A- Loading Drawer - This is the mechanism for loading CDs
for play in the SFT-1. The drawer is opened by depressing the

the CD is loaded for play, by depressing the LOAD (C) o r
PLAY (D or T) buttons. Although the drawer will also close by
pushing gently on the drawer front, it is recommended that a
button control be exclusively used for this function.
B - Display Window - The display window gives the operating
status of the SFT-1. When a CD is loaded, the total number of
tracks and total time will be displayed. When the SFT-1 is put
in play mode, the track being read is displayed with an arrow
indicating play and is followed by the time of the individual
track. Also displayed are: NO DISC, when power is on and

close the LOADING DRAWER (A). It will also clear any set
functions such as programming, repeat or shuffle from memory.
D- Play Button - When depressed, this button will put the trans-
port in play mode. During play mode, the CD is being read
and a digital datastream is being transmitted from the chosen
digital output (M through P).
E- Pause Button - When depressed, this button will stop the
transmission of the digital datastream at the precise moment it is
engaged, and will hold that position until play is resumed by
depressing the PAUSE (E or U) button again.
F - Stop Button - When depressed, this button will stop all func-
tions, taking the CD out of play mode and aligning the trans-

the STOP button when the CD is not in play mode will clear
programmed tracks from memory or clear other selected func-
tions such as SHUFFLE and REPEAT.
G - Search Reverse and Forward Buttons - When de-
pressed and held, these buttons allow a 10 second audible
fast forward or reverse search of a track in play mode. After
the 10 second audible search, the SFT-1 will mute and pro-
ceed in a faster search. The time positioning and the track are
shown in the DISPLAY WINDOW (B).
H - Skip Reverse and Forward Buttons - When depress-
ed, these buttons will position the laser to read the start of the
track either before (skip reverse) or after (skip forward) the origi-
nal position of the laser. The transport may be in the play,
pause, or stop mode. Play will continue forward from this cho-
sen track.
I - Shuffle Button - When depressed before the PLAY button
(D or T), this button will randomize the order in which the tracks
are played.
J - Power Button - When depressed, this button will allow
power to the transport for full-function control, or it will turn off
the SFT-1 when the transport is no longer in use. The MAIN
POWER SWITCH (K), located on the rear of the SFT-1, must
be in the “on” position for this button to work.
