OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure that the VOLTAGE SELECTOR SLIDE (22) switch, found on
the rear panel, is set for the proper voltage. Plug the unit in and press
the POWER SWITCH (20). The unit will turn on. Pushing the POWER
(20) switch a second time will turn the unit off.
2. Press the OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON (7), place a CD in the DISC TRAY

into the unit.

CUE INSTRUCTIONS
To start the play at a point other than the beginning of a track, follow these
instructions.
1. To memorize the spot at which you want play to start, select the proper
track, and then push the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (16) so the unit goes
into the play mode (play/pause LED will glow green). Listen to the CD
and when the CD gets to the approximate spot, push PLAY/PAUSE
BUTTON (16) so the unit goes into the pause mode (play/pause LED will
blink green). Move the SEARCH JOG WHEEL (9) to the precise spot
you want play to begin and push the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (16) to
memorize the cue point. Press the CUE BUTTON (15) to return to the
memorized cue point. Push the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (16), and the
unit will instantly play from the spot selected.
2. To fine tune the memorized cue point, push the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON
(16) so the unit goes into the play mode (play/pause LED glows green)
and listen carefully to the starting point. Push the CUE BUTTON (15) and
the unit will enter the pause mode (play/pause LED blinks green) and the
CD will return to the previously memorized cue point. If you decide that
this point is okay, leave the unit alone until you are ready to play it. At
that time push the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (16). The unit will instantly
play from the spot selected. If the selected spot is not where you want it,
with the unit in the play mode, simply push the CUE BUTTON (15). The
unit will go back to the previously selected spot, and enter the pause
mode. By moving the SEARCH JOG WHEEL (9) you can hear and move
the cue point forward or backward. After you have located the spot, push
the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (16) to memorize the new cue point. Press
the CUE BUTTON (15) to pause play at the new memorized cue point.
ROBO START INSTRUCTIONS
IN SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE:
Use ROBO START in SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE to alternate play between
the two sides of the CD player (one track from one side, then one track from
the other side). In SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE play starts immediately from
the start of music without any blank space (which exists at the beginning of
every track). ROBO START causes one side of the CD player to play, while
the other side is paused.
1. Engage SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE with the SINGLE-AUTO CUE/
CONTINUOUS (3) button.
2. Press the ROBO START (1) button to activate ROBO START (the button
will blink). Play will alternate between the two sides of the CD player. At
the end of the track, the playing side will pause, and the other side will
play. At the end of this track, the playing side will pause, and the other
: Pushing the PITCH BEND BUTTONS (18)
side will play. The CD player will continue to alternate between the two
sides until you stop it (after the last track of the CD, it goes back to the
first track).
NOTE: Pausing the playing side in the middle of a track will cause the
other side to play. When that track ends, play will begin from the
middle of the track where play was paused.
IN CONTINUOUS MODE OR DURING NORMAL PLAY:
If you use ROBO START without SINGLE-AUTO CUE MODE (in CONTINU-
OUS MODE or during normal play), play will not alternate automatically.
Pressing pause on the playing side will cause the other side to play.
1. During normal play, set a cue point on the other side of the CD player.
2. Press the ROBO START (1) button to activate ROBO START (the button
will blink).
3. Press PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (16) on the playing side to begin play from
the cue point on the other side.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
• If the disk will not play, check to see if the disc was loaded correctly
(label side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt, scratches, etc.
• If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connections. If
they are okay, check your amplifier or receiver.
• If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not assume that
the CD player is defective. Many CDs are recorded out of spec and will
skip on most or all CD players. Before sending the unit in for repair, try
playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.
