8. CHANgINg THE TImE DISPLAy (36, 37, & 38)/TImE bAR (39):

The time may be displayed in three different modes; Elapsed, Remain, and Total Remain. During normal play-
back, pressing the TIME BUTTON (9), will change the time display information (36, 37, & 38) in the LCD (2). The
following is a break down of the time settings and their definitions:
1) TOTAL REMAIN (34) - This details the time in the LCD (30, 29, & 28) as the current cds’ total remaining

time.

2) REMAIN (39) - This details the time in the LCD (36, 37, & 38) as the current tracks’ remaining running time.
3) ELAPSED - This details the time in the LCD (36, 37, & 38) as the current tracks’ elapsed running time.

Note: The LCD will not display "ELAPSED", and neither the REMAIN or TOTAL REMAIN indicators will

be displayed in the LCD.
TIME BAR INDICATOR - The time bar in the LCD (2) visually details the time defined in the TIME METER (36,
37, & 38). This bar is also dependent on the selected time function REMAIN (35) or TOTAL REMAIN (34).

This

bar will begin to flash when 15 seconds of a track remain and will begin to rapidly flash when three
seconds of a track remain. The flashing bar is a great visual reminder a track is about to end. The
flashing bar will function regardless of which time mode the unit is in.
