1. INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the new sound experience of Compact Disc digital
audio.
The Compact Disc player
This Compact Disc player not only offers excellent sound quality,
ease of use and extensive display facilities, it also has a number
of unique features, such as rapid access to any point on a disc
(’Direct Track Access’) and the possibility of direct programming
(’Direct Program’).
In addition, the tracks on the disc or in a program can be played
in random order. This player also has various repeat functions
and has the facility for connecting a timer.
Favourite Track Selection (FTS) allows you to store yourfavourite
selection of music for each of your discs in the player’s
permanent memory. When playing a disc you can then, if you
wish, listen to your previously chosen selection forthat particular
disc.
When making recordings of your Compact Discs, it is possible to
automatically insert 3-second pauses between tracks. This is
useful if your cassette player has track-seeking facilities.
Furthermore, this player is fully prepared forfuture developments
in digital signal processing and CD-I and has both wired
(electrical) and optical digital outputs.
The Compact Disc
Each separate piece of music on a compact disc is called a
TRACK. Some new discs, mostly of classical music, also have
INDEX numbers which show divisions within tracks. The track
and index numbers for a disc are listed, together with the titles,
on the card in the disc holder.
All Compact Discs are made so that they contain track and time
information as well as the music; this is called the table of
contents. The player shows all this information on the display so
you can immediately see which track is being played and either
the elapsed or remaining time for that track or the remaining
playing time of the disc or program. The number of tracks and
their playing times are also recorded in the table of contents on
the compact disc. This information is read by the player at
start-up.

3. PRECAUTIONS
- CAec/f that your mains supply voltage is the same as that given
on the type plate on the rear of the player. If not, contact your
dealer.
Certain versions of this player are equipped with a voltage
selector on the rear panel. If you need to change the setting from
220/240 V to 110/120 V, you must at the same time replace the
200 mA fuse in FUSE holder with a 400 mA type.
- Wever place the player directly on top of an amplifier which may
produce considerable heat.
- Always stand the player horizontally on a flat, firm base. Allow
space around it for ventilation.
- Never place the player in a hot sunny position.
- Never allow the player to get damp.
- Keep the player free from dust as far as possible.
- Never attempt to repair the player yourself. This will make the
guarantee void.
- Do not place audio or video cassettes on top of the player
because of the magnetic fields created by the transformer in the
player.
- U.K. only: If you have to fit a mains plug, refer to 7F - 'Fitting a
mains plug’.
4. INSTALLATION
The following are supplied with your Compact Disc player:
- mains lead
- optical connecting lead with ’Tos-Link’ plugs
- analogue connecting lead with two cinch plugs at each end
- remote control handset
- batteries for remote control handset.
Do not forget to remove these from the box.
Remove all packing material from the player and the accessories.
1. Remove the two red transit clamps. These are situated on the
underside of the player (Fig. 4). Turn them in an anti-clockwise
direction and withdraw them from the player.
Always store the two transit clamps in a safe place.
Always refit them before transporting the player.
2. Position the player as required, bearing in mind the precau
tions given above.

5, CONNECTIONS
6. USING THE PLAYER
This Compact Disc player can be connected in various ways.
With the exception of OPTICAL, all connection sockets have a
gold coating in order to minimize the contact resistance between
sockets and leads. To maintain the quality of these connections
we recommend that you use the connection ieads supplied, the
plugs of which also have a gold coating.
Connection via the OPTICAL socket
This output supplies a digital signal via an optical path; for this
reason it can only be connected to a Digital Analog Converter, an
amplifier with an optical digital input or a digitai sound processor.
For this the optical lead is used.
1. Remove the protective caps from the piugs (fig. 3b).
2. Pull out the protective piug from the OPTiCAL socket of the
piayer (fig. 3b).
Note; Store the protective caps in a safe place. If the lead is
disconnected, these caps must be refitted. The same appiies to
the protective piug; this serves to keep the input free from dust
when there is no plug in it, e.g. during transportation.
3. Connect one end of the lead to the OPTICAL socket on the
Compact Disc player.
4. Connect the other end to the optical input of the D/A converter
or of another piece of equipment.
Press in the piugs untii you hear a click.
Important: Ensure that there are no foids in the opticai iead
because this will hinder the conduction of light.
Connection via the ELECTRICAL socket
This output also supplies a digitai signal and can therefore only
be connected to an inputwhich is suitabie forthis signal. Use here
a lead with one cinch plug on either end.
1, Connect one end of the iead to the ELECTRiCAL socket on the
player.
2. Connect the other end to the digital input of a D/A converter
or other piece of equipment.
Important; Never connect the DIGITAL OUT ELECTRICAL
socket to a non-digital input of an amplifier, such as AUX, CD,
TAPE, or PHONO. This can damage the amplifier and the
loudspeakers.
Connection via the ANALOGUE OUT FIX sockets to the am
plifier
Here you use the lead which has two cinch plugs on either end.
1. Push both plugs on one end (white or L=left channel, red or
R = right channel) into the ANALOGUE OUT FIX sockets on the
player.
2. Push the plugs on the other end of the lead into the
corresponding sockets of the CD or AUX input on your amplifier
(or pre-amplifier, tuner-amplifier etc). If this is already in use, you
can also use the TUNER or TAPE IN input, but under no
circumstances should you use the PHONO input. This is not
suitable for a Compact Disc player.
Connection via the ANALOGUE OUT VAR sockets to the
amplifier
These sockets supply a variable signal, the strength of which is
determined by the - VOLUME -l- buttons on the remote control
handset.
After the player has been switched off and then back on again,
the last selected volume level will automatically remain set.
Connection takes place in the same way as via
ANALOGUE OUT FIX.
Connection to the mains supply
1. Press the plug of the mains lead supplied into the terminal
socket.
2. Push the plug Into the wall socket.
Your Compact Disc player is now ready for use.

6E Favourite Track Selection (FTS)
If a program contains your favourite selection from a disc, which
you always want to play, you can keep it by transferring it to the
FTS memory. Such a selection can then be called up again at any
desired time.
Note: When using FTS, the FTS button must alv/ays be used in
conjunction with other buttons. Do not allow more than 5 se
conds to elapse before pressing the next button, otherwise the
player assumes you have changed your mind, if this happens,
’FTS’ stops flashing. Press the FTS button again to restart the
command.
Storing a program In the FTS memory
1. Set up a program as described in section 6D - Programming.
2. Press FTS.
- ’FTS’ flashes on the display.
3. Press STORE.
- ’FTS’ stops flashing.
-The display shows ’FtS’ and the ranking number of this
program for a few moments.
-The program is stored in the FTS memory under this ranking
number and can be recalled whenever you insert this disc.
If ’ERROR’ appears on the display:
The FTS memory is full orthe ranking number is higher than 195. You must
erase some old FTS programs to make room to store this new program.
No program has been set up.
4. Stick the FTS sticker with the ranking number on the spine of
the disc holder.
FTS programmed play
1. Press FTS.
- ’FTS’ flashes on the display.
2. Press PLAY/REPLAY.
- ’FTS’ now stays lit up.
- Your favourite selection for this disc is now recalled and played
automatically.
Page 9
If 'ERROR' appears on the display:
There Is no I^S program stored in the memory for this disc.
You can revert to normal play by pressing STOP/CM twice.
The instructions for playing a program also apply to the functions
of the player during playback of an FTS program.
The FTS memory
The FTS memory will accept 1775 entries. Eight of these are used
for the identification of each disc that you store in the FTS
memory. In addition, 1 entry is used for each track in the program.
The number of discs that you can store is thus dependent on the
number of tracks per disc that you programme. If, for example,
you programme an average of 5 tracks per disc, there is enough
room for 109 discs - 1775:(8+5).
Each disc stored in the FTS memory is allocated a 3-digit ranking
number, which is automatically shown on the display as ’001’,
’002’ etc. There are 195 ranking numbers available. A sheet with
self-adhesive numbered stickers is supplied so that you can
easily distinguish the discs with an FTS program. The sheet also
contains a quantity of un-numbered stickers so that you can
correct any mistakes.
A disc always retains the originally allocated ranking number,
even when you erase the original selection by storing a new one.
A ranking number will only be cancelled if you erase the disc
completely from the FTS memory. This ranking number can then
be allocated to another disc.
By erasing selections, space is made free in the memory. This
also happens if you make a new selection for an already stored
disc; this new selection is in fact stored in a different location from
the old selection.
Where possible the space which is thus made available will be
used for storing new selections, unless the size of the new
selection does not correspond to the resulting free space. As
soon as the memory becomes full, it is reorganized, i.e. the
remaining free space is made available.
This reorganization is indicated by accelerated flashing of the
FTS indication, and can take up to 10 seconds. The player should
definitely not be switched off during this accelerated flashing,
otherwise the entire FTS memory will be erased when it is
switched on again I
Note: Storing a disc in the FTS memory does not mean that you
can only play the selected tracks. You can just as easily play the
complete disc, or compile another, temporary program. The brief
flashing of the ’FTS’ indication after the disc is loaded reminds
you, however, that this disc has an FTS program. If you then wish
to play that program, press PLAY/REPLAY while ’FTS’ is still
flashing.
To erase an FTS program for one single disc
1. Press FTS.
- ’FTS’ flashes on the display.
2. Press TRACK >l or M TRACK repeatedly until the ranking
number to be erased appears on the display behind ’FtS’.
3. Then press CLEAR immediately.
- 'FtS CLr' will briefly appear on the display.
The selection in question has now been erased from the memory.
If you do not know the ranking number of a selection, you must
first Insert the disc.
1. First press FTS, then REVIEW.
- ’FfS’and the required ranking number appear on the display.
2. Then follow steps 2 and 3.
Erasing all FTS programs at once.
Note: Only use this to erase the FTS programs for af/your discs,
for example If you wish to start anew.
1. Press FTS and then REVIEW oroneoftheM TRACK N buttons.
- 'FfS'appears on the display together with a ranking number.
2. Whilst this is still being shown on the display, immediately
press REPEAT and CLEAR simultaneously.
- 'FfS ALL'will appear briefly on the display.
-The FTS memory has now been erased completely.
6F Other possibilities
PLAY MODE switch
This switch can be set to one of three positions:
-NORM: for normal use - each track is played one after the
other.
- COPY: a 3-second pause is inserted after each track before the
next track is played.
- AUTO: stops play at the end of a track until you press PAUSE.
Recording from your Compact Disc piayer*
You can of course make recordings on a cassette recorder, tape
recorder or DAT recorder from your Compact Disc player. You
can either connect the recorder directly to one of the analogue
sockets of the Compact Disc player or via your Hi-Fi system.
When recording, you may find it useful to set the PLAY MODE
switch to COPY or AUTO.
- COPY is useful if your cassette recorder has track-seeking
facilities where the gaps between tracks are detected.
- AUTO enables you to determine the size of the gaps between
tracks yourself. At a later stage, you can record material from
another source in this gap.
* Note for users In U.K. - Recording of material may require
consent. See Copyright Act 1956 and The Performers’ Protection
Acts 1958 to 1972.
7. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
7A Listening with headphones
With headphones connected to the PHONES socket, you can
listen to discs without having to use an amplifier.
The headphones must have a 6.3 mm jack plug and an
impedance between 8 and 2000 ohms.
You adjust the sound level with the VOLUME control.
7B Using the remote control handset
When the player is switched on and the disc is in place, virtually
all functions can also be operated using the remote control
handset.
When the player receives a remote control signal, the IR
indication ’(((O’ lights up.
If, because of the siting of the player, it is difficult for the beam
from the remote control handset to reach the player directly, or
if the distance between the player and the place where you want
to use the handset is too great, you can connect a separate
receiver to one of the SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL IN/OUT
sockets. This receiver is available as an accessory under type
number EM 2200.
If the player is part of a HiFi system which as its own remote
control system, whether this is built-in or separately connected,
you can also operate it using this system by connecting the
SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL IN/OUT sockets of the player to
those of the HiFi system.
Although the signals of the remote control handset can also be
received via reflection, you are recommended to aim the remote
control handset directly at the IR reciever.
7C Replacing batteries in the remote control handset
The remote control handset runs on three R03, UM4 or AAA
1.5 volt batteries. The life of a set of batteries is normally about
one year.
Remove the batteries as soon as they are flat or if you are not
going to use the remote control handset for any length of time,
in order to prevent damage by possible battery leakage.
Page 10
7D Using a timer
By using a timer you can make the player automatically start
playing a disc at a particular time. To do this, your player must be
switched on.
Press TIMER ON OFF.
When the timer switches on the power supply to the player again,
the following takes place:
- ’PAUSE’ appears on the display.
- Above ’MIN’ a ’P’appears and above ’SEC’ a 10 second pause
is counted down.
- Play begins.
If there is an FTS program for this disc in the memory, this will be
played when the power supply is switched on.
7E Maintenance
Discs
Although Compact Discs are covered with a protective layer, it
is still advisable to treat them carefully.
As long as you always pick up discs by the edge, and put them
back in their holders immediately after use, cleaning will not
normally be necessary.
However, should fingerprints, dust or dirt appear, you can wipe
them off with a soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight line
from centre to edge.
Never use detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning
agents used for conventional records!
The player
The player mechanism is fitted with self-lubricating bearings, and
must not be oiled or greased.
Only use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the player. Do not
use cleaning agents containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or
abrasives.
The disc tray should be kept free of dust.
