Basic Operation; Loading/Ejecting Disc; Selecting Tracks; Starting/Stopping Playback - American Audio CDG-350 Operating Instructions Manual

BASIC OPERATIONS
1. LOADING/EJECTING DISCS
The CDG-350 can only play 3 and 5 inch CDs. Odd shaped, and oval CDs are not compatible. When
loading a CD into the transport tray, always hold the disc by it edge (see Figure 8). Load the disc label
side up and place it in the disc tray. Never touch the signal surface (the glossy side). To remove a disc
from the tray press the EJECT BUTTON (7), see Figure 9.
CAUTION:
• NEVER attempt to load any other objects besides a 3" or 5" CD.
• NEVER attempt to load more than one disc at a time. Doing so may result in sever damage to
your unit.
• NEVER force the transport tray open or closed when the power is off, as this may result in mal-
function and damage the transport system.

2. SELECTING TRACKS

Select a desired track by using either of the two TRACK BUTTONS (16). Tapping the TRACK BUTTONS
(16) once will select either a higher or lower track. You may hold down the TRACK BUTTONS (16) to
change tracks continuously at a higher speed. If you are using the TRACK BUTTONS (16) to select a
new track during playback (a track already playing) the new track you selected will immediately begin
playback as soon as the search operation is completed.
3. STARTING PLAYBACK
Insert an audio CD as described above (loading discs). Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (14) with
an audio CD inserted will immediately start playback. The point at which playback starts (cue point)
will automatically be stored in the memory as the cue point. The unit will return to this cue point (the
point at which playback started) when the CUE BUTTON (15) is pressed.
4. STOPPING PLAYBACK
Stopping playback will not stop the drive mechanism, but merely pause or cue the track. There are
two ways to stop playback:
1) Press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (14) during playback to pause at that point.
2) Press the CUE BUTTON (15) during playback to return the track to it's last cue point.
5. PAUSING
Pausing temporarily stops playback. Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (14) changes the operating
mode between play and pause.
6. AUTO CUE
This function will automatically set a cue point to the first audio source when a CD is loaded. The
first set cue point will always be the beginning of track 1. If a new track is selected before the PLAY
BUTTON (14) is pressed, a new CUE POINT will be set to reflect the new starting point.
