Removing a disc

To protect the disc, pressing the open button will have no effect when the unit is in one of the following three operating modes:
1. While disc information is being reed (disc is spinning).
2. During disc play.
3. While the unit is in the pause mode. Therefore, you should press the stop button to stop the disc, Wait until the disc has stopped rotating, and then preee the open button to remove the disc.
Note:
This protective mechanism does not function if power is switched

Recording characteristics of compact
discs
1
I? order to further improve the S/N ratio of compact discs, some discs include a degree of pre-emphasis in the high frequency range. If a disc with pre-emphasis is inserted into thie unit, the emphasis indicator on the display panel will illuminate. This indicates the recording characteristics of the compact disc being played. If a disc with pre-emphasis is played without any compensation, the high frequency range will be unnaturally strong. Therefore, a corresponding amount of de-emphasis is needed to obtain the proper response. The de-emphasis circuitry of this unit is automatically activated when a disc having we-emphasis is played so there is no need to switch this ciroui
on and off yourself.

Search play (forward/backward)
(Search play can be performed when the player is in the play or in the pause mode.)
This function allows search to any desired point on the disc.
Search play can be performed by using either the forward and backward rocking/search buttons @ or the search dial @ *The position of the pickup is confirmed by watching the display

Press one of these buttons momentarily to
move the pickup by one pit-track (one disc

2
When one of these buttons is held down, the pickup will move slowly at first.

When one of these buttons is held down for
more than about 3 seconds, the pickup will move rapidly.
*Release the button when the desired point has been reached
(as shown by the display).
*If these buttons are pressed during play, sound can be heard
during the search operation. During steps 2 and 3, the output level is decreased by -12 dB (i/4) compared with the normal level. (See page 23.)
About rocking search When two or more CD players are used at a time, as often
happens in a studio for example, fade-in and fade-out of the units have to be timed exactly. The rocking search function is useful for this because it permits movement of the pickup across one pit-track (at inner diameter in about
0.13 second) each time either button is pressed momen­tarily.

*Dial search can be performed at two different speeds depend-
ing on the position (slow and fast) of the dial search speed

*If the search dial is turned clockwise the pickup performs
forward search, and if it is turned counterclockwise, the pickup
performs, backward search.

Notes: *The search speed changes according to the speed at which the
search dial is turned. However, you can not force the pickup to
search faster or slower than iis predetermined limits.
*When dial search is performed with the unit in the play mode,
the normal play speed of the pickup is added to (forward search) or subtracted from (backward search) the dial search saeed.

Using the remote control unit (included)
Inserting the batteries
H Be sure to insert the batteries before using
the remote control unit for the first time.
1. Open the mver on the back of the remote control unit.
Press gently and move
2. Insert two UM-3 “AN’. IEC R6 or equivalent batteries in the direction indicated in the battery compartment.
3. Close the cover.
Use “M-3 “AA” batteries or IEC R6 or equivalent. *Although battery life varies depending on how often the
remote control unit is used, the batteries should be replaced about once every year on the average.
*The batteries should also be replaced if commands from
the remote control unit are not received by this player even when the unit is held close to the player’s front pXV?l.
aRemember to insert the batteries in the correct direction
as shown in the battery compartment.
.To prevent damage to the battery holder from leakage:
‘Replace both batteries at once; do not use one new and
one old battery together.
“DO not use different types of batteries (for example one
standard battery with one alkaline battery).
‘DO not short or overheat batteries.
l
Remove the batteries if the remote control unit is not to
be used for a long period of time.
elf the batteries leak, clean the battery holder well before
inserting new batteries.
Precautions:
-The signal from the remote control unit will not reach this player if there is an obstacle between the remote control unit and the front panel of this player. Be sure you have a dear signal path before pressing a remote-control unit button.
*Commands from the remote control unit may reach this
player even if the remote control unit is pointed in a h&rent direction due to reflection of the infrared signal off walls and other surfaces. To avoid mistaken opera­tions, always use the remote control unit as close as possible to a right angle to the front panel receiver.
*Commands from the remote control unit may not be
picked up by this player if the front panel receiver is
exposed to direct sunlight 01 a very bright light. The front panel should be protected from bright lights (particularly
fluorescent lights) to prevent this problem.
.Do not use remote control units for TV sets, VCRs or
other components at the same time as this player’s remote control unit since this could result in a mistaken operation.
*Do not try to take apart the remote control unit or touch it
on the inside.
.Do not place any heavy objects 0” the remote c0ntrOl
unit or place it in locations where it is subjected to direct sunlight or heat.
*Do not clean the remote control unit with Specially
treated cloths or chemical cleansers. When necessary, wipe with a dry cloth to remove dirt and dust.
*The surface of the remote control unit may be stained 01
damaged by benzine, thinner, insecticides and adhesive
tape.

1 Notes and maintenance
4 Before transporting this unit, be sure to
remove the disc and lock the lock shaft or
severe damage will result.
(See page 3 for directions on shipping this unit again.)
H Close the disc compartment when not in use.
There is a precision-made focusing lens incorporated in this unit. Always close the disc compartment to protect it from dust. Aleo never try to touch the disc platter or lens, or insert your hand inside.
B When carrying or storing the unit handle it
with care, so it is not subjected to any strong bumps.
n Turn down the amplifier volume control
Compact discs are queiter and have a much wider dynamic range than phonograph records. Consequently, you may turn the volume up too high if you try to adjust it by listening to the surface noise as you might with a phonograph record. To prevent this problem, turn the volume down, increasing it as desired only after the music has started.
n The rear panel of the player becomes hot
while a disc is being played.
This is one way in which the player dissipates heat and is not a malfunction. Be careful not to touch the rear panel when the player is being used.
n Times displayed by this unit may differ slight-
ly from the track times in the disc liner note.
The liner note included with each compact disc lists the playing time of each track. Since the times calculated by this unit include pause intervals, the displayed time may differ from the liner note time by this amount.
n Turn off the power switch of the compact disc
player while usig a tuner.
(See page 4 for details.)
H Do not take this unit apart or attempt to make
any changes yourself.
This unit is a very intricate device that uses a laser pickup to retrieve information from the surface of compact discs. The lacer is carefully shielded so that its rays remain inside the cabinet. Therefore, never try to disassemble the unit or alter any of its
parts since you may be exposed to lacer rays and dangerous
voltages.
4 To avoid problems due to vibration;
-Do not place a book or similar object under this unit. *Do not route the connection cables (of this or other units)
across the operation panel, across the top, or under the unit.

Pause time display while pickup is
at the beginning of a track
If the pause button is pressed while the unit is in the stop mode, the pickup moves to the beginning oi the current track and then switches to the pauee mode. In this case. the time display may show 0.1-0.5 second instead of 0 in the %oth sec. digit.
The reason for this is that the pickup stops a little before’ the
beginning of the track to ensure that the track beginning is heard when play is resumed; it is not a malfunction. (It is the same if the pickup skips during the pause mode.)
