Getting Started
After making connections, set the BALANCED OUT switch on the rear to ON. When you don't use the
balanced output, set the switch back to OFF.

■When making digital hookups

You can avoid deterioration of the signal during transmission, since the music signal output through the digital output connectors retains digital form. You can connect a digital component such as a digital amplifier, D/A converter, DAT or MD. When you connect a DAT or MD, you can make digital recordings from CDs. Note that you cannot use fading in or out function (page 16) when making this connection.
If you have a digital component with an optical digital input connector
Connect the component via the DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) connector using the optical cable (not supplied). Take off the cap and plug in the optical cable.

Storing Information About
CDs (Custom Files)

What You Can Do With the Custom Files

The player can store 2 types of information called
"Custom Files" for each disc. Once you have stored Custoni Files for a disc, the player automatically recalls what you have stored whenever you insert the disc. Note that Custom Files will be erased if you don't use the player for about 1 month.

You can store this information;

When you use
Custom Index (page 19)
Delete Bank (page 20)
You can
Index the disc at up to 8 points
(for a disc with 32 tracks or less) or 5 points (for a disc with over 32 tracks)
Delete unwanted tracks and store only the tracks you want
I

Note

If you use the Auto Space function when recording, for example, a medley or symphony, the sound may be interrupted where the track number changes. It happens when the track numbers are assigned in the middle of the piece.
The Custom File indication lights up when you store the corresponding information.

C.FILE

DELETE-

INDEX

When you store a Custom File for a disc, the player remembers how you played that disc last time even if you removed the disc from the player (last mode
memory). When you insert the same disc again, therefore, the player plays in the same play mode. The player also remembers the duration of fade in/out time if you've changed the time.
Note that when you press ► to close the disc tray and
start playing, the player plays in the play mode
currently selected instead of the stored one.

Where are Custom Files stored?

Custom Files are stored not on the disc but in the player's memory. This means you cannot use Custom Files when you play the disc on other players.

> Delete Bank . Custom Index

How many discs can you file?

You can file up to 224 discs in the Custom File. Note that the player counts a disc as two when you store the Custom Index and Delete Bank at the same time.

• The player is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the player for a long time, be sure to disconnect the player from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug
itself; never pull the cord.
• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On placement

• Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent heat build-up in the player.
• Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
• Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in
a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.
