PLAYING A CD

WARNING:  To protect your hearing if you are using earphones or
          headphones, set VOLUME to its lowest setting before you play a
          CD.

Press PLAY/PAUSE (>||).  The CD player automatically turns on and 00, the
total number of tracks on the CD, and the CDs playing time briefly appear
on the display.  Then the current track number and the elapsed time of the
current track appear, and Track 1 begins to play.

If you connected earphones, headphones, or amplified speakers to the CD
player's PHONES jack, turn VOLUME on the CD player to adjust the volume.

If you connected the CD player to your home audio system or autosound
system using the LINE OUT jack, you must use the home audio or autosound
system's volume control to adjust the volume.

To temporarily stop play, press PLAY/PAUSE (>||).  The current track's
elapsed time flashes.  To resume play, press PLAY/PAUSE (>||) again.

When the last track finishes playing, the CD stops and 00 appears for a
few seconds.  Then the CD player automatically turns off.  To turn it off
sooner, press STOP.

TURNING E-BASS ON AND OFF

To enhance the bass sound, slide E-BASS to ON.  To turn bass enhancement
off, slide E-BASS to OFF.

DIGITAL ANTI-SHOCK SYSTEM

Your CD player contains special circuits to overcome sound skipping
problems caused by shock or vibration.  This means you can carry the CD
player anywhere you go or use it in your vehicle.  When you turn on the
anti-shock system, the CD player continuously saves 10 seconds of music in
memory.  During a shock or vibration that would normally make a track skip
or pause, the CD player plays directly from memory.

To turn on the anti-shock system, press DAS.  If the CD player is playing
a CD, the sound briefly stops and an icon appears under MEMO.

After a few seconds, the CD player saves music in memory, adding one
indicator inside the icon for each second of music saved.  The icon looks
like this when it is full:   |.......|
                             | ..... |
                             |  ...  |
                             |___.___|

To turn off digital anti-shock, press DAS again.  The sound briefly stops
and the icon disappears.

Note:  The CD player consumes extra battery power when you use the anti
       shock system.  When you use the CD player in a stable location,
       repeatedly press DAS until the icon disappears to conserve battery
       power.

LOCKING THE CONTROLS

To protect your CD player from accidental program changes, slide HOLD in
the direction of the arrow marked next to HOLD to lock all controls except
PUSH OPEN, VOLUME (and HOLD itself).

To unlock the controls, slide HOLD in the opposite direction.

AUTOMATIC SEARCH MUSIC SYSTEM (ASMS)

You can use ASMS before or during regular or programmed play (see
"Programmed Play" below) to quickly locate any track on a CD.

While the CD is temporarily stopped, repeatedly press (|<<) or (>>|) to
move backward or forward to the desired track.  Press PLAY/PAUSE (>||) to
play the track.

During play, press (|<<) to return to the beginning of the current track.
Press (|<<) twice to return to the beginning of the previous track, then
repeatedly press (|<<) to move through the previous tracks or (>>|) to
move through the next tracks.  To move to the beginning of the next track,
press (>>|).

AUDIBLE SEARCH

To search forward or backward during play, hold down (>>|) or (|<<).  The
CD plays rapidly and you hear the music at a high speed and low volume.
The current track's elapsed time appears on the display.

Release the button to resume normal play.

Note:  If you hold down (>>|) while the last track is playing, audible
       SEARCH starts again at the beginning of that same track.  If you
       hold down (|<<) during the first track, audible SEARCH stops at the
       beginning of Track 1.

INTRO SCAN

You can set the stereo to scan forward and play the first 10 seconds of
each track on the CD, so you can find the track you want to listen to.

To begin scanning, press Play MODE.  INTRO appears.  Then press PLAY/PAUSE
(>||).  The first track number and --:00 appear and intro scan starts from
the first track on the CD.

To return to normal play, press PLAY/PAUSE (>||).  The current track's
elapsed time appears.

Notes:  Intro scan plays the tracks in the programmed order if you have
        programmed a sequence (see "Programmed Play" below).

        You can use (|<<) and (>>|) to skip through the tracks during
        intro scan.

REPEAT PLAY

You can repeat a single track or all tracks on the CD.

To repeat a single track, press REPEAT/ENTER.  REPEAT flashes.  The CD
player continuously replays the track.

To repeat all tracks on a CD, repeatedly press REPEAT/ENTER until REPEAT
appears.  The CD player continuously replays the CD.

To cancel repeat play, press REPEAT/ENTER until REPEAT disappears.

RANDOM PLAY

In random play, the CD player plays all the tracks once in random order,
then automatically stops.  To start random play at any time, repeatedly
press PLAY MODE until RND appears.

Note:  If you select random play during programmed play, the CD player
       stops the programmed sequence and starts random play of all tracks
       in the sequence.

To cancel random play, repeatedly press PLAY MODE so RND disappears.
