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.
