Operation
Clear Function
The Clear button only affects programming.After a track has been programmed into the memo-
ry, the program in question (ex. P-01), can be cleared from memory. For more on this function,
see Programming.
Search Function
The Search buttons are unlike the other buttons on the CDC-3 in that they must be held down
rather than pressed and released to operate properly. When pressed down, the search buttons
will fast forward or rewind the track that is currently being played. Once a button is released, the
track will continue play from that point.
Scan Function
The Scan buttons change the selected track in single increments in numerical order in either
direction (forward or backward) when the selected disc is or is not playing.
Programming
You can program up to 36 tracks from three separate discs in the order you want them to be
played.The programmed sequence will remain in memory until the power is turned off or the CD
drawer is ejected, at which time the program is cleared from memory and the unit must be repro-
grammed.

. Begin by pressing MEMO.The display will show the disc number, track, and program number
(P-01, for example).
2. Press DISC to select from which disc to program your first track.
3. Press SCAN until the number of the track you wish to program is displayed.
4. Press MEMO.The disc, track, and program number are stored.The display will now show
the next program number (P-02, for example).
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each additional disc and track to be programmed.
6. Once done, press STOP.
7. Press PLAY to start the program.To play the program continuously, press the REPEAT button. If
REPEAT is not selected, the program will stop playing after the last selection has played.
Reviewing Programs
It is possible to review the discs and tracks that have been programmed while still in the process
of programming.
1
. Press the STOP button at any point in time while programming.
2. Press the MEMO button repeatedly to scroll through each program number one at a time. Once
you’ve scrolled through all of the programs you entered, repeat steps 2 through 4 under
Programming to continue the programming process.
Note: Programs will be stored in memory until the power to the unit is turned off or the CD drawer is
ejected, at which time all programming will be cleared from memory.The user should be careful not to
press the Disk 1, Disk 2, or Disk 3 eject buttons when selecting which disc to program from, but rather
press the Disc button instead. Accidentally pressing the Disk 1, Disk 2, or Disk 3 eject buttons will clear
the memory.
