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 fast access to any point on a disc, but also a

number of unique features.

-Favourite Track Selection (FTS) allows you to store your

favourite 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 for that particular disc.

-When making recordings of your Compact Discs, it is possible

to automatically insert 4-second pauses between tracks. This is

useful if your cassette player has track-seeking facilities.

- Furthermore, this player is fully prepared for future develop ments 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 can display all this information so you can Immediately see which track is being played and either the elapsed time for that track or the remaining time on the whole disc. 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 and use your new Compact

Disc player. Read carefully and you will soon get used to the player

and all its possibilities.

5E Favourite Track Selection (FTS)

To make a program of selected tracks permanent, so that you can

use it each time you play a particular disc, you can store it in FTS

memory. The player has enough FTS memory for an absolute maximum of 226 discs. However, the number of FTS programs that can be stored depends on the number of memory blocks taken up. For

example, if you store 5 tracks per disc, programs for 157 different

discs may be stored.

Cnee stored, you can recall an FTS program for a disc whenever you want to play your previously programmed selection. However, you need not use the FTS program each time you play a disc; you

can equally set up a newtemporary program as in Section 5D. The

brief flashing of ’FTS’ after the disc is loaded reminds you,

however, that it has an FTS programme.

Cnly one program, with a maximum of 20 memory blocks, is

allowed per disc. If you try storing two (or more) FTS programs for a disc, the earlier one is deleted and the most recent one will

be used. The new program is given the same FTS ranking number.

Page 8

Note: When using FTS, the FTS button ® is used in conjunction with other buttons. Do not aiiov/ more than 5 seconds to eiapse between pressing combinations of buttons, otherwise the player assumes you have changed your mind. If this happens, ’FTS’ stops flashing. Press FTS button again to restart the command.

Storing a program in FTS memory

1.Set up the required program as described in section 5D Programming.

2. Press FTS button @.

- ’FTS’ flashes on the display.

3. Press STORE button (|i).

- ’FTS’ stops flashing.

-The display indicates the FTS ranking number of this program

for a few moments.

-The program is stored in 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; however, the ranking number is still lower than

226. You must erase some old FTS programs if you wish to store this program. The ranking number exceeds 226. In this case you will have to erase the entire FTS memory: see: To erase the entire FTS memory’. No program has been set up.

FTS programmed play

1. Set PLAY MODE switch @ to ’NORM PLAY’.

2. Press FTS button @.

- ’FTS’ flashes on the display.

3. Press PLAY/REPLAY button

-The FTS program is recalled and played automatically.

If ’ERROR’ appears on the display:

5F Other possibilities

PLAY MODE switch (§)

This switch can be set to one of four positions:

- ’NORM PLAY’: for normal use - each track is played one after

the other.

- ’SINGLE PLAY’; play stops after the current track has finished, unless the player is in the REPEAT mode. In this case the current track will be played over and over.

- ’COPY PAUSE’: a 4-second pause is inserted after each track before playing the next one.

- ’AUTO PAUSE’: stops play at the end of a track until you press

PAUSE.

Recording from your Compact Disc player’^ You can of course make recordings on a cassette recorder (or other tape recorder) from your Compact Disc player. You can either connect the recorder directly to the Compact Disc player or via your Hi-Fi system. When recording, you may find it useful to set PLAY MODE switch (§) to ’COPY PAUSE’ or ’AUTO PAUSE’.

- ’COPY PAUSE’ is useful if your cassette recorder has track

seeking facilities where the gaps between tracks are detected.

- ’AUTO PAUSE’ enables you to determine 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.

6. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 6A 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 1000 ohms. You adjust the sound level with the VOLUME control (g).

6B 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. In this case the REMOTE CONTROL-switch @ has to be set to ’INTERNAL’. The remote control handset works up to a distance of about 8 metres from the player. When the player receives a remote control signal, the IR indicator © lights. 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 more than about 8 m, you can connect a separate receiver to the REMOTE CONTROL IN-socket ©. This receiver is available as an accessory under type number EM 2200. While using the receiver you have to set the REMOTE CONTROL-switch © to ’EXTERNAL’. 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 player or the receiver, as far as possible, because the power ofthesignalbeamdecreasesasthe batteries become drained.

6C 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.

Note: This apparatus must be protected by a 3 amp fuse if a 13 amp plug is used, or, if any other type of plug is used, by a

5 amp fuse either in the plug or adaptor, or at the distribution

board. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.

6D 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.

8. BEFORE CALLING THE REPAIRMAN

If you suspect that your player is faulty, first consult this checklist.

You may find you have overlooked something quite simple.

Under no circumstances should you open up the player; this will

invalidate all rights under the guarantee.

1. After pressing the POWER switch, the display does not

light.

-The button is not pressed in far enough.

- One of the plugs of the mains lead is not connected or is not

making contact.

-There is no supply at the mains socket. Plug in another

electrical appliance and check if that works.

2. After pressing OPEN/CLOSE, the disc-tray does not slide out.

-The transit screws have not been removed.

-The player is not switched on. Check if the display is lit.

-The microprocessor has not received the command properly.

Check if the disc-tray opens if you switch the player off and on

again, and then press CPEN/CLCSE once more.

-The disc-tray drive is not functioning. You cannot rectify tills

yourself.

3. After pressing OPEN/CLOSE, PLAY/REPLAY or SCAN, the disc-tray does not slide in.

-The mains supply has been interrupted. Check if the display is

lit.

-The microprocessor has not received the command correctly.

Check if the disc-tray closes if you switch the player off and on

again.

-The disc-tray drive is not functioning. You cannot rectify this

yourself, if a disc is in position, remove it, then push the disc-tray

in carefully to close it.

4. After closing the disc-tray, ’DISC’ and ’ERROR’ light briefly.

-The disc is not inserted with the label upwards or there is no

disc in the disc-tray.

- The disc is dirty. See if cleaning the disc, or using another, clean

disc, clears the fault.

-The disc is defective. Try another disc.

-There is an unwanted object in the disc-tray, e.g. a piece of

paper or a remnant of packaging.

6. The sound is poor or distorted, or you can hear only one

channel.

-The player is not connected to the CD, AUX, TUNER orTAPE IN

input of the amplifier but to the PHONO input.

-One of the plugs of the connection cable is either not

connected or not properly connected.

-The disc is dirty or badly scratched. See if cleaning the disc or

using another, clean or scratch-free disc improves the situation.

-There is an unwanted object in the disc-tray, e.g. a piece of

paper or a remnant of packaging.

helps or try programming another disc.

-The microprocessor has not processed the commands properly. Erase the program by pressing STOP/CM and store it again; restart play and check if the fault has cleared.

-All 20 memory blocks are already occupied and you have missed ’ERROR’ which indicates this.

- FTS memory is full.

8. Playback does not begin with the first track on the disc or of the program, but with another.

-The microprocessor has not processed the command cor rectly. Check if switching the player off and on again, and then restarting clears the fault.

-The disc is dirty or badly scratched. See if cleaning the disc or using another, clean or scratch-free disc clears the fault.

-The disc is defective. Try another disc.

-There is an unwanted object in the disc-tray, e.g. a piece of paper or a remnant of packaging.

9. Playback stops before the end of the disc or the program.
