7 English
Transport Control Buttons
These buttons provide basic control functions
for the disc transport mechanism. Except
where noted, all functions are available on the
RCD-06 front panel and the IR remote con-
trol.
OPEN/CLOSE Button 6 A
When the transport disc drawer is closed,
pressing this button automatically opens the
drawer. To close the drawer, press this button
again. The drawer can also be closed by
pressing the PLAY button.
When the drawer is open, the Display will
read “OPEN”. When it is closed with no disc,
the display will read “NO DISC”. When the
drawer closes with a disc inserted, the Display
will indicate the number of tracks on the disc
and the total time of the disc in minutes and
seconds.
PLAY Button 7 M
Press the PLAY button to start playing the
disc. If the disc drawer is open, it will close
automatically. The number of the track being
played and the elapsed time will be shown
in the display, along with the PLAY indicator.
Normally, the disc will start playing with the
first track. However, you can select a different
track using the TRACK buttons or the DIRECT
ACCESS buttons (see below) before pressing
the PLAY button to start playing a different
selection.
STOP Button 8 F
This button stops a disc that is playing and resets
the player, i.e. if play is resumed, the disc will
start over from the first track. Pressing the STOP
button twice quickly in succession cancels any
programmed selections (see below).
PAUSE Button 9 N
This button is used to temporarily suspend play.
The disc continues to spin and play will be
resumed from the current position. The PAUSE
indicator will light in the Display. To resume
playing the disc, press the PAUSE button again
or press the PLAY button.
TRACK Buttons 0 L
These buttons are used to select tracks on the
disc. When a disc is playing, pressing the right
TRACK button advances to the beginning of
the next track. Pressing the left TRACK button
returns to the beginning of the current track.
Pressing twice quickly in succession returns to
the beginning of the previous track. The new
track number appears in the Display.
These buttons are also used to select a track
before pressing the PLAY button or when
memorizing tracks for the PROGRAM play
mode (see below). These selections are made
by continuously pressing the TRACK buttons
until the desired track is reached.
In PROGRAM mode, the TRACK buttons
advance or reverse to the next track in the
memorized selection list.
DIRECT ACCESS Buttons B
Remote Only
These eleven numeric buttons (labelled 1
through 0 and >10) are used to directly access
a track from the IR remote control instead of
stepping through the tracks using the TRACK
buttons.
The first ten tracks on a disc can be selected
by pressing the corresponding button. For
example, to play the third track, press the 3
button on the remote control.
When accessing track numbers greater than
10, press the>10 button followed by the track
number. For example, to select track 12, press
the >10 button followed by the 1 button and
then the 2 button.
The number of the selected track will appear
in the main numeric area at the center of the
Display.
There is also a four by four matrix of track
numbers (1 – 16) located at the right side of the
display. This display indicates all of the tracks
on the disc. If there are more than 16 tracks on
the disc, all of the digits will light accompanied
by the word OVER, regardless of which track
is playing. This matrix is independent of the
main numeric area of the Display, which will
always indicate the currently playing track,
even if above 16.
The DIRECT ACCESS buttons may also be
used to memorize tracks in PROGRAM mode
(see below).
SEARCH Buttons K
Remote Only
These buttons fast forward or fast reverse
through the currently playing disc as long as
they are pressed. While the buttons are pressed,
you will hear high-speed audio. Releasing the
buttons returns to PLAY mode.
Additional Features
These convenience features add extra func-
tionality to the RCD-06, including the ability
to memorize a group of tracks to be played,
to repeat a disc, program, or track over and
over, to play the tracks on a disc in random
order, to automatically play the first 10 seconds
of each track, and to select from several avail-
able time displays.
PROGRAM Button J
Remote Only
This button, labeled PROG, allows you to
memorize as many as 20 tracks on the cur-
rent disc for playback in a specific order. For
example, you could instruct the RCD-06 to play
track 5, followed by track 3, followed by track
8. To begin a program:
1 Insert a disc and press the OPEN/CLOSE
button to close the drawer. The RCD-06
will read the contents of the disc.
2 Press the PROGRAM button on the remote
control. The PROGRAM indicator will light
up in the Display, along with “P:00” indicat-
ing that the unit is waiting for the first track
to be memorized.
3. Enter the first track number using the DIRECT
ACCESS buttons. Your selection will be
memorized automatically and the Display
indicator will change to “P:01”, indicat-
ing that one track has been memorized.
Continue entering the rest of your selections
using the DIRECT ACCESS buttons. Note
that there is no need to press the PROGRAM
button as each selection is memorized as
it is entered.
Once you have memorized a play list, the
RCD-06 remains in PROGRAM mode until
you open the disc drawer or press the STOP
button twice in succession. If you press the
PLAY button, the memorized program will play
instead of the entire disc, starting with the first
selection in the memorized list.
When a PROGRAM has been memorized, most
functions that would normally affect the entire
disc operate on just the memorized program.
For example, the TRACK buttons advance to
the next track in the memorized program, not
the next track on the disc. Likewise, the REPEAT
button (see below) continuously plays the
memorized program, not the entire disc.
