INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the new sound experience of Compact Disc Digital
Audio.
Compact Disc is the biggest advance ever made in audio
technology. By employing the most sophisticated digital and
optical technologies, Compact Disc not only produces the
ultimate in sound reproduction, it also gives you, the user, access
to operating features which have never before been seen in audio
equipment designed for the home, such as fast access to every
track and index number on the disc and very simple programming
facilities.
To make operation even easier, this Compact Disc player can be
remotely controlled.
In these instructions you will find everything you need to know
about installing, operating and programming your Compact Disc
player. Read through the text carefully and you will quickly
become familiar with all the facilities offered by this new way of
listening to discs.

INSTALLATION
Unpacking
The following accessories are supplied with this Compact Disc
player:
• a power supply lead;
• a signal output cable for connection to the amplifier:
• a remote control handset;
• batteries for the remote control handset.
Make sure that you take all these accessories out of the box.
Remove all packaging materials from the player and the acces
sories.
Peel the transparent protective foil off the display. This foil is only
held in place by static attraction and can easily be removed,
beginning at one corner.
Checking the Power Supply Setting (Fig. 1)
The type plate, at the rear of your Compact Disc player, tells you
the supply voltage for which the player is set.
If your mains supply voltage is different, or becomes different in
the future, get your dealer or our Service Organisation to change
the voltage setting for you.
Removing the Transit Ciamps (Fig. 2-3)
On the bottom of the player you will see two red transit clamps.
These lock the player mechanism and the disc tray to protect
them during transportation.
Turn both of these clamps anti-clockwise, withdraw them from
the player, and store them in the recesses provided.
If, at any time, you want to transport the Compact Disc player, you
must lock the mechanism and the disc tray again to avoid damage.
To do this, turn the player upside-down, insert the clamps in their
slots and rotate them clockwise until they reach a stop.
Siting the Piayer
This Compact Disc player can equally well be sited free-standing
as in an audio rack, or it can be stacked with other components.
Never stand the player in persistent direct sunlight or near any
heat source.
a. Free-standing - If sited free-standing, the player must always
stand horizontally on a flat, firm surface, not on a mat or anything
similar.
If siting the player in a cupboard or a wall unit, always allow a
minimum free space of 3 cm above the player so as not to
interfere with the cooling of the player.
b. in an audio-rack-In an audio-rack the player can be sited in any
desired position.
c. Stacked - In a stack of your own selected equipment, site the
player for preference at the bottom or on the top. Under no
circumstances stand the player directly upon a high-power
amplifier, because such an amplifier gives off a substantial
amount of heat.
Warning - Do not place audio or video cassettes on the player
because of the effects of the magnetic fields produced by the
player transformer.
Connections (Fig. 4)
At the back of the player you will find the following connection
sockets:
a OUT: for the signal output cable to the amplifier,
b RC5IN/OUT: for a separate receiver for the signals from the
remote control handset.
c DIG OUT: for digital equipment. This socket makes the player
suitable for future Compact Disc applications such as CD-I and
digital signal processing,
d Connection for the mains lead.
The Display (Fig. 6-14)
Because of the diversity of indications the display can show, these
are described separately below.
Connecting the Signal Output Cable - The signal output cable has,
at both ends, a red plug (forthe right channel) and a black or white
plug (for the left channel).
Insert one red plug in the socket R (right channel) and the
corresponding black or white plug into the socket L (left channel).
Insert both other plugs into the corresponding sockets of the CD
or AUX input on your (pre-)amplifier.
If these sockets are already in use, you can also use the TUNER
or TAPE IN connection, but never the PHONO input! This latter
is not suitable for the connection of a Compact Disc player.
Connecting the Mains Lead- Fit the female plug of the mains lead
into the connection socket on the player, and the male plug into
a suitable mains supply socket.
OPERATION (Fig. 5)
Your Compact Disc player is now ready for use. Before
attempting to operate it, however, it is advisable to familiarise
yourself with the functions of its keys and display as described

On/Off Indication (6) - When the player is switched on, the TIME,
min, sec and ’- -’ indications light up, together with all the
numbers on the track matrix (1-20) and the IR emblem. They go
off again when the player is switched off.
Stand-by Indication (7) - At the moment that the disc tray closes,
the indication ’- -’ starts to flash as a sign that the player is
scanning the contents list on the disc. The indication keeps
flashing until this is finished.
Track number matrix (8) - As soon as the contents list on the disc
has been read, the numbers displayed on the track number matrix
show the number of tracks present on the disc (e.g. ’1-14’) for a
disc with 14 tracks). The progress of play can be followed by the
successive flashing and going off of these numbers.
Elapsed Playing Time Indication (9) - During play, the TIME
indication is lit, and the elapsed playing time of each track appears
in minutes and seconds under min and sec.
Track and index Number Indication above TRACK and INDEX (10)
- You can display the numbers of the tracks and indexes on the
disc above TRACK and INDEX. To do this, you press the
TRACK TIME key. The TIME, min and sec indications then go off
and TRACK and INDEX light up.
According to the progress of play, the numbers are shown as 101,
201 and so on. The numbers above INDEX change only if different
passages within a track have index numbers: see the contents list
in the disc-holder.
Total Playing Time Indication (11)-\f you want to know the total
playing time of a disc, close the tray with the OPEN/CLOSE key

must take into account the operation of the track number matrix.
This works normally for the first 20 tracks, i.e. after the reading of
the contents list, all 20 numbers remain alight. In addition, the
-I- 20 indication lights up.
The 20 numbers go off in succession as play progresses. When
the 20th track ends, the +20 indication starts flashing, to indicate
that there are still more tracks to follow. The numbers of these
tracks are not displayed on the track number matrix, but you can
still display them above TRACK and INDEX by pressing the
TRACK TIME key.
If you close the disc tray with the OPEN/CLOSE key, or by hand,
you can also display the total number of tracks on the disc above
TRACK by pressing TRACK TIME.
Error Indication (13) - If you make a mistake when operating or
programming, the Err (for Error) warning appears for a short time.
It also appears, though not of course meant as a warning, when
you switch on the player with an empty disc tray, and close the
empty tray after use.
Other indications (14) - PAUSE and REPEAT light when you press
the corresponding keys. FTS flashes or lights continuously after
the FTS key has been pressed, o))) lights up when you give a
