CALENDAR DISPLAY TRACK LISTING
Displays a list of tracks
available on the disc. As each track is played its number is
blanked out on the Track Listing, giving a simple indication of how
much of the disc has been played and how much remains. The
number for the current track being played blinks. The display
shows up to 16 numbered tracks.
STATUS
A right-pointing arrowhead
, located near the left
edge of the time display, lights up during PLAY. Two vertical bars
indicate that the player is in PAUSE. In STOP mode the
display reverts to showing the total number of tracks and playing
time of the disc.
no dISC
When no disc is present or when you load a disc that
cannot be read (because it is dirty or is upside-down) “no dISC”
lights up in the display.
REMOTE RECEIVER
An infrared sensor, located at the right-
hand portion of the display window, receives commands from the
remote control. There must be a clear line-of-sight path from the
remote control to this window; if that path is obstructed, the
remote control may not work.
4. OPEN
Press this button to open the disc drawer, and press it again to
close the drawer. If this button is pressed while a disc is being
played, playback will stop, the pickup will reset to the beginning of
the disc and the drawer will open. Opening the drawer will also
delete the players memory for Program Play. When the disc drawer
is open, the drawer-closing mechanism can also be activated by
pressing PLAY or by gently pushing the drawer inward.
NOTE:
The disc drawer is opened and closed by an internal
motor. Do not close the drawer by hand with the power off.
When the drawer closes, the player scans the disc’s TOC (Table Of
Contents) and displays the total number of tracks and playing time
on the disc. If you press PLAY to close the drawer this information
is skipped, and play commences immediately at Track 1.
5. PLAY/PAUSE
This dual-function button alternates between starting and stopping
playback. Press to start play or to resume play after Pause. During
play, press this button to stop playback temporarily, keeping the
optical pickup at its current position on the disc. The PLAY mode
is identified by a right-pointing arrowhead in the display. The
PAUSE mode is identified by two vertical bars
. To resume
playback at the exact point where it stopped, press PLAY/PAUSE
again. If you don’t want to resume play at the same point, you may
use the SKIP and SCAN controls to cue the pickup to a different
starting point before pressing PLAY again.
6. TIME
The TIME button alternates between displaying the elapsed or
remaining tracks and time of the disc or program being played. In
the default setting, the display will indicate the current track
number and time elapsed since the beginning of the track. Press
the button once to display the total number of remaining tracks
and time of the disc or program being played. Press again to
revert to the default, elapsed time display.
7. STOP
Press the STOP button once to stop playback, and re-sets the
pickup to the beginning of the disc. The display reverts to showing
the number of tracks and total playing time on the disc. If the CD
player was programmed to play a selection of tracks, the program
will be retained in the player’s memory. Pressing STOP a second
time will also delete the program. Pressing STOP twice will also
disengage Repeat and Random play if these were engaged.
8. REPEAT
This button engages the Repeat Play mode, an endless-repeat
cycle. Press the Repeat button once to select the REPEAT 1 mode,
in which only the current track is repeated over and over again.
Pressing the Repeat button once again selects the REPEAT ALL
mode, in which the entire disc is played from beginning to end,
over and over again. Press the Repeat button a third time to cancel
the repeat cycle and return to normal operation.
The Repeat Play mode can be used in combination with Program
and Random Play modes. When the C521i is in Repeat Play mode
“REPEAT 1” or “ALL” will be shown in the Display Panel. Repeat
Play mode can also be disengaged by pressing the STOP button
twice. On the first press of the STOP button, playback will stop, the
second press will disengage Repeat Play mode.
9. RANDOM
Engaging the Random Play mode will play all the tracks once on
the CD in a random order. From Stop, press first the RANDOM and
then the PLAY/PAUSE button to engage Random Play mode. During
normal playback the Random Play mode can also be engaged by
pressing the RANDOM button. The current track will stop playing
and the first randomly selected track will commence.
The Random Play mode can be used in combination with the
Repeat Play All mode but not with Program Play mode. When the
C521i is in Random mode “RANDOM” will be shown in the Display
Panel. Press the RANDOM button again to cancel Random Play
mode and return to normal Play mode. Random Play mode can
also be disengaged by pressing the STOP button twice. On the first
press of the STOP button, playback will stop, the second press will
disengage Random Play mode.
10. SCAN
The SCAN button causes the optical pickup to scan backward
through the recording at high speed. This button works only while
the player is in PLAY or PAUSE. After a STOP command, or after
loading a new disc, you must press PLAY before the scan circuit
will work. If Scan is initiated while the player is in PAUSE the scan
is silent; if initiated during PLAY the music will be heard in
fragmentary form at reduced volume as the player scans through
it. For the first approximately 50 seconds of a track, scanning will
be at around 3 times the speed, after which scanning speed
increases to around 15 times faster than normal playing speed.
Use this “audible scan” to cue the player precisely to the spot
where you want to resume play. If you scan back to the beginning
of the disc while playing Track 1, the player automatically reverts
to normal playback.
The SCAN button causes the optical pickup to scan rapidly
forward through the music. The behaviour of this function is
similar to SCAN . If you scan forward to the end of the disc
while playing the final track, the scan will stop and the Time
display will show the table of contents. (There is no “wrap-
around” mode.)
11. SKIP
During playback, press the SKIP
button once to skip back to
the beginning of the current track. Press SKIP twice in rapid
succession to skip back to the previous track or previous
programmed track in Program Play mode, once to reach the
beginning of the current track and again to jump to the previous
track. When pressing continuously, the player will skip to previous
tracks repeatedly, concluding at the beginning of the disc
(Track 1) or the first track programmed in Program Play mode.
MEMORY
During Program Play or programming for Program
Play, MEMORY will light up.
