3 PREV/REW BUTTON

Pressing this button momentarily will return you to the beginning of the

current track. Pressing it repeatedly will move you backward through the

available tracks, one at a time. Pressing and holding this button will instead

perform a reduced-volume reverse scan of the music, reminiscent of the

audible rewind function found on many cassette decks. This scanning mode

allows you to quickly find a particular point within a track.

4 PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON

Press this button in order to

play a disc. If a programmed sequence of

tracks exists for that particular disc, the program will be played from its be-

ginning. Also, as you might expect, you may press the play button immedi-

ately after placing a disc in the CDD’s drawer; the drawer will close and the

CDD will enter the play mode as soon as it has read the disc’s table of con-

tents.

Pressing this button during play will pause the CDD at that point within

the track; the time display will blink slowly as a reminder that you are in

the pause mode.

the extended pause mode After about two minutes in pause, the CDD will go automatically into an

“extended pause” mode that stops the disc and turns off the laser against

the possibility that you have been called away and may not return for some

time. The extended pause mode is indicated by the display blinking more

slowly than in normal pause. You may force the CDD to enter extended

pause by pressing and holding the play/pause button for about five sec-

onds.

In effect, extended pause is much like stop, with the exception that press-

ing play will return you to the point on the disc where you had left off lis-

tening, after only a momentary hesitation to spin the disc back up to speed

and scan to the appropriate point.

5 NEXT/F.FWD BUTTON

Pressing this button momentarily will advance the CDD to the beginning of

the next track. Pressing and holding this button will instead perform a re-

duced-volume fast forward scan of the music, reminiscent of the audible

fast forward function found on many cassette decks. This scanning mode

allows you to quickly find a particular point within a track.

6 INFRARED TRANSCEIVER (WITHIN DISPLAY)

Infrared commands transmitted from the remote control are received by a

receiver behind this section of the display. Remote control of the CDD may

be unreliable if there is not a clear line of sight between the remote control

and the receiver (if the remote is far off-axis, or if the CDD is within a cabi-

net, for example). In such a case consider using a third-party IR repeater to

route the signal to the IR input jack on the rear panel (see Rear Panel,

CDD, below).

In addition to receiving IR commands, the CDD has the ability to teach a

learning remote control its own commands from an IR transmitter located

in this same area. (See Using Learning Remote Controls for more informa-

tion.)
