Time Display; Disc Info - Harman Kardon HD 3700 Owner's Manual

Operation
While the disc is playing, the track being played
will show as a number in the middle of the
display. The elapsed time of the track being
played will also appear in the display (see figure
page 10). As a disc plays, the track numbers will
change, and the time will be shown at the
start of each new track.
To momentarily pause, press the Pause button
13 . Note that a Pause indication will appear
in the display to remind you that the disc is
paused. Press either the Play button
Pause button 13
to resume normal playback.
To stop the disc, press the Stop button
When the Stop button is pressed the display will
again show the total number of tracks and total
running time of the disc.
To remove a disc from the player, press the
Eject button 2 . To prevent dirt and dust from
entering the unit, do not leave the disc tray open.
To place the unit in a Standby mode, press the
Power Switch
on the front panel or the
1
Power Off button on the remote. The display
1
will show a STANDBY message for a moment and
the Status Mode Indicator will glow amber,
indicating that the unit is off, but ready to accept
a Power On command from the remote. If the
disc drawer is open, it will automatically close
when the unit is placed in the Standby mode.
This ensures that the unit will not be harmed
from dust, dirt or inadvertent damage to the
drawer mechanism.
Note that the unit is not removed from AC main
power when it is in the Standby mode but its
power consumption is reduced to a low value.
To remove the AC power completely from the
unit its Power cord must be plugged into a
switch controlled AC outlet that is turned off.
We recommend to use the switched AC outlet
on the rear side of a receiver or amplifier. When
that AC outlet will be turned on, the HD3700 will
always turn to the Standby mode even if it was
on before the AC power was removed.

showing a wide range of information about a CD.
In normal operation the display will show the
total running time of a CD after the disc is first
put in the unit. When the disc is played, the
display will show the running time of a track
in play. Each time the track changes, the time
display will reset
