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 youto 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 for that 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.
This Compact Disc player only has digital outputs and can
therefore only be used in combination with a Digital Analog
Converter, an amplifier with digital inputs or a digital sound
processor. In this way this player is fully prepared for future
developments in digital signal processing such as CD-I.
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.

3. PRECAUTIONS
- CAecfr 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
500 mA fuse in the FUSE holder with a 800 mA type.
