time of the CD.

CUE INSTRUCTIONS
1. To start the play at a point other than the beginning of a track, follow
these instructions:
First choose the track you wish to play, and then press the PLAY/
PAUSE BUTTON (7) so the unit goes into the play mode. Press the
PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (7) to pause play at the spot where you want
the play to start the CUE POINT. Use the SEARCH BUTTONS (8) to pick
the precise spot you want play to begin, then press the PLAY/PAUSE
BUTTON (7) again to save the cue point. Press the CUE BUTTON (5) to
pause play at the cue point (the unit will go into the pause mode and the
location indicated on the display will be the memorized cue point). You
can preview the cue point by pressing and holding down the CUE
BUTTON (5). Press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (7) to begin play from
the cue point.
2. Once you have saved a cue point you can fine tune or change the
memorized cue point:
To change a cue point, push the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (7) so the unit
plays from the cue point, then press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (7) at
the spot you wish your new cue point. Press the PLAY/PAUSE
BUTTON (7) again to save the cue point. The unit will go into the pause
mode and the location indicated on the display will be the new memo-
rized cue point.
To fine tune a cue point, pause play at the memorized cue point, then
use the SEARCH BUTTONS (8) to scan frame by frame (1/75th of a
second) to where you want play to begin. Press the PLAY/PAUSE
BUTTON (7) to save the new cue point.
Note: During fine tuning there will be a stutter effect (to help you
find the beat). The stuttering effect will end when you press
the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (7) to save the cue point. Also, during
fine tuning if you hold down the SEARCH BUTTONS (8), the unit
will scan quickly after 10 frames.
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 (11) button.
2. Press the ROBO START (15) 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 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 (15) button to activate ROBO START (the
button will blink).
3. Press PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (7) 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.
