- Shockproof (PMD331/PMD340) 10 seconds

- Supports instant start (PMD331/PMD340)

- Pitch bend control +/– 8% (PMD331/PMD340)

CD-TEXT

A CD-TEXT disc is a new type of music CD that includes, in addition to the music found on a conventional CD, text data containing
the artist’s name, the album name, track names, etc. This text data is recorded in an area that was unused on music CDs.
Accordingly, a CD-TEXT disc can be played on any conventional CD player, but the text data can be viewed only if the disc is played
on a player that supports the CD-TEXT function, such as the PMD330/331/340.
The player determines automatically whether the current disc is a conventional CD or a CD-TEXT disc.
This player can display the album name, track name, the artist’s name, the songwriter’s name, the composer’s name, and the
arranger’s name, as long as that information is recorded on the disc. Not all of this information will be present on every disc.
For details on how CD-TEXT is displayed, refer to the description of operation found later in this guide.

- This player can display 12 characters of text at one time. If the text data is longer than 12 characters, the text will scroll across the
display from right to left.

- Some CD-TEXT discs include the called “highlights”. This CD player does not support the Highlight Scan function to play the
highlights in sequence.

- The following languages can be displayed as CD-TEXT: English, French, Spanish, and German.

ESPANOLITALINO PORTUGUES

DEUTSCH

CD-RW Disc Playback

In addition to conventional music CDs and CD-R discs, this CD player can also play CD-RW discs.

- In order to play a CD-R or CD-RW disc, the TOC* must be recorded properly.
The process of writing the TOC information to the disc is called “finalizing,” and if this task was not completed properly, the disc
cannot be played back because it will not be recognized properly as a music CD by a regular CD player.
For details, refer to the instruction manual provided with the CD recorder.

- This CD player can only play discs that were recorded in the CD-DA format. Never attempt to “play” a CD-ROM or similar disc
containing computer data.

- When playing a CD-RW disc, it sometimes takes longer to read the TOC compared with a music CD or a CD-R disc.

- This CD player may not be able to play some CD-RW discs properly, depending on the conditions under which the disc was

SVENSKAPORTUGUES ITALINOESPANOL NEDERLANDSDEUTSCH

recorded.

* “TOC” stands for “Table of Contents,” and contains information such as the number of tracks on a disc and the total playback time.

Synchro Recording

Using Synchro Recording

This CD player has a CD SYNC function that makes it easy to
record for this CD player to be used in combination with a cas­sette recorder.

FRANCAIS

- The CD SYNC function works in combination with a cassette

deck that is equipped with the synchro recording function.

- Connect the remote control jack (RC5) output b on this CD
player to the (RC5) input on the cassette deck, and then prepare
the cassette deck for synchro recording.
Refer to figure 2 for the connection method.

Procedure

1. Put the cassette recorder into the synchro recording mode.

2. With the CD player in the stopped state, press the

button !7 to start playing the CD.

3. When the CD player finishes playing, it stops and the cassette
recorder enters the paused state.

4. To continue recording, repeat this procedure, starting from
step 2.

Tips:

- When performing synchro recording with a non-cassette recorder,

such as a CD-R or CD-RW recorder, the operation may dif fer,
so check the instruction manual provided with your recorder.

- When performing synchro recording, set preset menu No.17

“CD sync” to “On”.

- Make sure to set preset menu item No.1 “Auto Cue” to “Off”

and No.13 ”Start” to “Play” or “Stop” before utilizing CD Sync
function.
( See also page 17.)

The cassette recorder automatically begins recording.

The control port is an input/output jack for remote control (D-SUB 25-pin female connector). Different contact circuits (switches,
etc.) can be connected to each input.
In addition, the CD player can be monitored or can provide control to a remote location by using to the output jacks.

FRANCAIS

Notes:

-The maximum output current on pin 12 (Tally power supply) is 80 mA.

-Use a D-sub 25-pin male connector. (Threaded portion: 4-40 UNC)

-When connecting such a connector, refer to the connection examples illustrated below.

- To enable the input from the control I/O jack, set preset menu No. 16 “Remote” to “On”. (See also page 17.)

and then turn the power back on.

The disc does not play.

1. Is the power cord connected properly?

2. Is the POWER switch on?

3. Is the disc positioned correctly?

4. Is the disc right side up? (The disc label should be facingup.)

5. Is the disc dirty?

6. Is the disc damaged?

7. Is the disc warped?

The disc play, but there is no sound.

1. Are the amp and speakers connected properly?

2. Is the amp power switch on?

3. Is the amp function or selector switch set to “CD” or “AUX”

(whichever corresponds to the jacks to which you connected
the CD player)?

4. Is the amp volume set properly?

The disc suddenly stops.

1. Is the disc dirty?

2. Is the disc damaged?

3. Is the disc warped?
