Before using this unit please read these operating instructions carefully. Take special care to follow the warnings indicated on the unit itself as well as the safety suggestions listed below. Afterwards keep them handy for future reference.

Safety

1. Power Source -- The unit should be connected to power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the unit.
2. Polarization -- If the unit is equipped with a polarized AC power plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other), that plug will fit into the AC outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
3. Power Cord Protection -- AC power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Never take hold of the plug or cord if your hand is wet, and always grasp the plug body when connecting or disconnecting it.
4. Nonuse Periods -- When the unit is not used, turn the power off. When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

3. Magnetism -- The unit should be situated away from equipment or devices that generate strong magnetic fields.
4. Stacking - Do not place heavy objects, other than system components, on top of the unit.

5. Surface -- Place the unit on a flat, level surface.

6. Carts and Stands -- The unit should be used only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer. The unit and cart combination should be moved with care.

Cautions on moving this unit

Before moving the changer to another location, be sure to remove all discs from the slots and turn off the changer.

Failure to do so will expose the compact discs and the changer to the risk of severe damage.

CAUTION

The changer mechanism automatically locks when power is turned off, to protect it against damage in transport.

Therefore, always press POWER and make sure "OFF" appears on the display before you unplug the changer.

Other cautions

Outside light or noise may sometimes cause the changer to detect a disc when there isn't one. However, the changer always correctly detects the disc when in the play mode no matter what.

Do not leave the front panel open. Infiltrating dust or other matter may lead to damage or malfunctions.

Concerning the liner notes organizer

Your changer comes with a notebook-like binder (liner notes organizer) in which you can keep your CD liners. There are also adhesive numbers for indicating slot numbers in the binder. This is a convenient way to keep track of what disc is in what slot.

Setting/Removing discs

How to set discs

A

1

Pulling gently from both ends, open the front panel.

Caution

• Except when setting or removing discs, keep hands out of the changer while open. You could injure yourself if somehow entangled in the internal mechanism.
• Keep cassette tapes away from the magnetic latches.

2

Slide the loader carriage to the slot No. where wanting to insert the disc.

Note

Slot No. 0 (SINGLE) is reserved for single disc play. (See page 10.)

3

Set the disc on the loader and flip the loader upwards.

Caution

• Do not use 3" (8 cm) discs fitted with expander rings. Expander rings could damage the disc slots.
• Do not use cleaning discs or warped discs. All of these could damage your changer.
• Do not use discs with poorly attached labels or stickers. Adhesive protruding from peeled off stickers can cause the changer to malfunction.
• Do not use irregular shape CDs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.).
• Do not put anything other than discs in the changer.

4

Close gently the front panel.

Note

If you leave the front panel open while a disc is in play, when the disc is over, the changer will stop.

How to remove discs

B

2. Slide the loader carriage to the slot you want.
3. Press the eject button on the loader carriage.

Special notes

You can set discs in the slots and remove them too, while playing discs.

• Do not set a disc in the slot of the disc being played (slot flashes). The disc in play is returned to its slot when finished. If two discs somehow jam the slot, one or both could be damaged. When this happens, the message "TAKE OUT" will appear on the display. Remove the disc that doesn't belong in the slot and press the stop button.
• Do not open the CD front panel and press the eject button when "CHECKING DISCS" appears in the display. The CD mechanism will be damaged if the eject button is pressed at this time.
• Sometimes the front panel cannot be opened while a disc is playing. It is a question of time. In such case, wait until you can open it.

To program by means of disc numbers only, repeat the above operation. (The count will increase by one for each operation.)

You can select slot No. 0.

Press the numeric button(s) to specify the track.

For example: To select track No. 20

$$ \boxed {\geq 1 0} \rightarrow \boxed {2} \rightarrow \boxed {0} $$

To program another track from the same disc, simply specify the track No.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have completed all entries.

If you attempt a 33rd selection, the "PGM FULL" indication will be displayed.

If you enter non-existing disc(s) or track(s), the corresponding indicator illuminates and the entry is included in the count. In the play mode, the changer will cancel the non-existing entry.

The programmed contents will remain stored in memory until they are cleared, even after the program mode is canceled.

Therefore, after program, it is possible to cancel the program mode and use another play mode and then hear the same program again at a later time.

In addition, if discs are changed, the program will be played using the new discs. If non-existing entries are found at this time, the changer will cancel them

For your reference

The program will remain stored in memory even after the unit is switched off.

However, if the power cord is unplugged or the power supply is otherwise interrupted for an extended length of time, the contents will be erased from memory.

Special note on recording programs

The changer needs time to change the discs and find the tracks.

Consequently, it will take the changer slightly longer than the total track time to record everything. Exactly how much longer it will be will depend on the contents of the program.
