Remote Control Functions 

 
The Zcd remote control has a maximum range of approximately 20 - 25 feet (6 - 7.5 meters) 
while pointed at the unit.  Use only AAA alkaline batteries in the handset and insert them 
according to the + and – polarity markings in the battery compartment.   

 
On and Off Buttons 

These have the same function as the Power button on the front 
panel.  These separate buttons enable programming 
unambiguous “hard” off and on commands into a system 
controller or to create a macro sequence for a learning-type 
remote control.   

Note:

 The On and Off buttons are disabled when the rear 

panel Turn On Options switch is set to 12V or AC

 

CD and - Buttons 

The CD and - buttons control the volume level of the 
variable analog output.  

The fixed output jacks and the two digital 

outputs are not affected by these volume buttons.

  The volume 

buttons would normally only be used if your Zcd is connected 
directly to a power amp without a preamp. 

 

Next and Prev Track Buttons 

These buttons will skip to the next track or to the previous track 
for both CD and MP3 playback.

(Rewind) Buttons 

Each time you press Fast Forward or Rewind buttons on the 
remote the playing speed will increase.  Available speeds are 2X, 
4X, 8X and 16X.  To return to normal playback speed, press the 
Play button.  Normal playback will also resume at the end or 
beginning of each track.

 

 
PROG (Program) Button 

This is used to program a particular track order.  For example you 
might want to listen to track 9, 5, 3 then 11.  See the section on 
how to program track order on page 10. 

 

Number Buttons 

The number buttons allow you to jump directly to a particular 
track.  If you want to jump to a track higher than 9, press the 10+ 
button first and then the next digit.  (For example, number 14 is 
10+, then 4) 

  

Transport Buttons (Play, Stop Pause) 

These transport keys control both CD and MP3 playback. 
 

MP3 Cursor and Enter Buttons 

These buttons are only for use if you have a TV connected to your Zcd.  With a TV connected 
you will be able to view and navigate through MP3 files stored on a USB flash drive or CD-R. 
 

Random Button 

The Random button allows the tracks of a CD (or MP3 files) to be played back in a random 
order.  Press this button once to turn on Random mode and a second time to turn it off.  When 
Random mode is selected, “RDM” will be displayed in the bottom right corner of the display.
