9. RANDOM
Engaging the Random Play mode will play all the tracks once on
the CD in a random order. From Stop, press first the RANDOM and
then the PLAY/PAUSE button to engage Random Play mode. During
normal playback the Random Play mode can also be engaged by
pressing the RANDOM button. The current track will stop playing
and the first randomly selected track will commence.
The Random Play mode can be used in combination with the
Repeat Play All mode but not with Program Play mode. When the
C521 is in Random mode “RANDOM” will be shown in the Display
Panel. Press the RANDOM button again to cancel Random Play
mode and return to normal Play mode. Random Play mode can
also be disengaged by pressing the STOP button twice. On the first
press of the STOP button, playback will stop, the second press will
disengage Random Play mode.
10. SCAN
The SCAN
button causes the optical pickup to scan backward
through the recording at high speed. This button works only while
the player is in PLAY or PAUSE. After a STOP command, or after
loading a new disc, you must press PLAY before the scan circuit
will work. If Scan is initiated while the player is in PAUSE the scan
is silent; if initiated during PLAY the music will be heard in
fragmentary form at reduced volume as the player scans through
it. For the first approximately 50 seconds of a track, scanning will
be at around 3 times the speed, after which scanning speed
increases to around 15 times faster than normal playing speed.
Use this “audible scan” to cue the player precisely to the spot
where you want to resume play. If you scan back to the beginning
of the disc while playing Track 1, the player automatically reverts
to normal playback.
The SCAN button causes the optical pickup to scan rapidly
forward through the music. The behaviour of this function is
similar to SCAN
. If you scan forward to the end of the disc
while playing the final track, the scan will stop and the Time
display will show the table of contents. (There is no “wrap-
around” mode.)
11. SKIP
During playback, press the SKIP
button once to skip back to
the beginning of the current track. Press SKIP twice in rapid
succession to skip back to the previous track or previous
programmed track in Program Play mode, once to reach the
beginning of the current track and again to jump to the previous
track. When pressing continuously, the player will skip to previous
tracks repeatedly, concluding at the beginning of the disc
(Track 1) or the first track programmed in Program Play mode.
During playback, press the SKIP once to skip to the beginning
of the next track on the disc or next programmed track in Program
Play mode. Thus, to sample each song, press PLAY and then tap
SKIP after you’ve heard a few seconds of each track. From Stop,
press the SKIP
button until you’ve reached the track from
where you want to start playback. Press Play to start playback.
REMOTE CONTROL
A wireless remote control is provided with your compact disc
player, enabling you to operate play-back functions from the
comfort of your chair or from virtually anywhere in the room. For
reliable operation there should be a clear line-of-sight path from
the remote control to the front of the CD player. If the player does
not respond to remote commands, it may be that this line-of-sight
path is obstructed by clothing, paper, or furnishings.
Most of the buttons on the remote control handset have the same
effect as the corresponding buttons on the front panel of the disc
player. In addition the handset is equipped with some extra
buttons and functions, such as the numeric keypad and Program
functions.
NUMERIC KEYPAD
Using the direct-entry numeric keypad (1 t0 10; +10) causes the
player to jump directly to the beginning of a numbered track and
commence play. Thus to play Track 5, simply press 5. To play
Track 20, press: +10, 10. To play Track 36, press: +10, +10,
+10, 6.
PROGRAM
The C521 CD player allows for programmed playback of up to 20
tracks in any desired order. To engage Program Play with your
desired track sequence in the memory:
1. Press PROGRAM. The “MEMORY” indicator will light up. The
display indicates “Pr p:01”, meaning that the player is awaiting
the first Program entry.
2. Use the SKIP or the Direct-Entry Numeric keypad buttons to
select the first track in your planned sequence. The selected
track number will blink in the display.
3. Press PROGRAM to store the selected track number in
memory. The display will revert to show Program-Entry mode
and advance to “Pr p:02”, showing that the player is ready for
your second entry.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to select and store other track numbers
in memory, up to a maximum of 20 entries. The display will
show “FULL” when 20 tracks have been entered.
5. If you want to review or edit your program entries, press
PROGRAM repeatedly to cycle the display through them. When
the highest program number is displayed, you can enter
additional tracks in the memory by repeating Steps 2 and 3.
6. To play the stored program, press PLAY.”PROGRAM” and
“MEMORY” will appear in the display, indicating that a stored
program is being played. During Program Play the SKIP
buttons will access only the tracks in the program list. So if you
want to play only a portion of a stored program, initiate play
and press SKIP
to jump over the programmed tracks that
you don’t want to hear.
7. To terminate program play, press STOP. However the stored
track list remains in memory; if you want to play the program
again, simply press PLAY again. If you want to edit the program,
press PROGRAM repeatedly to review the list and change. To
add tracks, press the PROGRAM button until the highest
program number is displayed.
8. To clear the program memory, press STOP twice, OPEN/CLOSE
to open the drawer, or switch off the POWER.
