When Direct Mode (see 4.20, “Direct mode”) is on,
the drive starts playing when power is supplied.
2 OPEN keys (1 and 2)
Open and close the appropriate disc tray.
NOTE
These keys cannot be used when the Direct mode
(see 4.20, “Direct mode”) is off and a disc is being
played back.

B SKIP keys

If the SKIP keys are pressed and held for more than

of times the keys were pressed.
NOTE

played, playback will restart after location to the track or
index.
If the track or index search is performed in pause
mode, the unit will enter pause mode after location to
the track or index.

Use these keys to locate to the desired position.
If you press these keys when the disc is being played
back, playback will restart when the desired position
is reached.

mode when the desired point is reached
