially in place, it may ruin a disc. Do not try to play a
warped disc; it may interfere with the carousel's operation.
Starting Disc Play
After loading, press the DISC NUMBER on the remote or DISC SKIP on the front panel to select the
disc you want to play. Next, press PLAY and the selected disc will start playing on TRACK 1. After
initial turn-on, the unit will start playing TRACK 1 on DISC 1 unless otherwise selected.
Selecting Specific Discs and Tracks
To select a specific track on any disc, press DISC NUMBER on the remote or DISC SKIP on the front
panel to select the disc you want to play. Next, select the desired track with the TRACK NUMBER or
the TRACK SKIP buttons on the remote control or front panel. Finally, start play by pressing PLAY.
Display Panel
Your C/DC-1500 comes equipped with a display panel to show the disc and track in play and elapsed
time. The display panel will also indicate the status of the C/DC-1500's special functions such as
REPEAT, MEMORY, INTRO SEARCH, SHUFFLE, and the MUSIC CALENDAR. The following
drawing illustrates all the functions within the display panel.
Music Calendar
The music calendar on the display panel provides a quick visual status of the number of tracks on a disc,
the current track being played, and how many tracks are left to play. For example, if you are listening
to TRACK 3 on DISC 4 that has a total of 12 tracks, the display panel will show the disc number and
track number with time elapsed. The music calendar will display the total number of tracks left to play
on the disc (up to 20 discs). The tracks that have already been played will disappear from the calendar,
and the track being played will flash.
