CD-305
The Fully Programmable, Great-Sounding,
Industrial Grade 5 Disc CD Player
The TASCAM CD-305 is the ideal digital compact disc sys-
tem for any environment where long playback duration is a
requirement. With a rotating carousel that accommodates
five CDs, itÕs quick to set up, easy to program and offers
premium quality digital sound at a highly competitive price.
For commercial sound installations such as a restaurant,
hotel or office complex, the 3-U CD-305 can be easily
integrated into any standard 19" control room equipment
rack, providing easy access to all operational aspects of
the player without taking much room in these cramped
quarters. With its XLR balanced or RCA unbalanced
analog outputs and coaxial S/PDIF digital output, the
CD-305 interfaces with both analog and digital professional
audio equipment and provides a convenient means of
delivering long format audio playback.
Pure, Clean CD Sound Quality
The CD-305 features an advanced 4X oversampling 16-bit dual
D/A converter system for great sounding stereo playback of any
commercial compact disc. Audio fidelity is outstanding, faithfully
reproducing tones as low as 20Hz and as high as 20kHz. With its
3-beam laser tracking system and CIRC error protection circuitry,
you can be certain that the sound youÕre hearing is always a near
exact reproduction of the original performance.
Versatile and Intuitive Operation With Easy
Programmability
The CD-305 is a pleasure to operate and the easy-to-read
fluorescent display provides all the visual feedback you expect.
After plug-in and speaker connection, press the OPEN/CLOSE
door, and place your five CDs onto the tray. Press the
OPEN/CLOSE door again and youÕre ready to go. With its
Programmable Sequence Playback, Shuffle Play (random
playback of discs) and Repeat Play capabilities, you remain
firmly in control over the program material you feed to your
listeners. Should you wish to bypass playback of a particular
disc, the DISC SKIP button makes this an effortless task. You
can even exchange a disc while another is playing Ñ giving you
the ability to have non-stop playback throughout business hours!
Front Panel Access or Remote Control
The CD-305Õs front panel is as easy to use as a tape recorder.
PLAY, STOP, PAUSE and Search keys are all self-explanatory.
With the DISC SKIP button, you have the ability to bypass any
one of the 5 discs currently in the unit. YouÕll feel so comfortable
operating the CD-305 that you may never even need to open the
OwnerÕs Manual.
Included as part of the CD-305 system package, youÕll find the
convenient RC-305A wireless remote control. This 30 function
infrared remote includes a 10 key pad for easy access to individual
tracks and enables you to have complete access to the
CD-305 from up to 10 feet away.

Create Custom Playlists of Up To 32 Tracks
With Ease
One of the best features of the compact disc medium is program-
mability. Never again will you have to settle for the music order
as originally programmed on the disc. With Programmable
Sequence Playback, you can place up to 32 track selections
from all five discs into the CD-305Õs memory. Using the unitÕs
Shuffle Play feature, you can have the CD-305 play the five discs
in complete random order. With the Repeat Play capability, you
can repeat playback of all five discs, one particular disc, or an
individual track.
If during the course of programming the CD-305Õs playback
order, you make a mistake or change your mind, you can easily
clear the memory and start over, or you can check the order to
inspect your work thus far. The CD-305 makes it easy to create
custom playlists!

tions Ñ no matter where the job may take you. On the rear
panel, youÕll find an external switch that enables you to configure
the CD-305 for either 120V or 230V power sources. Its robust
transport mechanism, solid construction, programming flexibility
and superior sound make the CD-305 the best choice for sound
contractors and their clientÕs unique musical needs. And since it
carries the TASCAM name, you can be sure that your investment
will deliver great sound and dependable service for years to
come.
