BEFORE USE

Check the contents:

Check that the carton contains the following items:

• MCD300 player

• Operating instructions

• Pair of cinch cords

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
Do not place metal objects or spill liquid inside the unit. Electric shock or malfunction
may result.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:

• Placing and using the unit for long periods near heat-generating sources such as
amplifiers, spotlights, etc. will affect its performance and may even damage the
unit.

• Take care to minimize shocks and vibrations during transport.

• When installed in a booth or flight case, please make sure to have good ventilation

to improve heat evacuation of the unit.

• To avoid condensation to be formed inside, allow the unit to adapt to the
surrounding temperatures when bringing it into a warm room after transport.
Condense sometimes prevents the unit from working at full performance.

• Choose the place where you put your installation very carefully. Avoid presence of
heat sources. Avoid places with vibrations or places that are dusty and humid.

• The player will work normally when installed on a surface with max. 15° inclination.

• Be very careful while handling CDs, do not touch them with wet or dirty hands.

• Discs that are dirty must be cleaned with special designed cloth and cleaning

products.

• Do not use CDs that are badly damaged (scratched or deformed) they can damage
your appliance.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

• In order to prevent electric shock, do not open the top cover. If a problem occurs,

contact your dealer.

• Do not place metal objects or spill liquid inside the CD player. Electric shock or
malfunction may result.

• This CD player uses the semiconductor laser. To allow you to enjoy music at a
stable operation, it is recommended to use this in a room of 5°C – 35°C.

• The compact disc player should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except
properly qualified service personnel.

• This unit may cause interference to radio and television reception.

CAUTION

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within the equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the use or the presence of un-insulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock.
The exclamation point within the equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important operation and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying this appliance.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not remove any cover. No user­serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to
qualified service personnel only.

ENGLISH USER MANUAL

CLEANING THE CD-PLAYER:
Clean by wiping with a polished cloth slightly dipped with water. Avoid getting water
inside the unit. Do not use volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which will
damage the unit.

CONNECTIONS

• Use the supplied cinch cables to connect the audio outputs of the CD player with
the CD or line inputs on your mixing unit.

• Connect the mains cable.

CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS

1. SEARCH WHEEL (OUTER RING): This wheel has 4 forward and 4 backward

speed positions for searching through songs. The more you turn the wheel in
either direction the faster you will search through the music.

2. JOG WHEEL (INNER RING): This jog wheel serves 2 functions depending on

the mode you are working in.

• The jog wheel acts as a slow frame search (1/75sec) control when the CD is

not playing but either paused or set to a cue point. To set a new cue point,
spin the wheel and press PLAY when you have determined the proper
position. Press CUE to return to the “CUE POINT”.

• The jog wheel temporarily bends the pitch of the music up to +/-16% if the

song is already playing by rotating the wheel clockwise to speed up or
counterclockwise to slow down. The amount of pitch change is determined by
the speed of rotation.

3. TRACK SEARCH Buttons: These buttons are used to select the track to be

played. Forward skip & back skip. Press the +10 button to skip 10 tracks at once.

4. CUE button: Pressing the CUE button during play provides an immediate return

to the position at which play was started. Playback is started immediately from
the programmed cue point for as long as the CUE button is pressed. The CD
player jumps back to the cue point as soon as the CUE button is released. Also
with the unit in pause mode (Play/Pause LED blinks) the search and/or jog wheel
is used to set a different start point. By pressing "PLAY/PAUSE" button then
"CUE", you can confirm this new cue point. The CUE LED will light up since the
cue button is pressed until the CD has returned to the position at which play was
started.

The second track is programmed, the display shows “-- P-03 02”

• Continue these steps until you are finished.

• Now simply press the “play/pause button” to start the sequence. The first

track in your sequence starts playing while the display shows”** P-01”
The programmed sequence plays in an endless loop until you stop the program
mode by pressing the PROGRAM button for about 2 seconds”. The led next to

4. SECOND: Shows “seconds” time information of current track.

5. FRAME: Shows “frame” time information of current track. (1 frame = 1/75

6. SINGLE/CONTINUE: “single” appears when the unit is set to play just one track

at a time. Otherwise the CD will play continuously through all tracks. This function
is controlled by the SGL/CTN button.

ENGLISH USER MANUAL

HOW TO USE …

Most of the common functions are explained in the previous chapter “controls and
functions” In this chapter we talk about the functions that need a little more
explanation.

• PLAYING MP3 FILES:

The CD player automatically detects if a CD contains MP3 files. The MCD300 is
able to read several different MP3 formats but due to display limitations it can’t
show the ID3-tags (song title/performer/…). The CD may contain up to 999 MP3­files, spread over maximum 255 folders. When the MP3-files are sorted in separate
folders, the MCD300 will list all files as if no folders exist.
The MP3-files may have the following file extensions: .mp3 ~ .MP3 ~ .mP3 ~ .Mp3
Check the technical specifications to see which MP3-files are allowed.

• PLAYING CD-R and CD-RW:

Apart from normal audio CD’s the MCD300 can play both CD-R (CD recordable)
and CD-RW (CD rewriteable). Please note that you should always use the “disc at
once” and “track at once” disc writing options! If the disc is multi session, it will only
play the first session:

• SLEEP MODE:

The CD player automatically shuts off the transport and laser after about 15
minutes (when in pause or cue mode). This extends the life of your motor drive and
laser. During sleep mode the display shows the word “SLEEP”. To wake up the
player, just press the cue or play button, the display turns to normal and is ready to
receive instructions.

• STORING A CUE POINT

Put the player in pause and use the jog/shuttle wheel to search the exact location
for the cue point. Once this location is found, press the PLAY/PAUSE button to set
the new cue point. (the cue led flashes 2 times to indicate that the new cue point is
set and the track starts playing from this new cue point)
Once the cue point is programmed, just press the CUE button to recall it.

• PITCH BENDING:

This function is used to put the beats of two tracks in perfect sync. This can be
done in two ways:

• PITCH BEND buttons: The speed increases or decreases respectively as long as

• JOG WHEEL: During play mode the JOG WHEEL will temporarily bend the pitch

of the music by turning the JOG WHEEL clockwise to speed up or
counterclockwise to slowdown. The rotation speed the JOG WHEEL determines
the percent of pitch bend.
