BASIC OPERATION
LOADING AND PLAYING COMPACT
DISCS
To load a disc, press the OPEN/CLOSE button
to open the transport drawer.
When the drawer is fully extended, insert the
disc with the label facing upwards and then press
either the OPEN/CLOSE or PLAY/PAUSE
button to close the transport drawer again.
If OPEN/CLOSE has been pressed, the disc
drawer closes and the CD player scans the
contents of the disc. After a short delay, the
display window then shows the total number of
tracks available on the CD, and total playing
time.
In the following example there are 7 tracks,
lasting a total of 41 minutes 2 seconds :
If mains power to the A3.5 CD player is
switched on with a disc already loaded, it will
automatically search for the disc.
The display then indicates STOP, and shows the
number of tracks available on the CD and total
playing time, as in the above example.
DISC PLAY
If PLAY/PAUSE is pressed, the CD player will
begin playing from track 1, confirmed by the
word PLAY appearing on the left of the display,
with 1 in the centre and elapsed time on the
right.
When all tracks on the CD have been played, the
display shows STOP and total number of tracks
on the disc.
PAUSE
Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button on the
front panel whilst a disc is playing pauses
playback of the disc. PAUSE appears in the
display window instead of PLAY. The disc
will continue spinning, but the track does not
advance and the A3.5 CD's output is muted.
Pressing PLAY/PAUSE again resumes
playback from the same place.
PAUSE (Remote control)
On the remote control, PLAY and PAUSE
buttons have separate functions at each end of
the same button. Pressing PLAY will only
control disc play, and pressing PAUSE will
not resume play. Note that if the disc is
already playing, pressing the PLAY button
reverts play to the beginning of the current
track.
STOP
Playback can be stopped at any time by
pressing the STOP button once. On the
remote control, press either end of the button,
not the middle part.
Pressing the STOP button a second time
opens the transport drawer.
If a disc is loaded but not playing, pressing
STOP once will also eject the drawer.
