INTRODUCTION:
Congratulations on your purchase of a Gemini CDX-601 or CDX-602
CD Player. Your state-of-the-art professional CD Player is backed by a
three year warranty that excludes lasers, which are covered by a
separate one year warrenty. Prior to use of this unit, we suggest you
carefully read the following instructions.
Your Gemini CDX-601 CD Player or CDX-602 CD Player comes
equipped with ADCS (Automatic Disc Calibration System), a unique
state-of-the-art feature. CDs are produced by a variety of
manufacturers and recorded by many different professional companies
as well as the do-it-yourselfers at home. Therefore, all CDs do not play
the same. The ADCS (Automatic Disc Calibration System)
automatically adjusts the laser in your CDX-802 CD Player for each
individual CD you insert into the tray, to give you the best possible
performance for every CD you play regardless of how it was
manufactured or how it was recorded. With this exclusive system you
always get consistent and reliable performance as well as exceptional
sound quality every time you play a CD... any CD.

push the CUE button while the CD is playing and the disc will
return to the pre-programmed cue point.
