Compact Discs; Playing Cd-Rw Discs - Marantz CD Player User Manual

COMPACT DISCS

The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side of the disc, and
the side on which the label is printed is the back.
Unlike conventional turntables for playing analog discs, the CD6000/
CD6000OSE Compact Disc Player reads the information recorded on
the disc from underneath without contacting it using a beam of laser light.
Therefore, the performance of a compact disc will not degrade like
conventional analog records.
Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch the front side.
To protect the disc, avoid placing it in the following locations:
– In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a heater.
– In a place which is damp or dirty.
– In a place which could be exposed to rain, such as near a window.
Always keep the disc surface clean.
Up to six billion data units are recorded on the front side of the disc.
When cleaning the disc surface, always be sure to use a special
compact disc cleaner and wipe as shown below.
Wipe in a radial direction. Do not wipe in circumferential direction.
• Do not use conventional record cleaner for analog records, as this will
adversely affect the disc surface.
Store discs properly by placing them in their disc cases.
• Do not attach a piece of paper or sticker on the label side of disc.
When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental CD label with paste
protruded from the edge or when a disc has a trace of such a sticky
object, do not attempt to play the disc. If such a disc is played on the
CD player, impossibility of taking out the disc or other malfunction may
result.
• Do not use a disc with a special shape.
Do not attempt to play a disc with a special shape such as a heart-
shaped disc or octagonal disc. Otherwise the equipment malfunction
may result.
About CD-TEXT
The CD-TEXT is a new type of music CD featuring the recording of
character information on the performer names, album name, track
names, etc., in addition to the audio information contained in music CD.
The character information is recorded in an area which has not been
utilized by previous music CDs. This means that the CD-TEXT discs can
be played back in the same way as ordinary music CD discs on any CD
player and that a CD-TEXT compatible player such as this unit can view
the character information in them as well as the audio.
This unit detects the CD-TEXT compatibility of each disc automatically
and displays the result in the display panel.

Lights up when the loaded disc is CD-TEXT compatible.
By operating the provided remote control unit, the display can show the
character information including the album name, track names, per-
former names, verse writer names, music composer names, arranger
names, message and music genre. However, note that the content of the
character information is variable depending on discs.
* For detailed operating procedures for displaying the character infor-
mation in the CD-TEXT, read the description in the main text of this
manual.
The display of this unit can display up to 12 characters at a time. If the
character information in a disc is longer, the characters are scrolled from
the left to the right on the display.
* Scrolling refers to a method of displaying characters by moving them.
This unit is capable of smooth scrolling by feeding characters bit by
bit.
Some of the CD-TEXT compatible discs also contains the recording of
the highlight sections of its tracks. This unit is capable of playing only the
highlight sections one after another, and this feature is referred to as
HIGHLIGHT SCAN.

Playing CD-RW discs

This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable) discs as well as ordinary
music CD and CD-R (Recordable) discs.
* The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain properly-recorded TOC
information so that they can be played back. With the CD recorder
system, writing the TOC information in a disc is referred to as finalizing
the disc. A disc cannot be recognized as a CD disc and played back
unless it has been finalized properly. For details, please read the
instruction manual provided with a CD recorder.
* TOC stands for Table Of Contents and contains information such as
the total number of tracks and total playing time of the disc.
* This unit can play only the discs recorded in the CD-DA format
designed for music reproduction. Do not attempt to play a disc
containing other data, such as a CD-ROM for PCs, on this unit.
* As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates partial change of the
player setup, it may take longer time for reading the TOC information
than when a music CD or CD-R disc is played.
