BASIC  OPERATION

LOADING  AND  PLAYING  COMPACT
DISCS

To load a disc, press the 

OPEN/CLOSE

button to open the transport drawer.
When the drawer is fully extended, insert
the disc with the label facing upwards and
then press either the 

OPEN/CLOSE or

PLAY/PAUSE button to close the transport
drawer again.

If 

OPEN/CLOSE has been pressed, the

disc drawer closes and the CD player scans
the contents of the disc. After a short delay,
the display window then shows the total
number of tracks available on the CD, and
total playing time.
In the following example there are 7 tracks,
lasting a total of 41 minutes 2 seconds :

If mains power to the X-RAY V

3

player is

switched on with a disc already loaded, it
will automatically search for the disc.
The display then indicates 

STOP, and

shows the number of tracks available on the
CD and total playing time, as in the above
example.

DISC  PLAY

If 

PLAY/PAUSE is pressed, the CD player

will begin playing from track 1, confirmed
by the word 

PLAY appearing on the left of

the display, with 

in the centre and elapsed

time on the right.

When all tracks on the CD have been
played, the display shows 

STOP and total

number of tracks on the disc.

PAUSE

Pressing the 

PLAY/PAUSE button on the

front panel whilst a disc is playing pauses
playback of the disc.  

PAUSE appears in the

display window instead of 

PLAY.  The disc

will continue spinning, but the track does

not advance and the X-RAY V

3

's output is

muted.

Pressing 

PLAY/PAUSE again resumes play-

back from the same place.

PAUSE  (Remote control)

On the remote control, 

PLAY and 

PAUSE

buttons have separate functions at each end
of the same button.  Pressing 

PLAY will

only control disc play, and pressing 

PAUSE

will not resume play.  Note that if the disc is
already playing, pressing the 

PLAY button

reverts play to the beginning of the current
track.

STOP

Playback can be stopped at any time by
pressing the 

STOP button once.  On the

remote control, press either end of the but-
ton, not the middle part.

Pressing the 

STOP button a second time

opens the transport drawer.

If a disc is loaded but not playing, pressing
STOP once will also eject the drawer.
