REMOTE RECEIVER An infrared sensor, located at the right-hand
portion of the display window, receives commands from the remote
control. There must be a clear line-of-sight path from the remote control
to this window; if that path is obstructed, the remote control may not
work.
4. OPEN
Press this button to open the disc drawer, and press it again to close
the drawer. If this button is pressed while a disc is being played,
playback will stop, the pickup will reset to the beginning of the disc
and the drawer will open. Opening the drawer will also delete the
players memory for Program Play. When the disc drawer is open, the
drawer-closing mechanism can also be activated by pressing PLAY or
by gently pushing the drawer inward.
NOTE: The disc drawer is opened and closed by an internal motor. Do
not close the drawer by hand with the power off.
When the drawer closes, the player scans the disc's TOC (Table Of
Contents) and displays the total number of tracks and playing time on
the disc. If you press PLAY to close the drawer this information is
skipped, and play commences immediately at Track 1.
5. PLAY/PAUSE
This dual-function button alternates between starting and stopping
playback. Press to start play or to resume play after Pause. During play,
press this button to stop playback temporarily, keeping the optical
pickup at its current position on the disc. The PLAY mode is identified by
a right-pointing arrowhead in the display. The PAUSE mode is identified
by two vertical bars
. To resume playback at the exact point where
it stopped, press PLAY/PAUSE again. If you don't want to resume play at
the same point, you may use the SKIP and SCAN controls to cue the
pickup to a different starting point before pressing PLAY again.
6. TIME
The TIME button alternates between displaying the elapsed or
remaining tracks and time of the disc or program being played. In the
default setting, the display will indicate the current track number and
time elapsed since the beginning of the track. Press the button once to
display the total number of remaining tracks and time of the disc or
program being played. Press again to revert to the default, elapsed time
display.
7. STOP
Press the STOP button once to stop playback, and re-sets the pickup to
the beginning of the disc. The display reverts to showing the number of
tracks and total playing time on the disc. If the CD player was
programmed to play a selection of tracks, the program will be retained
in the player's memory. Pressing STOP a second time will also delete the
program. Pressing STOP twice will also disengage Repeat and Random
play if these were engaged.
8. REPEAT
This button engages the Repeat Play mode, an endless-repeat cycle.
Press the Repeat button once to select the REPEAT 1 mode, in which
only the current track is repeated over and over again. Pressing the
Repeat button once again selects the REPEAT ALL mode, in which the
entire disc is played from beginning to end, over and over again. Press
the Repeat button a third time to cancel the repeat cycle and return to
normal operation.
The Repeat Play mode can be used in combination with Program and
Random Play modes. When the
C 525BEE
"REPEAT 1" or "ALL" will be shown in the Display Panel. Repeat Play
mode can also be disengaged by pressing the STOP button twice. On
the first press of the STOP button, playback will stop, the second press
will disengage Repeat Play mode.
9. RANDOM
Engaging the Random Play mode will play all the tracks once on the CD
in a random order. From Stop, press first the RANDOM and then the
PLAY/PAUSE button to engage Random Play mode. During normal
playback the Random Play mode can also be engaged by pressing the
RANDOM button. The current track will stop playing and the first
randomly selected track will commence.
The Random Play mode can be used in combination with the Repeat
Play All mode but not with Program Play mode. When the
in Random mode "RANDOM" will be shown in the Display Panel. Press
the RANDOM button again to cancel Random Play mode and return to
normal Play mode. Random Play mode can also be disengaged by
pressing the STOP button twice. On the first press of the STOP button,
playback will stop, the second press will disengage Random Play mode.
10. SCAN
The SCAN
button causes the optical pickup to scan backward
through the recording at high speed. This button works only while the
player is in PLAY or PAUSE. After a STOP command, or after loading a
new disc, you must press PLAY before the scan circuit will work. If Scan
is initiated while the player is in PAUSE the scan is silent; if initiated
during PLAY the music will be heard in fragmentary form at reduced
volume as the player scans through it. For the first approximately 50
seconds of a track, scanning will be at around 3 times the speed, after
which scanning speed increases to around 15 times faster than normal
playing speed.
Use this "audible scan" to cue the player precisely to the spot where you
want to resume play. If you scan back to the beginning of the disc while
playing Track 1, the player automatically reverts to normal playback.
The SCAN
button causes the optical pickup to scan rapidly
forward through the music. The behaviour of this function is similar to
SCAN
. If you scan forward to the end of the disc while playing the
final track, the scan will stop and the Time display will show the table of
contents. (There is no "wrap-around" mode.)
