CAUTIONS
Your blak CD Player is set to operate from a fixed supply voltage which is marked on a label
next to the mains input plug. Before connecting the mains lead please check that your mains
supply corresponds to this label as below:
230V Products: Voltage Range: 220V – 240V
115V Products: Voltage Range: 110V – 120V
100V Products: Voltage Range: 90V – 110V
The mains lead supplied with this product has an IEC mains socket which plugs into the IEC
connector on the unit’s rear panel. The other end is normally attached to the appropriate
mains plug for your country. In the UK this is the standard UK13A plug.
This plug should usually not be removed from the lead. If you do remove it, please dispose
of it safely so that it cannot be plugged into a mains socket whilst in a potentially dangerous
condition. We suggest that you obtain a complete replacement lead from your dealer.
Should you move to another country where either the mains voltage or the mains plugs are
different from those as supplied with your CD Player, please contact the appointed Roksan
distributor for assistance.
Please observe correct mains polarity at all times.
The CD Player mains fuses are located on the rear panel next to the IEC mains connector.
They must only be replaced by the fuse of the type and rating as described on the fuse rating
label on the rear panel of the unit.
This product requires connection to earth (ground). The earth wire (in the UK this is colour
coded green/yellow) of the mains cable supplied with your CD Player must be connected to
a suitable earthing point established for this purpose by your electricity supply company. If
you are in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
If the equipment is likely to be unattended for a longer period of time, please unplug it from
the mains supply.

OPERATION
The mains power switch (10) is located on the front underside of the CD Player. This switch
can be left ON for normal operation. If unattended for a long period (going on a short break,
holidays etc.) the mains power should be switched OFF and the power cord disconnected
from the mains power input.
SWITCHING ON
Press the Open/Close Button (9) once to open the disc loading tray. Carefully load disc into
the tray recess with the label side up. Press the button again to close the tray.
NOTE: Never load a disc until the drawer has opened fully, or try to close the drawer until you
are sure that the disc is properly seated in the holder recess. Warped discs should never be
played.
The drawer should only be opened using the front panel control. Under no circumstances
should you attempt to open manually.
If a disc is not inserted or if the disc is damaged or inserted upside down, the CD Player will
remain inoperative (display will indicate: no disc).
When a disc has been loaded, your blak CD Player will briefly spin the disc while it studies
the data encoded on it. The disc will then stop and the display will indicate the number of
tracks on the disc and the total play time.
To commence playing a disc, press Play/Pause Button (7) once. The disc will play from the
beginning.
Press the Play/Pause Button (3) a second time to pause the disc whilst it is playing. Pressing
the button again will resume playback from the point at which Pause mode was entered. In
Pause mode, the disc continues spinning and the laser will still be operational but locked.
Please try not to keep the CD Player in Pause mode no longer than strictly necessary.
