CUES:
1. To pre-program a cue point (the spot on a CD at which you want play
to start) select the proper track and push PLAY/PAUSE (20) so the unit
enters the PLAY mode (PLAY/PAUSE LED glows green). When the CD
reaches the approximate musical spot you wish to make your cue, push
PLAY/PAUSE (20) so the unit enters the PAUSE mode (PLAY/PAUSE
LED blinks). Move the SEARCH DIAL (8) forward or in reverse until the
precise spot at which you want CD play to begin is located. Rapidly
press the PLAY/PAUSE (20) button twice. The CUE point (blue LED
blinks) is now programmed. Press CUE (21) to return to this pre-pro-
grammed CUE point at any time. Push PLAY/PAUSE (20) and the unit
will instantly play from the pre-selected spot.
NOTE: ONCE YOU HAVE SKIPPED TO ANOTHER TRACK, YOU MAY NOT GO BACK TO
YOUR PROGRAMMED CUE POINT. YOU MUST BEGIN YOUR CUE SELECTION OVER
AGAIN. THE CUE WILL BE PRESET TO THE BEGINNING OF THE SELECTED TRACK.
PRESS THE CUE BUTTON AND YOU WILL BEGIN AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR SELECT-
ED TRACK. START YOUR CUE PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE OVER AGAIN.
2. To fine tune your pre-programmed CUE point, push PLAY/PAUSE
(20) so the unit enters the PLAY mode. Push the CUE (21) button and
the CD will return to the cue point you programmed in step #1 and begin
play from that point. If you decide this CUE point is okay, leave the unit
alone until you are ready to play.
3. If, however, the selected spot is not exactly where you want it, push
the CUE (21) button while the CD is playing and the disc will return to
the pre-programmed CUE point. Locate the exact spot on the CD at
which you want play to start by turning the SEARCH DIAL (8) to find the
exact frame. Push PLAY/PAUSE (20) to pre-program this new CUE
point. Press the CUE (21) button to pause play at the new cue point.
Push PLAY/PAUSE (20) at any time and the unit will play from the pre-
selected spot.
NOTE: DURING FINE TUNING THERE WILL BE A STUTTER EFFECT (TO HELP YOU FIND
THE BEAT). THE STUTTERING EFFECT WILL END WHEN YOU ENTER THE PLAY MODE
TO SAVE THE CUE POINT.
PGM:
1. To program a set list into the CD-150 memory, begin by stopping the
unit from play by pressing STOP (9).
2. Press PGM (16) to begin the set list.
3. Select the track using the TRACK SELECTION (17) buttons to scan

CD-150 will be ready to set your next selection.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 until you have completed your set list, and press
play to begin the set list.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
- If the disk will not play, check to see if the disc was loaded correctly
(label side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt, scratches, etc.
- If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connections. If
they are okay, check your amplifier or receiver.
- If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not assume that
the CD player is defective. Many CDs are recorded out of spec and will
skip on most or all CD players. Before sending the unit in for repair, try
playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.
