The CD-RW4U can be used to play back CDs
(including CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been
recorded and finalized on other types of recorder), as well as CD-R discs and CD-RW discs that have been
recorded on the unit.

open the disc tray. Insert the disc with the
recorded surface facing the base of the unit.

close the tray again.
When a disc is loaded into the unit, the display
briefly shows
TOC Reading. , with a flash-
ing period following the word Reading as the
unit determines the contents of the disc. When the
TOC has been read, the display shows (at the top left

pause playback temporarily.
The track number indicators at the bottom of the dis-
play light to show the available unplayed tracks. If
there are thirteen tracks on the disc, for example,
indicators

than 20 tracks on a disc, the track number OVER indi-
cator (at the bottom of the display) will light.
Time display modes
When playing back a CD (or in pause mode), there
are four different time display modes.
In each mode, the current track number is given, fol-
lowed by the time, as given below, e.g.

Press the DISPLAY key 6 to cycle through these
time display modes, as described here:
NOTE
If programmed playback has been selected (“Programmed
order playback” on page 17), the elapsed time and total
remaining time refer to the programmed material, not the
whole disc.
Track search
Use the MULTI DIAL control B or the SKIP keys on
the remote control unit I to jump forward or back-
ward by one track at a time, as shown on the display.
Note that going forward from the last track of the
disc will “wrap round” to track 1, and going back-
ward from the first track of the disc will “wrap
round” to the last track of the disc.
The track number indicators at the bottom of the dis-
play shows the selected track (the lit indicator at the
left of the row of indicators).
It is also possible to use the number keys on the
remote control unit
3 to jump directly to a particular

finalized CD-R
