x Index:
In some
Compact
Discs, indexes are used to divide
tracks into smaller sections for easy access. If a disc
includes indexes, a list of the indexes will be contained
in the liner note included
with that disc.

has been completed.
© Emphasis indicator:
Iluminates
when
a disc containing
pre- -emphasis is
played.
i | > Pre-emphasis:
In order to further improve the S/N ratio of compact
discs, some discs include a degree of emphasis in the
high frequency range called pre-emphasis.
If these
discs are played without any compensation, the high
frequency range will be unnaturally strong. Therefore,
a corresponding amount of de-emphasis is needed to
obtain the proper response. The de-emphasis circuitry
of this unit is automatically activated when
a disc
having pre-emphasis is played.
© Remote control receiver
Signals from the accessory infrared remote control unit
are received here.
The remote
control
indicator illuminates to shown

@ Stop button
Press this button to stop disc play.
eWhen
this button

all previous
settings are
cancelled and the player returns to the stop mode.
@® Forward and backward
search buttons
Use these
buttons
to move
the pickup
forward
and
backward
(Manual search play function).
eWhen either of these buttons is pressed, the pickup will
move slowly at first and then rapidly if the button is held
down for more than about three seconds.
eUse
the search buttons when
the player is in the pause
mode or during disc play to move the pickup to a specific
point on the disc.
Press
the search (___bG_] button to move the pickup
forward.
ePress
the search (_<<—_]
button
to move
the pickup
backward.
Release the search button when the pickup has moved to the
desired
location (as shown
by the display panel).
® During disc play, search can be performed while listening to
the signal from the disc to aid in locating a specific point.
The output level is decreased by 12 dB (1%) compared with
the level during standard disc play.
@ Forward and. backward. skip buttons
Use these buttons to move the pickup to the beginning of
the next track in the forward
or backward
direction
(forward and backward skip play function).
eWhen one of the skip buttons is pressed during disc play or
the.pause mode, the pickup will skip the same number of
tracks as the number
of times the button
is pressed.
When
one of the skip buttons is pressed during program
disc play, the pickup will move to the beginning of the next
or previous programmed track.
ePress the skip [=o | button to move the pickup forward.
ePress the skip
button to move the pickup backward.
eWhen
either of these buttons
is held down, tracks are
skipped continuously. (Quick skip)
@ Output level control
buttons
Use this button to adjust the output level (volume) of the
signal sent from the rear panel VARIABLE
LINE OUT
jacks.
(This function will only work when the stereo connection
cable is connected to the VARIABLE LINE OUT terminals on
the rear panel of the player.)
Press
the output
level control (4)
button
to raise the
output level.
Press the output level control [yz]
button
to lower the
output level.
An output level control function is provided because compact
discs contain a much wider dynamic range than phonograph
records do and because the output level often differs from
disc
to disc.
With
a constant
output
level,
it would
be
necessary to readjust the amplifier volume control setting
every time you switched to or from the CD player or changed
discs.
In this unit, the
volume
level
can
be adjusted
electronically by using these buttons or the volume buttons
on the remote control unit to match the output level with that
of other components and your usual amplifier volume level
setting.
@® Forward/Backward
index skip buttons
Use
these
buttons
to move
the
pickup
forward
or
backward to the beginning of a specific index. (forward
and backward index skip function)
eWhen these buttons are used during disc play or when the
unit is in the pause mode, the number of times the forward
or backward index button is pressed determines the number
of indexes
that are skipped.
Press the index skip
button to move
the pickup
forward.
Press
the index
skip
button
to move
the pickup
backward.
elf either button is held down, the pickup continuously skips
over indexes until the button is released.
Having this separate index skip button is very useful when
—g—
playing discs which contain indexes.
