8. Skip/scan
The SKIP/SCAN keys are used to select the
track, or section within a track, to be played.
A brief press of one of these keys invokes
the SKIP function. Pressing the key and
holding it down continuously invokes the
SCAN function.
While a disc is playing, pressing
SKIP/SCAN briefly will cause the player
to skip to the beginning of the next track. If
SKIP/SCAN is pressed once, the player
will skip to the beginning of the current track.
If SKIP/SCAN is pressed twice in quick
succession the player will skip to the
beginning of the previous track. Repeated
pressing of SKIP/SCAN or will make
the player skip forward or back over any
number of tracks. When playing the last
track of a disc, SKIP will “wrap around” to
track 1 (and similarly, SKIP from track 1
will skip to the last track). The SKIP keys
have the same function in PAUSE mode.
The SKIP function may also be used in
STOP mode to select a track number. The
selected track will play automatically shortly
after the last key press.
The SCAN function is used to select a
specific passage within a music track. While
a disc is playing, pressing SKIP/SCAN or
and holding it down continuously will
cause the laser to scan rapidly forward (or
backward) through the music. Snatches of
music will be heard through the
loudspeakers at a reduced volume level. If
the SKIP/SCAN key is held down longer the
player will scan faster, but there will be no
sound from the loudspeakers.
It is not possible to SCAN back before the
beginning of track 1, or SCAN forward after
the end of the last track. If the SCAN
function is used in PAUSE mode, the player
will scan normally, but without sound through
the loudspeakers – allowing silent cueing.
REMOTE CONTROL
HANDSET
OPERATION
The MSR2 handset supplied with the Z114
has been ergonomically designed to be easy
and comfortable to use. It will also control
Myryad’s Integrated Amplifiers,
Preamplifiers, Tuners and DVD Players.
See the separate MSR2 System Remote
User Manual for details of its use with these
products.
Important. In order to use the MSR2
handset to control your Z114 you must first
press the ‘CD’ input select button in the
middle of the handset to switch it to
‘CD/Amplifier’ mode. The handset will
remain in this mode until either the ‘DVD’ or
‘TUN’ key is pressed to change to DVD/Amp
or Tuner/Amp mode respectively.
The remote functions available in ‘CD mode’
are as follows.
Stop (g
gg
g) and Open/Close (▲)
These two keys operate exactly as the front
panel buttons with the same names.
Play ( )and Pause ( )
The handset has separate keys for PLAY
and PAUSE. Pressing PLAY from STOP
mode will cause the disc to start playing.
Subsequent pressing of PLAY during PLAY
mode will have no effect. If PAUSE is
pressed during PLAY mode, then the player
goes into PAUSE mode. Press PLAY to
return to PLAY mode.
Skip
The remote control SKIP keys carry
out exactly the same SKIP function as the
front panel keys, but they cannot perform the
SCAN function.
Scan
These keys allow direct access to the SCAN
function which can also be accomplished by
pressing and holding down one of the front
panel SKIP/SCAN keys.
SHUFFLE
When in STOP mode, press the SHUFFLE
key. The SHUFFLE icon will light at the
bottom of the display and the disc will start
to play in SHUFFLE mode – playing all the
tracks on the disc in random order. In
SHUFFLE mode, when any track ends, the
remaining unplayed tracks are “shuffled” and
a random new track selected. SHUFFLE
mode can also be entered direct from
normal PLAY mode – when pressing
SHUFFLE will cause the player to jump
immediately to a new, randomly selected,
track.
Pressing SKIP in SHUFFLE mode will
cause the player to shuffle and select the
next new track. Pressing SKIP in
SHUFFLE mode has no effect. SCAN or
in SHUFFLE mode function normally, but
SCAN cannot continue past the start of
the current track.
Pressing SHUFFLE again returns the player
to normal operation.
TIME
The TIME key controls what is shown in the
time (MIN and SEC) section of the display
when a disc is playing. During normal play
and in pause mode the display shows the
elapsed time of the track currently being
played (see Figure 3). If TIME is pressed
once, the remaining time of the current track
is displayed. If TIME is pressed again, the
remaining time of the whole disc is
displayed. When remaining time is
displayed, the time is preceded by a “−” sign.
A third press of the TIME key returns the
display to the normal indication of elapsed
track time.
Disc remaining time is not available in
SHUFFLE and PROGRAM modes.
REPEAT
A single press of the REPEAT key puts the
player into REPEAT 1 mode and the
“REPEAT 1” icon will be illuminated at the
bottom of the display. The currently playing
track will play to the end and then be
repeated - ad infinitum.
When the REPEAT key is pressed a second
time, REPEAT ALL mode is engaged and
the “REPEAT” icon will be illuminated at the
bottom of the display. When the disc has
played to the end it will immediately return to
the first track and start playing again - ad
infinitum.
A third press of the REPEAT key returns the
player to normal operation.
Track number keys (0-9)
Direct access to any track is possible using
the numbered keys on the remote handset.
To play a specific track (e.g. track 26) press
the track number keys “2” then “6”. After the
second key is pressed the player will play
track 26. If only one key (e.g. key “2”) is
pressed, the player will pause briefly before
playing track 2. Track number keys are
ignored during Program play and Shuffle
play.
DIM (Calendar and Display Off)
The DIM key may be used to activate the
track calendar or to switch the display off
while a disc is playing. The first press of the
DIM key will switch on the track calendar at
the right hand side of the display. The track
calendar displays the number of the current
track and all the other tracks that have not
yet been played – up to a maximum of 15.
It can be particularly useful when
programming, when it indicates only the
numbers of the tracks already programmed.
A second press of the DIM key will switch
the player into Display Off mode and turn the
display off. A third press will turn the display
on again. When the display is switched off,
operation of any of the player’s controls - on
the front panel or remote control - will cause
the display to switch on for about 2 seconds,
before it switches off again.
If there is no disc playing (i.e. disc in STOP
or PAUSE mode or no disc) the second
press of the DIM key will not blank the
display but it will still switch the player into
Display Off mode – indicated briefly by
“OFF” in the display. In this mode, when a
disc is played the display will switch off after
about 2 seconds. The Display Off mode can
be cancelled at any time by pressing the
DIM key again. If in STOP or PAUSE mode
display will then briefly read “ON” to indicate
the return to normal operation.
