5 – Operation
Loading discs
Inserting a disc
Hold the disc with its label side up and insert it part way
into the disc slot. Push the disc in a little further and, just
before it disappears, it should automatically be pulled
into the player. After a disc is loaded, the player will read
its information. If it is an audio CD, the display will show
the total number of tracks and total playback time. If it is
a data CD, the display will show the total number of tracks
in the current directory.
CAUTION
You cannot load a disc when the power is off.
In order to prevent the accidental insertion of a disc
when another disc is already loaded, this unit is
equipped with a "disc stopper". (After a disc is loaded,
the stopper in the insertion slot rises.)
When inserting a disc, pulling it out when it is partially
inserted or forcing it in with excessive strength, for
example, could scratch the disc or damage the unit.
If the disc becomes caught or is otherwise difficult
to push, do not force it in. Press the EJECT button
and remove the disc once before trying to reinsert it.
Forcing the disc into the player could damage the disc
or even break the player.
If a disc other than an audio CD is inserted or a disc is
inserted upside down, it will automatically be ejected.
8-cm CDs cannot be used with this unit. If an 8-cm CD
is inserted, it will automatically be ejected. If it is not
automatically ejected completely, press the EJECT
button.
Ejecting a disc
Press the EJECT button on the player or the remote to
eject the disc part way. Pull the disc out the rest of the
way by its edges.
CAUTION
The EJECT buttons on the player and the remote do not
function when the player’s power is off.
Eject block function
The eject block function allows you to disable the
operation of the EJECT buttons on the player and the
remote during playback and when paused in order to
prevent playback from being interrupted accidentally by
the pressing one of these buttons.
To turn the eject block function on, set the
02 EJECT
menu item to
BL
.
NOTE
The eject block function on/off setting is maintained even
when the player’s power is turned off.
