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.

This booklet explains how to install, use and program your Compact Disc player. Read it carefully and you will soon get used to the player and all its possibilities.
