Since the CD-9500 PRO III is a dual CD player, most of the functions and
controls are duplicated on both sides of the CD player. To eliminate
confusion and to make the drawings easier to understand, we will only
number the right side functions and controls. The only controls that are
not duplicated are the POWER SWITCH (1) and the VOLTAGE SELEC-
TOR SLIDE SWITCH (17).
CUE: With the unit in the play mode (play/pause LED glows green), and
after using the SEARCH BUTTONS (7) to memorize the cue point,
pressing the CUE BUTTON (11) will cause the CD player to enter the
pause mode (play/pause LED blinks green) at the memorized cue
point (the cue LED glows yellow). If the cue point was not memo-
rized, the unit will return to the beginning of the track. Holding down
the cue button changes the cue function to preview (allowing you to
hear the music play at whatever tempo you adjusted to by holding
the cue button down). Releasing the cue button returns you to the
preset cue point.
LINE VOLTAGE SELECTION
Model CD-9500 PRO III is a dual voltage unit. It will operate at 115 or 230
volts. The unit is preset at the factory to 115 volts. To set the proper
voltage follow these steps:
CUE/B REPEAT: After the cue point is memorized, pressing the CUE/B
BUTTON (12) in the play mode, (the cue LED BLINKS yellow),
repeats the section between the cue point and the point where the
CUE/B BUTTON (12) was pressed (there will be a slight delay
between the end and the restart of play).
1. Place the head of a screw driver in the center of the VOLTAGE
SELECTOR SLIDE SWITCH (17) found on the rear panel.
2. Slide the switch left for 115 volts or push the switch right for 230
volts.
SINGLE: Pressing the SINGLE (15) button will activate single mode and
the AUTO CUE FUNCTION which causes the unit to play one track
at a time and to stop at the beginning of music of the following track.
This allows you to start play immediately from the start of music
without any blank space (which exists at the beginning of every
track).
3. Do not force or twist the switch. Excessive force may cause
damage. If the switch does not move smoothly, contact a qualified
technician.
CONNECTIONS
1. Using the included cables, plug one end into the REMOTE JACK (20)
on side 2 and the other end into the PLAYER JACK (19) also on side
2. Do the same for side 1.
CONTINUE: The CONTINUE (16) function will cause the unit to play
continuously (after the last track, the unit will return to the first track
of the disc and continue to play).
2. Plug one end of a set of RCA connectors into each of the LINE
OUTPUT JACKS (18).
PITCH: Pushing the PITCH BUTTON (13) activates the pitch section of
the unit (pitch LED glows red). The pitch of the CD will change
according to the position of the PITCH CONTROL (13). Pushing the
PITCH BEND BUTTONS (14) will temporarily raise or lower the pitch
without changing the slide setting. Releasing the buttons will return
the pitch to the slide setting. Maximum pitch deviation is +/- 8 %.
3. Plug the other end of the RCA connectors into any available line level
input jacks on your mixer. If you are playing the CD-9500 PRO III
through a receiver, you can plug the RCA connectors into the CD or
AUX input jacks on your receiver. If there are no CD or AUX inputs,
use any line level (not phono) inputs.
DIGITAL OUTPUT JACK: Connecting any type of DAT, MD, HARD
DRIVE, or other such items which accept digital signals to the BNC
OUTPUT CONNECTOR (21) on the rear panel of the transports
allows you to record a digital signal from CD.

1. To memorize the approximate spot at which you want play to start,
select the proper track, and then push the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON
(5) so the unit goes into the play mode (play/pause LED will glow
green). Listen to the CD and when the CD gets to the approximate

indicated on the display will be the memorized cue point.
2. To fine tune the memorized cue point, push the PLAY/PAUSE

in the play mode, simply push the CUE BUTTON (11). The unit will go
back to the previously selected spot, and enter the pause mode. By

and move the cue point forward or backward. After you have
located the spot, play the CD and listen to the start. If it’s still no
good, push the CUE BUTTON (11) and try again. The memorized cue
point will always be the last location after using the SEARCH
BUTTONS (7).
