3.3 Loading

To play a compact disc, slide back the top-loading CD door. Remove the CD puck and place the compact disc in the

large circular recess in the well, with its transparent playing surface facing down. The label side of the compact disc

MUST face UP.

Replace the CD puck in the centre and close the lid. Make sure the CD puck is correctly centred and positively

engaged.

Close the CD door so that the CD-77 is able to scan the compact disc’s TOC (Table of Contents) and display the

total number of tracks and playing time.

Upon closing the door, press the PLAYbutton on the front panel (F3) of the CD-77 or the PLAY/PAUSE button

(RC8) on the RC-77 remote control.

NOTE: The CD-77 has been designed to play all types of compact discs including the CD layer of hybrid SACDs.

However, as such discs are thicker, please ensure the CD puck is positively engaged with the spindle. We do not

recommend the placement of any type of ‘damping disc’ on top of a compact disc.

3.4 Display

The display provides information about playback status and the optical pickup’s location on the compact disc.

3.5 Play/Pause

During playback, at anytime, pressing PLAY/PAUSE again, on either the front panel (F3) or the RC-77 (RC8),

playback will be paused. To resume playback, press PLAY/PAUSE once more.

Always use the CD
