8. CHANGING THE TIME DISPLAY (39, 40, & 41)/TIME BAR (34):
The time may be displayed in three different modes; Elapsed, Remain, and Total Remain. During normal play-
back, pressing the TIME BUTTON (8), will change the time display information (39, 40, & 41) in the LCD (2). The
following is a break down of the time settings and their definitions:
1) TOTAL REMAIN (37) - This details the time in the
LCD (
39, 40, & 41
)
as the current cds’ total remaining
time.
2) REMAIN (38) - This details the time in the
LCD (
39, 40, & 41
)
as the current tracks’ remaining running time.
3) ELAPSED - This details the time in the
LCD (
39, 40, & 41
)
as the current tracks’ elapsed running time.
The unit will indicate the ELAPSED time when neither the TOTAL REMAIN OR REMAIN indica-
tors are showing.
Note: When playing a Mp3 disc the TOTAL REMAIN time of a disc cannot be
shown. Only the REMAIN time and ELAPSED time of the track.
TIME BAR INDICATOR - The time bar in the LCD (2) visually details the time defined in the TIME METER (39,
40, & 41). This bar is also dependent on the selected time function REMAIN (38) or TOTAL REMAIN (37).
This
bar will begin to flash when 15 seconds of a track remain and will begin to rapidly flash when three
seconds of a track remain. The flashing bar is a great visual reminder a track is about to end. The
flashing bar will function regardless of which time mode the unit is in.
