CUE 

(11) button while the CD is playing and the disc will return to the pre-

tering effect will end when you press the PLAY/PAUSE (10) to save the cue point.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

·  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.
