LINE VOLTAGE SELECTION

Model CD-110 is a dual voltage unit. It will operate at 115 or 230 volts. To set the proper voltage follow these steps:

1. Place the head of a screw driver in the center of the VOLTAGE SELECTOR SLIDE SWITCH (17) found on the rear panel.

2. Slide the switch left for 115 volts or push the switch right for 230 volts.

3. Do not force or twist the switch. Excessive force may cause damage. If the switch does not move smoothly, contact a qualified technician.

CONNECTIONS

1. Plug one end of a set of RCA connectors into each of the LINE OUTPUT JACKS (16).

2. Plug the other end of the RCA connectors into any available line level input jacks on your mixer. If you are playing the CD-110 through a receiver, you can plug the RCA connectors into the CD or AUX input jacks on your receiver. If there are no CD or AUX inputs, use any line level (not phono) inputs.

PLAY/PAUSE : Each press of the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (7)

causes the operation to change from play to pause or from pause back to play. See the CUE INSTRUCTIONS section for more information.

TRACK SKIP

the track to play.

SCAN BUTTONS

move foward or reverse while in play mode. The SCAN BUTTONS (8) are also used to accurately position the disc at the point where you wish the track to start playing. This position on the track is memorized as the cue point. See the CUE INSTRUCTIONS section for more information.

STOP : The STOP BUTTON (13) will end the playing of the CD. Also

use the STOP BUTTON (13) to clear selections when programming.

TIME: The TIME BUTTON (10) switches the time display between the

three available choices listed under DISPLAY.

CUE: With the unit in the play mode, and after memorizing the cue point,

pressing the CUE BUTTON (5) will cause the CD player to enter the pause mode at the memorized cue point. Holding down the cue button changes the cue function to preview (allowing you to hear the music play from the cue point) and releasing the cue button returns you to the preset cue point. If a cue point is not memorized, pressing the CUE BUTTON (5) will cause the unit to return to the beginning of that track.

CUE/B REPEAT: After the cue point is memorized, pressing the CUE/B

BUTTON (12) in the play mode, repeats the section between the cue

point and the point where the CUE/B BUTTON (12) was pressed (there will be a slight delay between the end and the restart of play).

SINGLE-AUTO CUE/CONTINUOUS: Pressing the SINGLE-AUTO CUE/

CONTINUOUS (11) button activates the AUTO CUE FUNCTION. The

AUTO CUE FUNCTION causes the unit to pause at the beginning of music of the following track and allows you to start play immediately from the start of music without any blank space (which exists at the beginning of every track). Pressing the SINGLE-AUTO CUE/ CONTINUOUS (11) button a second time activates the CONTINU- OUS function causing the unit to play continuously (after the last track, the unit will return to the first track of the disc and continue to play). Pressing the SINGLE-AUTO CUE/CONTINUOUS (11) button a third time deactivates the CONTINUOUS function.

PITCH CONTROL: Moving the PITCH CONTROL (14) activates the

pitch control of the unit, and the pitch of the CD will change according to the position of the slide.

PITCH BEND : Pushing the PITCH BEND BUTTONS (9) will

temporarily raise or lower the pitch without changing the slide setting. Releasing the buttons will return the pitch to the slide setting.

DIGITAL OUTPUT JACK: Connecting any type of DAT, MD, HARD

DRIVE, or other such items which accept digital signals into the BNC CONNECTOR (15) on the rear panel of the transports allows you to receive a digital signal from CD.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

• 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.
