display and volume control LED will illuminate.
Pressing the POWER switch again will turn the unit

even the unit is switched off completely or unplugged.

to the Stand-by mode and vice versa: Press this but-
ton again to switch the unit on from Stand-by.

couple of days. Switch off completely by pressing the

will extinguish.
2. PHONES
A 1/4" stereo jack socket is supplied for headphone
listening and will work with conventional headphones
of any impedance. Inserting a headphone jack into
this socket automatically switches off the loudspeak-
ers. The volume, tone and balance controls are oper-
ative for headphones listening. Use a suitable
adapter to connect headphones with other types of
connectors, which have 3.5mm stereo 'personal
stereo' jack plug.
NOTE:
Make sure the volume control is turned to minimum
(fully anti-clockwise) before connecting headphones.
Listening at high levels can damage your hearing.

as CD-V, DVD, CD-I, CD-ROM, or PHOTO CD.
4. DISPLAY (LCD)
The LCD display provides information on the
selected input and status of the CD and Tuner.
IN CD MODE:
TRACK NUMBER. Each disc is segmented into
numbered tracks when the recording is made; typical-
ly each numbered track will correspond to a different
song, symphonic movement, etc.
These track numbers are identified on the CD
package and are encoded in the disc by its manufac-
turer.
Normally the alpha-numeric section of the display
shows the time elapsed since the beginning of the
current track. Using the DISPLAY button (No. 14) you
can switch the display to show the playing time
remaining to the end of the disc.
A right-pointing arrowhead
left edge of the display, lights up during play. Two
vertical bars indicate that the player is in pause.
In stop mode the display reverts to showing the
number of tracks and total playing time of the disc.
"NO DISC" is indicated in the display when there
is no disc in the drawer or when you load a disc that
cannot be read (because it is dirty or is upside-down).
"REPEAT 1" lights up in the upper-left corner dur-
ing repeat-play of a single track.
"REPEAT ALL" lights up during repeat play of the
entire CD or all pre-programmed tracks.
Both "REPEAT 1" and "REPEAT ALL" can be
engaged by pressing button No. 9.
"TOTAL REMAIN" lights up in the centre area of
the display if you have pressed the DISPLAY button
to show the remaining time in the disc.
