l.INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the new sound experience of Compact Disc digital
audio.
The Compact Disc player
This Compact Disc player not only offers excellent sound quality,
ease of use and fast access to any point on a disc, but also a
number of unique features.
- lt provides two ditferent audio outputs. One gives 'pure' analog
sound, the other gives a 'warmer' analog output as a result of
extra filtering; you can use whichever you prefer.
- Favorite Track Selection (FTS) allows you to program your
favorite pieces of music for any disc and choose this selection
each time you play that disc. For an average of say 5 tracks per
disc, your player can store selections for 150 different discs!
- lf you wish, when making recordings of your Compact Discs,
the player can automatically insert 4-second pauses between
tracks. This is useful if your cassette player has a track-seeking
function.
- Future uses (in digital signal processing, CD-ROM, etc.) are
also designed into this player.
The Compact Disc
- Each separate piece of music on a disc is called a TRACK.
Some new discs, mostly classical music, also have INDEX
numbers which show divisions within tracks. The track and index
numbers for a disc are listed on the card in the disc holder,
together with the titles.
- All Compact Discs are made so that they contain track, index
and time information as well as the music. The player can display
all this information so you can immediately see which track is
being played and either the elapsed time for that track or the
remaining time on the whole disc.
This instruction book explains how to install and use your new
Compact Disc player. Read carefully and yori will soon get used
to the player and all its possibilities.

5E Favorite Track Selection (FTS)
To make a program of selected tracks permanent, so that you can
use it each time you play a particular disc, you can store it in FTS
memory.
The player has enough FTS memory for an absolute maximum of
226 discs. However, the number of FTS programs that can be
stored depends on the number of memory blocks taken up. For
example, if you store 5 tracks per disc, programs for 150 different
discs may be stored.
You can recall an FTS program for a disc, whenever you want to
play your previously programmed selection. However, you need
not use the FTS program each time you play a disc; you can also
set up a temporary program as in Section 5D Only one program,
with a maximum of 20 memory blocks, is allowed per disc.
lf you try storing two (or more) FTS programs for a disc, the earlier
one is deleted and the most recent one will be used. The new
program is given a new FTS higher program number.
Nofe.'When using FTS, the FTS button @ is used in conjunction
with other buttons. Do not allow more than 5 seconds to elapse
between pressing combinations of buttons, otherwise the player
assumes you have changed your mind. lf this happens, 'FTS'
stops flashing. Press FTS button again to restart the command.

A/ofe; Every time you press the STORE button, you use up one
more program memory location, which is incremented (one at a
time) in an ascending order. There are only 254 locations. So, after
all of them are used the only choice available is to erase all the
program memory locations and start over.
'FTS' Stops flashing.
The display indicates the FTS program number of this specific
program for a few moments.
The program is stored in FTS memory under this program number
and can be recalled whenever you insert this specific disc.
lf 'ERROB' appears on the display:
The FTS memory is full; however, the program number is still lower than
254. You must erase some old FTS programs if you wish to store this
program.

o Press FTS button @.
'FTS'flashes on the display.
o Press PLAY/BEPLAY button @.
The FTS program is recalled and played automatlcally.
lf 'ERBOR' appears on the display:

5F Other possibilities
PLAY MODE switch @
This switch can be set to one of four positions:
-'NORM. PLAY': for normal use - each track is played one after
the other.
- 'SINGLE PLAY': play stops after the current track has finished,
unless the player is in the REPEAT mode. ln this case the current
track will be played over and over.
- 'COPY PAUSE': a 4-second pause is inserted after each track
before playing the next one.
-'AUTO PAUSE': stops play at the end of a track until you press
PAUSE.
Becording from your Compact Disc player
You can of course make recordings on a cassette recorder (or
other tape recorder) from your Compact Disc player. You can
either connect the recorder directly to the Compact Disc player
or via your Hi-Fi system.
When recording, you may find it useful to set PLAY MODE switch
@ to 'COPY PAUSE' or'AUTO PAUSE'.
-'COPY PAUSE' is useful if your cassette recorder has a
track-seeking function where the gaps between tracks are
detected.
-'AUTO PAUSE' enables you to determine the gaps between
tracks yourself. At a later stage, you can record material from
another source in this gap.
6. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
6A Using the remote control transmitter
When the player is switched on and the disc is in place, all the
functions of the player, except FTS, can also be operated using
the remote control transmitter. However, to switch off or to
remove the disc, it is necessary to use the controls on the player.
The transmiiter works up to a distance of about 26 ft. A green
indicator to the right of the display lights when the infra-red beam
is received by the player.
Although the player can receive the infra-red beam also via
reflection, it is recommended to aim the transmitter directly at the
REMOTE sensor @, because the infra-red beam output de-
creases as the battery strenght decreases.
68 Replacing batteries in the remote control transmitter
The remote control transmitter runs on four AAA 1.5Volt
batteries. The life of a set of batteries is normally about one year.
Remove the batteries as soon as they are depleted or if you are
not going to use the transmiiter for a long period of time, to
prevent damage by possible battery leakage.
o Lift back the cover on the rear of the transmitter.
o Bemove the old batterles.
o lnsert the new batteries, as indicated in the battery com-
partment.
a Close the cover again.
6C Listening with headphones
With headphones connected to the PHONES socket @, you can
listen to discs without having to use an amplifier.
The headphones must have a @" (6.3 mm) jack plug and an
impedance between 8 and 1000 ohms.
You adjust the sound level with the VOLUME control @.
6D Optional remote receiver
The optional remote receiver EM 2100 (available as an accessory)
may be connected to the BEMOTE socket @ when, for example,
the Compact Disc player is placed in a remote location (e.9. a
shelf with doors).
6E Maintenance
Discs
Although Compact Discs are covered with a protective layer, it is
still advisable to treat them carefully.
As long as you always pick up discs by the edge, and put them
back in their holders immediately after use, cleaning will not
normally be necessary
However, should fingerprints, dust or dirt appear, you can wipe
them off with a soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight line
from center to edge.
Never use detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or cleaning agents
used for conventional records!

8. BEFORE CALLING THE REPAIRMAN
lf you suspect that your player is faulty, first consult this checklist.
You may find you have overlooked something quite simple.
Under no circumstances should you open up the player; this will
invalidate the warranty.
1. After pressing the ON/OFF button, the display does not
light.
-The button is not pressed in far enough.
- One of the plugs of the power cord is not connected or is not
making contact
-There is no power at the electrical outlet Plug in another
electrical appliance and check that it works.
2. Alter pressing OPEN/CLOSE, the disc-tray does not slide
out.
-The transit screws have not been removed.
-The player is not switched on. Check if the display is lit.
-The microprocessor has not received the command properly.
Check if the disc-tray opens if you switch the player off and on
again, and then press OPEN/CLOSE once more.
-The disc-tray drive is not functioning. You cannot rectify this
yoursell.
3. Alter pressing OPEN/CLOSE, PLAY/REPLAY or SCAN, the
disc-tray does not slide in.
- The AC supply has been interrupted. Check if the display is lit
-The microprocessor has not received the command correctly.
Check if the disc-tray closes if you switch the player off and on
agarn.
-The disc-tray drive is not functioning. You cannot rectify this
yourself. lf a disc is in position, remove it, then push the disc-tray
in carefully to close it.
4. After closing the disc-tray, 'DISC' and 'ERROR' light briefly.
-The disc is not inserted with the label upwards or there is no
disc in the disc-tray.
- The disc is dirty. See if cleaning the disc, or using another, clean
disc, clears the fault.
-The disc is defective. Try another disc.
-There is an unwanted object in the disc-tray, e.g a piece of
paper or a remnant of packaging.
-The transit screws have not been removed
5. The disc is being played (indicated by the track number or
the elapsed time indication moving on regularly) but there is
no sound.
-The amplifier is not switched on.
-The position of the amplifier source selector switch does not
correspond with the input to which the player is connected.
-The amplifier or the speakers connected to it are not working.
Check with another sound source to see if this is the case.
-The microprocessor has not received the command correctly.
Check if switching the player off and on again, and then restarting
clears the fault.
- The connection between the player and the amplifier is broken.
-The jacks to which the player is connected are defective.
Check this by connecting the player to another input.
6. The sound is poor or distorted, or you can hear only one
channel.
- The player is not connected to the CD, AUX, TUNEB oTTAPE lN
jacks of the amplifier but to the PHONO jacks.
- One of the jacks of the connection cord is either not connected
or not properly connected.
- The disc is dirty or badly scratched. See if cleaning the disc or
using another, clean or scratch-free disc improves the situation.
-There is an unwanted object in the disc-tray, e.g.a piece of
paper or a remnant of packaging.
-The amplifier or the speakers connected to it are not working
properly. Check with another sound source to see if this is the
case.
-The transit screws have not been removed.
7. Programming is not working.
-The disc is dirty or badly scratched. See if cleaning the disc
helps or try programming another disc
-The microprocessor has not processed the commands
properly. Erase the program by pressing STOP and store it again;
restart play and check if the fault has cleared.
-All 20 memory blocks are already occupied and you have
missed'EBROB' which indicates this.
- FTS memory is full.
-The transit screws have not been removed.
8. Playback does not begin with the lirst track on the disc or
of the program, but with another.
-The microprocessor has not processed the command cor-
rectly. Check if switching the player off and on again, and then
restarting clears the fault.
- The disc is dirty or badly scratched. See if cleaning the disc or
using another, clean or scratch-free disc clears the fault.
-The disc is defective Try another disc.
-There is an unwanted object in the disc-tray, e.g.a piece of
paper or a remnant of packaging.
