Notes
• Not all discs have index numbers. The index system is a
method for sub-dividing tracks into smaller divisions (for
example, the movements within classical symphonies) for
easier location of those parts. The liner notes with the disc
usually tell if such index numbers are included.
• If an index number is selected that is higher than any index
number on that disc, play will start from the last index
number point on the disc.
• For some discs, play may begin slightly prior to the actual
designated index point.
• If the disc has no encoded index points, play will begin from
the start of the selected track.
• The index number can be designated only while the INDEX
number display is illuminated.
TRACK PROGRAMMING FOR RECORDING TO TAPE
The unit can automatically program tracks considering the tape’s total time. This convenient feature can help you to program tracks
so that they fit onto the tape with the least amount of unrecorded space remaining at the end of each side (A and B) of the tape.

TAPE button.
Notes
• If, in step 3 or 5, “E rr” appears on the display, the track
number just selected cannot be programmed because there
is not enough time remaining on the tape. However, at this
time, if any other track number is flashing continuously on the
display, you can program it instead of the unprogrammable
one.
• In step 3 or 5, each time a selection is made, the track number
and the tape’s remaining time will be displayed, and then the
display will change to indicate the next program number.

Notes
• Because the programmed data changes every time the
RANDOM button is pressed, the amount of time remaining at
the end of the tape also changes accordingly.
• If the tape’s length is not enough, not all tracks can be
programmed. In this case, exchange the tape for a longer
one.

Notes
• Sound peak levels are randomly selected by this unit’s
internal microcomputer. Therefore, even if a peak search is
performed twice or more on the same disc, the same peak
may not be selected each time. However, this will not greatly
affect the adjustment of recording levels.
• In program play mode, this feature functions with
programmed tracks only . If program play is being performed,
first press the STOP button, and then press the PEAK

CD SYNCHRONIZED RECORDING
This unit can perform automatic synchronized CD to tape recording. With this function, you can record a CD on tape very easily and
more precisely.
This recording method requires a YAMAHA tape deck compatible with this function. (Refer to the tape deck’s operation manual to
know whether it is compatible or not.)
* This unit and the tape deck must be placed near each other so that both can receive the signals from this unit’s remote control
transmitter.

Battery replacement
If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used
closer to the main unit than usual, the batteries are weak.
Replace both batteries with new ones.
Notes
• Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement.
• Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside
the battery compartment.)
• Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not
be used for an extended period of time.
• If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching
the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing,
etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before
installing new batteries.

NOTES ABOUT HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
• This compact disc player is designed only for playing
compact discs bearing the
any other type of disc into the unit.
The unit will also play 8-cm (3-inch) compact discs.
• To remove a disc from its storage case, open the case and
then press down at the center; with a finger through the
center hole and the outer edges held as shown in the
illustration, lift the disc out carefully .
• Always handle the disc with care so that its surface is not
scratched.
mark. Never attempt to load
• Compact discs are not affected by small particles of dust or
fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so they should
be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe
with a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the center.
• Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of
disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any
other chemical-based liquid, because such substances might
irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature or
high humidity for a long period of time, because these might
warp or otherwise damage the disc.
No!
• Compact discs are not subjected to wear during play , but
damage to the disc surface when the disc is being handled
can adversely affect the disc’s play.

To play a 8-cm (3-inch) CD
Place it in the inner recessed area of the disc tray. Do not put a
normal (12-cm/5-inch) CD on top of a 8-cm CD.
