OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EX-
POSU RE.
THE COMPACT DISC PLAYER SHOULD NOT BE ADJUSTED OR REPAIRED BY ANYONE
EXCEPT PROPERLY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
* Because of the player's extremely low noise and wide dynamic range, there might be atendency to
turn the volume on the amplifier unnecessarily high. Doing so may produce an excessively large output
from the amplifier which could damage your speakers.
* Do not obstruct the air hores or place the player on an amplifier or anything that may give off heat.
* Sudden changes in the surrounding temperature can cause dew to form on the optical lens inside. In
this condition the laser cannot pick up the signal and the unit will not operate properly. If this should
happen, do not use the player until it has adjusted to the surrounding temperature.
* Do not use volatile chemicals on this unit (insecticides, etc.). Clean by lightly wiping with asoft cloth.
*If trouble occurs ............

FEATURES
This pre_rmance Compact Disc Player reproduces adigital audio signal from a 4-3/4" (12-cm) disc by
means of a semiconductor laser pickup. This system can reproduce sound without noise or crosstalk and
with the same full dynamic range and feel of a live performance. Unlike conventional analog systems, this
digital system uses a pickup that scans the disc surface without coming into contact with it, thus giving
you unsurpassed operability that lets you listen to those selections that you want to hear quickly and
easily.
*Discs last almost forever thanks to the laser beam that picks up the signal so that nothing comes into
contact with the disc surface.
*Outstanding playback characteristics
Afrequency response of 5 - 20,000 Hz
Adynamic range of 90 dB or better
0.003% distortion
Wow and flutter that isvirtually undetectable
90 dB channel separation
This system surpassesall performance limits of conventional analog-system discs and players.
* Quick and easy selection search and programming thanks to the microcomputer.
* A variety of functions
Fast automatic selection search
Up to 16-selection program play (memory) - Listen to your favorite selections in any order.

PROGRAM PLAY
WHAT IS PROGRAM PLAY?
Suppose you have a disc with 10 selections on it. Programmed play allows you to arrange any of the
selections you want to listen to in the order you want to listen to them.
Example (Fig. 7):
In this example of programmed play, seven of the ten selections are included, and selection 1(TRACK
NO. 1) is in three positions to show you that any selection can be put in a program a number of times,
There are 16 positions available for programming, so programmed play with selections in 16 positions
is possible. Will not program more than 16 positions.
Before programmed play can begin, it is necessary to program the order of the selections in the player's
microcomputer.

PROGRAMMING
1. Set the unit to the stop mode (or immediately after the disc is inserted). Preparation for programming
(program input mode) iscomplete.
2. First, decide the type of programmed play you want. The procedure for the programmed play shown
in the example (Fig. 7) above is asfollows.
3. To put TRACK NO. 3 in the first order of play, press the PROGRAM button 3 times. The TRACK
NO. 3 indicator isflashing.
4. To store this information, press the MEMORY button. The TRACK NO. 3 indicator illuminates
continuously and programming will move to the second order.
5. Insert TRACK NO. 1in the second order by pressing the PROGRAM button until the TRACK NO. 1
indicator is flashing. (Indication of the indicators moves only upward.)
6. Store this information by pressing the MEMORY button. The TRACK NO. 1indicator illuminates
continuously and programming will move to the third order.
7. Program the remaining selections available on the disc in the same way. When programming is com-
pleted, the unit will be in a wait condition. Press PLAY button.
(This completes programming.)
If the disc has more than 16 selections, it can be programmed but program indicators will stop at 16
tracks. The track number indicators will not move, even when the PROGRAM button is pressed.
Do not program a selection that is not included in the actual disc.

HOW TO CORRECT AN INCORRECT PROGRAM
Press the CLEAR button. The CLEAR button is effective only when immediately after the MEMORY
button is pressed.
Example:
In case that TRACK NO. 2 is programmed instead of TRACK NO. 3 with the player in the condition
described in items 3 and 4 of PROGRAMMING section above, the procedure for correction is as follows.
1. Press the CLEAR button immediately after the MEMORY button is pressed (item 4). This clears
TRACK NO. 2 which was stored and the TRACK NO. 2 indicator will be changed from illuminating
to flashing.
2. To store TRACK NO. 3, press the PROGRAM button once. The TRACK NO. 2 indicator goes out
and the TRACK NO. 3 is flashing.
3. Pressthe MEMORY button.
When an incorrect program is found after programming has been completed, correction of program is
impossible by the CLEAR button. In this case you must program the selections again.
IN ORDER TO CANCEL (CLEAR) AN ENTIRE PROGRAM
Pressthe STOP or OPEN/CLOSE button.
BEGINNING PROGRAM PLAY
After programming has been completed (The programmed track number indicators are illuminated.),
press the PLAY button. Play will begin from the TRACK NO. 3 selection of the first order of play as
previously programmed.
The track number indicator is flashing at high speed during searching the selection and the indicator is
flashing at low speed during program playing. (Whenever the programmed selection has played, the track
number indicator will go out unless the repeat function has been selected.)
When the last programmed selection has played, the player will go to stop unless the repeat function has
been selected.
After programming has been completed, do not press the PAUSE, SEARCH, STOP or OPEN/CLOSE
buttons before the PLAY has been selected or the entire program will be cancelled.
OPERATION DURING PROGRAMMED PLAY
* The FWD side of SEARCH button advances the player to the beginning of the next selection accord-
ing to the programmed order and then to the end of the program.
During repeated play of the program, the FWD button will advance to the next selection and then to
the end of the program, continueing to press the FWD button will advance to the start of the program.
*The REV side of SEARCH button reverses the player only to the beginning of the selection being
played. But, during repeated play of programmed selections, the button reverses the player to the
beginning of the previous selection according to the programmed order.
*The REPEAT button repeats programmed play in programmed order.
*The PAUSE button operates as in normal play.
Note:
When the unit is turned off, the entire program iscancelled.
