INTRODUCTION
GETTING STARTED
UNPACKING AND SETUP
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
Packed with your C 546BEE you will nd:
• An audio cable connector
• The CD 9 remote control with two AA batteries
• A detachable AC power cord
• This owner’s manual on CD-ROM
SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your C 546BEE
arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your C 546BEE,
this is by far the safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many
otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper
shipping carton, so please: Save that box!
CHOOSING A LOCATION
Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to
both sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within
23 feet/7 meters, between the C 546BEE’s front panel and your primary
listening/viewing position. This will ensure reliable infrared remote control
communications. The C 546BEE generates a modest amount of heat, but
nothing that should trouble adjacent components. It is perfectly possible to
stack the C 546BEE on top of other components.
NOTE ON INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT! Install the C 546BEE Compact Disc player on a level, vibrationfree surface. Severe vibration or operation in a tilted position may cause
the player to mis-track. The player may be stacked with other stereo
components, as long as there is adequate ventilation around it. If the
C 546BEE is placed in close proximity to a radio tuner (AM or FM), a VCR or
a television set, the operation of its digital circuits may produce static that
would interfere with reception of weak broadcast signals. If this occurs,
move the C 546BEE away from other devices or switch it o when viewing
or listening to broadcasts.

OPERATION
USING THE C 546BEE CD MODE
CD-R AND CD-RW AUDIO DISCS
The C 546BEE can play back CD-R or CD-RW audio discs that have been
recorded on a computer or CD recorder. The quality of CD-R or CD-RW
audio discs varies widely which may aect playability. Some factors that
aect playability:
• The quality of the disc itself. Generally speaking, CD-R or CD-RW blanks from
well-renowned companies give better results than unbranded ones.
• The quality of CD-recorder or computer CD re/writer. Some recorders
and writers produce better results than others.
• The CD-R and CD-RW were created with high-speed writing. In general,
the quality of a CD-R or CD-RW is better when produced at a lower
speed against a higher speed on the same recorder or re/writer.
PLAYING MP3/WMA FILES
The C 546BEE can play MP3/WMA formatted recordings on CD-R or CD-RW
discs. You may mix any of the le types on the disc. Using the CD 9 remote

PROGRAMMING
The program function enables you to store your favorite tracks from any
disc in the player memory. When programming a sequence of tracks, the
C 546BEE must be in STOP mode. Using the CD 9 remote control, enter your
desired program sequence through the following steps
1 Press [PROG] button of CD 9 remote control. The display indicates “P00
T000”. The “000” in the “T000” keeps on blinking, meaning the player is
awaiting the rst Program entry.
2 Use the Direct-Entry numeric keypad buttons to enter the rst track in
your planned sequence. For example, press “5” to enter track number
5. Upon entering the track number, the VFD will show “P01 T005” with
“005” of “T005” blinking 3 times.
3 The display will revert to show “P02 T000”, indicating that the player is
ready for your second program entry. For example, press “8” to enter
track number 8. Upon entering the second track, the VFD will show “P02
T008” with “008” of “T008” blinking 3 times.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 to select and store other track numbers in
memory, up to a maximum of 40 entries. When you reach P40, the three
blinking digits will keep on ashing and won’t stop. This is unlike the
previous 39 entries wherein after an entry blinked thrice, it moves on to
the next program number/entry.
5 Press [PROG] to end or nalize the program – the VFD will show the last
programmed number and track.
6 Press [u] to start playback of the rst programmed track. Rotate [PLAY/
PAUSE/SKIP] if you wish to SKIP forward/backward the programmed tracks.

(display) “P34 T067” $ [CLEAR] $ (display) “P34 T000” (“000” blinking)
$ enter desired track/song number to replace T067 or press [PROG] to
nalize deletion process
If [PROG] is pressed without entering a new track/song number, the
total 40 program entries will be reduced to 39 entries. The program
sequence will adjust accordingly starting from the deleted program
number.
5 After nalizing your program changes or completing your review, press
[PROG] again.
