About Compact Disc Digital Audio…

To most people, a Compact Disc (CD) looks like a small, silver phonograph record. In fact, there are some important differences between records and CDs.

The information on a phonograph record is contained within its grooves. This grooves and transmitted via a cartridge. The CD, though arranged in similar grooves, is read by a laser mechanism (called a must be in contact with the record, but a CD player's pickup never touches the CD. The information on the CD is transmitted via complex decoder circuitry.

The CD rotates counterclockwise, and the laser pickup reads the underside of the CD (the side opposite the label) beginning at the center and travelling toward the outer edge. As the pickup moves away from the center, the speed of rotation gradually decreases from 500 to 200 revolutions per minute.

Programs on CDs are organized into

, usually corresponding to songs or movements. This allows the user to easily and precisely select a part of a program with virtually no wear and tear on the CD. There

1 standby

When the master power switch on the rear panel is in the "|" (on) position, pressing this button takes the PCD 3/PDT 3 out of “standby” mode, turns the Display on, and makes the PCD 3/PDT 3 ready to play a CD. Pressing the button again puts the PCD 3/PDT 3 in standby mode and clears any previously programmed sequence of selections. (See "Rear panel" and "Setup and installation.")

2 play

After a CD is loaded into the drawer, pressing this button begins play with the first track on the CD (or the first track in a programmed sequence).

If you press play while the drawer is open, the drawer closes and play starts beginning with the first track on the CD.

Pressing play while a CD is playing suspends play, returns to the beginning of the current track, and replays that track.

3 stop

Pressing this button while a CD is playing stops play and clears any previously programmed sequence of selections.

Pressing play after pressing stop begins play again with the first track on the CD.

4 pause

While a CD is playing, pressing this button suspends play; pressing it again resumes play at the point where pause was first pressed.

The LED above the pause button lights while play is suspended.

5 next

Pressing this button while a CD is playing suspends play, “skips” to the next track on the CD (or the next track in a programmed sequence), and begins playing that track.

Pressing next before play begins skips to the beginning of the next track; pressing play begins playing that track.

6prev

Like the next button, pressing prev while a CD is playing suspends play, “skips” to the previous track on the CD (or the previous track in a programmed sequence), and begins playing that track.

Pressing prev before play begins skips to the beginning of the previous track; pressing play begins playing that track.

7 progm

Pressing this button after making a selection (using next, prev, next index, prev index, or the numbered buttons on the Remote

Control) enters it as part of a programmed sequence. (See "Programming.")

The LED above the progm button will flash while you assemble a program. This LED will remain lighted after an entry is made and while a sequence is playing.

8>>

Holding this button down during play moves the laser pickup toward the end of the CD.

During search, the pickup moves at three different speeds, increasing in speed the longer you hold down the >> button. At the first two search speeds, the volume is reduced; at the fastest search speed, the volume is muted completely.

When you release >>, play resumes.

9<<

This button works in the same way as >>, except that it moves the laser pickup toward the beginning of the CD.

10 next index

If the CD in play has indexes, pressing this button skips the laser pickup to the next index on the CD, and the index number on the Display will increase. (See "Display.")

11 prev index

This button works in the same way as next index, except that it moves the laser pickup toward the beginning of the CD.

12 repeat

Pressing this button before or during play causes all tracks on the CD (or all selections in a programmed sequence) to repeat indefinitely. To cancel this function, press repeat again.

The LED above the repeat button lights while the repeat function is active.

13 drawer

Pressing this button opens the drawer; pressing it again closes the drawer.

Pressing drawer while a CD is playing stops play, clears any previously programmed sequence of selections, and opens the drawer.

PRECAUTION

NEVER hold onto the drawer while it's in motion (either opening or

closing). If you accidentally prevent the drawer from opening, wait about three seconds, then press drawer twice to open it. If you accidentally prevent the drawer from closing, it will open again after about three seconds. Press drawer again to close it.

14 error

This LED will light when a function is entered incorrectly.

15 Display

This window displays information about track, index, and elapsed time. (See "Display.")

16 Remote sensor window

This window receives the infrared signals from the Remote Control, allowing remote operation. Make sure that this window is not blocked. (See "Remote Control.")

17 Drawer

The drawer contains the tray that holds the CD during play. Its operation is controlled by the drawer button.

TRACK INDEX MIN SEC

1 TRACK

Before play begins, this part of the Display shows the total number of tracks on the CD.

During play, this part of the Display shows the number of the track in play.

While play is suspended using pause, it shows the track that was playing when play was suspended.

2 INDEX

Before play, this part of the Display is blank.

If the CD in play has indexes, this part of the Display shows the index on the CD beginning with “01” and increasing as the CD plays.

If the CD in play has no indexes, this part of the Display shows “01” throughout play.

3 MIN SEC

Before play, this part of the Display shows the total time for all tracks on the CD.

During play, this part of the Display shows the elapsed time for the track in play.

After you enter a selection into the memory (as part of a program), the MIN part of the Display shows "P." (See "Programming.")

Each of these buttons (1 – 9) performs the same function as its counterpart on the front panel. (See “Front panel.”)

10 Numbered buttons

These buttons may be used to select tracks when programming a sequence of tracks.

The numbered buttons may also be used to select a particular track (instead of using the NEXT or PREV buttons). Pressing a track number before play, the pressing PLAY, begins play with that track and continues playing tracks on the CD in order.

Pressing a track number during play, then pressing PLAY, skips to that track and begins play, then continues playing tracks on the CD in order.

1 master power

This switch turns the PCD 3 on and off. The switch must be in the "|" (on) position for the PCD 3 to operate. (See "Set-up and installation.")

NEVER operate the master power switch without first making sure that power is turned off to your receiver, integrated amplifier, or preamplifier/power amplifier.

2 unbalanced outputs

These outputs provide single-ended analog audio (via cables equipped with RCA-type connectors) to a receiver, integrated amplifier, or preamplifier equipped with single-ended inputs. Most components accept this type of output. (See "Set-up and installation.")

3 balanced outputs

These outputs provide balanced analog audio (via cables equipped with XLR-type connectors) to a preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver equipped with balanced inputs. (See "Set-up and installation.")

4 RCA (SPDIF) digital output

This output provides digital audio (via a cable equipped with RCAtype connectors) to the digital input of a receiver, integrated amplifier, preamplifier, or digital processor. (See "Set-up and installation.")

5 AC power cord

This cord supplies AC power to the PCD 3. (See "Set-up and installation.")

6 Fuse

This holder contains the main fuse for the PCD 3. If the fuse ever needs to be replaced, contact your Proceed dealer.
