Handling Compact Discs
Care and handling of compact discs
With care, a CD will last forever. However, dust scratches,
or warps can lead to noise or playback problems.
Hold the compact disc only by the outer edge, supporting it
at the center hole with your index finger if necessary. Be
careful not to touch the unprinted side of the disc — this is the
side the laser reads. Never glue any labels or stickers to either
side of the disc.
Ifa CD does become dirty, clean it with a commercially
available compact disc cleaning kit or with a silicone cloth
such as those used for cleaning camera lenses. Never use
chemical substances such as alcohol, record cleaners intended
for analog phonograph records, or anti-static fluids.
After you play a compact disc, return it to its plastic case.
Avoid storing the disc in a location that is subject to direct
sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures.
Playing a compact disc
Because of the extremely wide dynamic range made
possible by digital recording, a sudden high volume may result
if you attempt to adjust your volume control by "background
noise level" the way you might with records or cassette tapes.
To avoid damage to speakers or headphones, keep the volume
moderate until you are familiar with the sonic performance of
compact discs.
Loading Standard Compact Discs
1. Press the POWER button to turn on your compact disc
player.
2. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button and place the compact
disc into the drawer with the label facing up.
3. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button to close the drawer. The
number of tracks on the disc and the total playing time will be
displayed.
4. Press the PLAY button either on the front panel or on the
remote control.
¢ To stop playback, press the STOP button.
e To pause during playback, press the PAUSE button. The
PAUSE light in the display will light up. To resume playback,
press either the PAUSE or PLAY button.
Note: When you load a disc, the unit reads the disc and
stores information on up to 20 tracks in its internal memory. It
uses this information for calculating total and remaining
playback time. If the disc you load has more than 20 tracks on
it, the unit will store information about only the first 20 tracks.
It you attempt to use CHECK button to see the total playback
time, for example, the indicator will display only dashes, since
it docs not have information about all the tracks on the disc.
Playing a particular track
Tracks can be selected directly via the 1-10 and +10 keys
on the remote control (See Page 5). Tracks can also be selected
by using the front panel skip back and skip forward buttons.
After loading a disc, press the skip buttons repeatedly until the

desired track number is shown in the display. Then press play.
Particular tracks can also be selected in the same way while
a disc is playing. However, in this case, the selected track will
automatically begin playing.
Skipping quickly to the beginning of other
tracks
1. While a CD is playing, press one of the SKIP buttons
(either SKIP BACK or SKIP FORWARD) until the number of
the track you want to play is displayed.
The unit skips to the beginning of the displayed track and
begins playing. If you press the SKIP BACKWARD button
only once during playback, the unit skips back to the beginning
of the same track and begins playing.
Manually searching
1. While a CD is playing, press one of the SEARCH
buttons (either SEARCH BACK or SEARCH FORWARD)
until you locate the part of the disc you want to hear. If you
SEARCH BACK all the way to the beginning of track 1,
playback will automatically begin there, even if you continue
to hold down the SEARCH BACK button. If you SEARCH
FORWARD all the way to the end of the disc, searching will
stop there. Searching during PROGRAM or REPEAT mode,
the unit will scan rapidly either to the end or the beginning of
the current track, then playback at normal speed will begin.
The unit automatically lowers the volume during a search,
