you

can

quickly

locate

a

particular

passage

in

a

track

by

pressing

<

<

SEARCH

and

SEARCH

>

>

.

While

you

hold

<

alternately,

you

can

find

any

During

search,

the

laser

pick-up

moves

at

three

successive

speeds

:

for

the

first

relatively

slowly,

thereafter

faster,

and

maximum

speed

is

reached

after

approximately

10

seconds

if

you

continue

At

the

first

two

speeds

the

sound

of

the

remains

audible,

though

accelerated,

unless

you

have

also

pressed

after

that

it

disappears.

When

searching

for

a

passage

by

ear

it

is

advisable

to

release

the

at

that

moment;

you

then

keep

about

10

seconds

into

the

PROGRAMMING

Instead

of

playing

a

complete

disc,

you

can

choose

a

number

of

tracks,

and

play

only

these.

You

can

even

decide

on

the

playing

sequence.

It

is

also

possible

to

play

all

the

tracks

in

a

different

sequence

to

that

on

the

disc.

To

do

this,

it

is

necessary

to

store

your

choice

in

the

from

of

a

program

in

the

memory

of

the

player.

The

memory

will

accept

a

maximum

of

20

entries,

which

means

that

at

most,

20

tracks

can

be

stored.

You

can,

however,

only

store

each

track

once.

If

you

exceed

the

maximum

of

20

tracks,

the

ERROR

indicator

lights

to

remind

you

that

the

memory

is

full

and

cannot

accept

any

more

commands.

Programming

is

only

possible

when

the

disc

is

loaded

and

the

tray

is

closed

with

OPEN/

CLOSE.

The

highest

track

number

that

can

be

stored

is

then

shown

on

the

display

and

determined

at

the

same

time,

so

that

errors

in

this

respect

are

precluded.

To

store

the

track

numbers

that

you

want

to

include

in

a

program

(these

can

be

found

in

the

contents

list

in

the

disc

holder),

bring

up

each

track

number

in

turn

above

TRACK

using

the

I

<

<

TRACK

>

>

I

,

depending

on

which

is

quicker,

then

store

it

by

pressing

the

PROGRAM

key.

Do

not

allow

more

than

5

seconds

to

elapse

between

releasing

the

TRACK

key

and

pressing

the

PROGRAM

key,

otherwise

the

microprocessor

in

the

player

will

assume

that

you

have

changed

your

mind

and

the

flashingafter

the

track

number

will

light

continuously;

the

track

can

then

no

longer

be

stored.

However,

you

can

re-activate

a

missed

track

number

again

by

bringing

up

either

the

pre¬

vious

or

the

following

track

number

and

then

returning

immediately

to

the

one

desired.

Example-From

a

disc

containing

14

tracks,

you

want

to

listen

to

tracks

7,

3,

9,

5,

12

and

10

in

that

order.

Load

the

disc

in

the

tray

and

close

it

usinq

the

OPEN/

CLOSE

key.

When

the

contents

list

has

been

read,

the

figure

’14’

will

appear

above

TRACK.

Now

press

the

TRACK

key

until

7'

appears

and

then

press

the

PROGRAM

key.

Theafter

the

figure

will

now

disap¬

pear

and

will

be

replaced

by

'P'

(from

Program)

as

a

sign

that

this

track

has

been

stored.

The

PROGRAM

indicator

will

light.

Continue

by

going

back

to

'3’

using

the

TRACK

key

and

press

the

PROGRAM

key

again;

you

now

read

'3

P’.

You

display

the

remaining

tracks

in

turn

by

pressing

I

<

<

TRACK

>

>

I,

and

then

store

them

successively

by

press¬

ing

PROGRAM.

As

soon

as

you

have

stored

the

last

track

number

you

will

see

’10

P'.

This

remains

until

play

is

started.

If

you

make

a

mistake

and

store

a

wrong

track

number,

you

can

rectify

this

by

going

to

the

previous

or

following

number,

returning

to

the

wrong

one

and

then

pressing

the

PROGRAM

key

again.

To

show

that

the

wrong

track

num¬

ber

has

been

erased,

the

’P'

is

replaced

by

a

'C'

(from

Clear).

Using

our

example:

you

have

stored

'4'

instead

of

’5'.

You

go

back

to

’3’

using

the

TRACK

key,

return

to

’4'

using

the

TRACK

key

and

then

press

the

PROGRAM

key.

You

will

then

read

’4

C'.

Now

proceed

with

storing

’

5

’.

During

programming

or

when

you

have

finished

program¬

ming,

you

can

check

the

contents

of

the

program

by

pressing

the

PROGRAM

key

(REVIEW

indicator).

All

the

track

numbers

then

appear

in

the

programmed

sequence,

after

which

the

last

stored

number

is

once

again

displayed.

In

our

example:

’-7-’

-

'-3-'

-

’-9’

-

’-5-’

-

’-12-’

-

'-10-'

-

'10

P’.

If

you

discover

that

the

program

contains

a

track

number

you

do

not

want,

you

can

still

erase

it

by

displaying

it

using

the

TRACK

key

and

then

pressing

PROGRAM.

To

erase

the

whole

program,

press

the

STOP

key.

When,

after

pressing

PROGRAM

the

indicator

lights,

this

means

that

the

is

empty

and

no

is

stored.

During

functions

remain

operative,

except

You

start

play

by

pressing

The

progress

of

play

can

be

followed

by

the

jumping

up

or

first

the

designed

for

the

reproduction

of

compact

mark.

No

should

be

loaded

into

To

remove

a

disc

from

its

storage

case,

press

down

on

the

center

of

the

opened

case

and

lift

the

disc

out,

carefully

holding

it

by

the

edges.

Always

place

the

disc

in

the

tray

with

the

label

facing

up.

Although

compact

discs

are

impervious

to

wear

during

play,

damage

to

the

surface

of

a

disc

through

improper

handling

will

result

in

playback

irregularities.

To

preserve

your

compact

discs,

please

handle

them

with

care.

Although

minute

dust

particles

and

fingerprints

should

have

no

effect

on

playback,

you

should

keep

the

surface

of

the

clean

by

wiping

Never

use

antistatic

sprays

or

liquids,

chemical-based

liquid

to

clean

the

surface

of

a

as

these

may

irreparably

damage

Always

return

when

not

using

it.

Avoid

exposing

discs

to

direct

sunlight,

high

temperature

or

FAULTS

AND

THEIR

LIKELY

CAUSES

Although

the

greatest

care

has

been

taken

in

the

manufac¬

ture

of

this

Compact

Disc

player,

the

possibility

remains

that

a

fault

could

appear

or

that

for

some

reason

the

player

fails

to

function

to

your

complete

satisfaction.

The

cause,

however,

will

certainly

not

always

be

found

in

the

player

itself.

External

factors,

and

the

fact

that

it

takes

time

to

become

accustomed

to

the

whole

concept

of

the

new

product

and

the

new

discs,

can

also

play

a

role.

To

save

you

unnecessary

calls

on

your

dealer

or

our

Service

Organization,

we

have

compiled

a

list

of

possible

faults

and

their

causes,

To

even

mention

some

of

these

causes,

such

as

those

to

do

with

mains

connection,

may

perhaps

seem

excessive.

Our

experience

shows,

however,

that

they

are

easily

overlooked

as

sources

of

trouble.

If,

by

using

this

list,

you

do

not

succeed

in

solving

the

problem,

stop

your

investigation.

Disconnect

the

mains

plug

and

contact

your

dealer.

Under

no

circumstances

should

you

open

up

the

player;

this

will

invalidate

all

rights

under

the

guarantee.
