executed;
the
flashing
TRACK Display LED will go out.
If you accidentally go past the required track, hold
down
the SELECT button until the TRACK Dis-
play LED runs right through and returns to track 1,
then run forward to the track required.
Repeating the Disc (REPEAT)
. If you want to hear the whole disc again, press the
REPEAT button before play ends. The REPEAT
LED will light, and the disc will play continuously
until you either press the REPEAT button again, or
press the STOP key. In the first case the disc will
play on to the end before stopping. In the second
case play will stop at once. The REPEAT LED will go
out.
During repeat the PROGR Display LEDs
remain
alight and only the TRACK Display LED indicates
the progress of play.
To repeat a specific track, use the GO-TO mode.
Press the SELECT button until the flashing TRACK
Display LED is once more under the required track
number, and then press the PLAY key again.
Finding a Particular Passage
(REV SEARCH and FWD SEARCH)
During play, you can quickly locate a particular
music
passage
in a track with the REV
and
FWD keys.
If you hold the REV key down, the laser pick-up runs
back
towards
the
beginning;
if you
hold
the
FWD key down, the laser pick-up runs towards the
end. When you release the key, play restarts at
once. By pressing the keys alternately, you can find
any part of any passage.
If, by pressing the FWD key, you take the laser
pick-up
into the run-out
of the last track, the
ERROR LED will flash and the disc will stop. The
same thing will happen if, by pressing the REV key,
you take the laser pick-up beyond the run-in of the
first track. In either case, you can restart the disc by
pressing the PLAY key.
It is possible to use the REV and FWD keys to run
to any point on the disc. Depending on the position
of the laser pick-up, however, this can take quite a
long time. It is quicker first to use the GO-TO mode
to find the required track first, and only then to use
the REV and FWD keys.
Interrupting Play (PAUSE)
For short play interruptions, you can press the
PAUSE key. The disc carries on spinning, but the
sound stops, and the PAUSE LED lights.
if you press the PAUSE key again, or the PLAY key,
the sound restarts at the exact point where it was
interrupted. The PAUSE LED goes out.
Stopping Play (STOP)
To stop play before the end of the disc, you press
the STOP key. The disc stops, and all the LEDs in
the PROGR Display relight, while the TRACK Dis-
play LED goes out.
PROGRAMMING
Instead of playing a complete disc, you can choose
any number of tracks, and play only these. You can
even decide on the playing sequence. You do this
by programming your choice into the microproces-
sor memory.
The memory will accept a maximum of 15 entries.
Individual tracks can be programmed to play more
than once, as long as the maximum of 15 memory
positions is not exceeded.
Programming is easiest when the disc is stationary
and the title list contained in the disc holder is used.
The titles and tracks on the disc label itself are often
impossible to read through the disc compartment
window. It is also possible to programme a disc in
play, but this can interrupt the smoothness of the
playback.
For this reason,
programming
of a
stationary disc is to be preferred.
Depending on the kind of programme you want,
there are two methods of programming the player:
the 'Add-in' method and the 'Take-out' method.
With 'Add-in' programming, you put the tracks that
you want to hear into the memory. This is the
method to use for programming only a few tracks
from a disc, for programming the same track, or
tracks, to play more than once, or for changing the
playing sequence; the sequence of play is entirely
yours to decide.
With 'Take-out' programming, you erase the tracks
that you do not want to hear from the memory. This
is the method to use when your programme will play
the majority of the tracks on the disc, and you do not
want to change the sequence. During programmed
play, all player functions remain operative. You start
play by pressing the PLAY key. You move to the
next programmed track by pressing the PLAY key
again; if you do this during the last track of the
programme, the disc stops and the programme is
erased from the memory. Using REV and FWD to
search for a passage in one of the programme
tracks is possible,
but it is not recommended
because if the laser pick-up moves outside the
track which is being scanned, the programme will
