To stop the play of the filed program data and change to  
ordinary play of the disc, press the FILE/SAVE button. By  
this operation, the disc will be played in the ordinary

In the “ALL” disc play mode, discs which have program data  
in the memory’s file are played with their program data, and  
others are played normally.

REPEAT PLAY  
You can play any desired track or disc (set of discs) repeatedly by pressing the REPEAT button. The repeat play mode will  
change whenever you press the REPEAT button.  
SINGLE REPEAT (S REP)  
A single track is repeatedly played.  
(OFF)  
* This is also available in the programmed-play mode and the  
random-sequence play mode. (If the repeat play mode is  
switched off, the programmed-play mode or the random-  
sequence play mode will be resumed.)

repeatedly played.  
* In the random-sequence play mode, all randomly sequenced

Notes  
Not all discs have index numbers. The index system is a  
method for sub-dividing tracks into smaller divisions (such  
as, for example, the movements within classical  
symphonies) for easier location of those parts. The liner  
notes with the disc usually tell if such index numbers are  
included.  
If an index number is selected that is higher than any index  
number on that disc, play will start from the last index  
number point on the disc.  
For some discs, play may begin slightly prior to the actual  
INDEX  
designated index point.  
If the disc has no encoded index points, play will begin from  
the start of the selected track.  
The index number can be designated only while the INDEX  
number display is illuminated.  
Select the desired index number.

TRACK PROGRAMMING FOR RECORDING TO TAPE  
This convenient feature can be used to program tracks for recording to tape. By only memorizing the tape’s total possible recording  
time, the unit will automatically program tracks or help you to program tracks so they will fit onto the tape with the least amount of  
unrecorded space remaining at each end of the tape.  
Automatic tape programming  
This is for recording tracks on a disc so that they best fit onto a tape.

Notes  
If you will program tracks from more than one disc, before  
you press the PROG button, check the total recorded time of  
each disc on the disc tray by pressing the DISC SKIP button  
in turn. Without this operation, the total remaining time of  
each side of the tape and previously programmed track  
numbers (and also unprogrammed track numbers) will not  
be displayed during programming.  
Repeat step 3–4 to set more programs for side A of  
the tape. You can select the same track again.  
* If “E rr” appears in the display, the track number just  
selected cannot be programmed because there is not  
enough time remaining on side A of the tape.  
In step 5 and 8, even if “E rr” appears in the display, you can  
program another track of which time is shorter than the  
remaining time on the side of the tape. In this case, you can  
check the remaining time on the side of the tape by pressing

Notes  
This feature will also function in the program play mode. If

not being performed, only press the PEAK button.  
To search for the peak level through all discs on the disc  
tray, in step 2, select the ALL disc play mode.  
Even if the peak level searching is performed twice or more  
on the same disc, the same part will not be always selected,  
because this unit will search for the peak level among parts  
on the disc that are randomly selected by the internal  
microcomputer.

CD SYNCHRONIZED RECORDING  
This unit can make a tape deck’s recording synchronized with CD play automatically. With this function, you can record a CD on  
tape very easily and more precisely.  
This recording method needs a YAMAHA tape deck compatible with this function. (Refer to the tape deck’s operation manual to  
know whether it is compatible or not.)  
* This unit and the tape deck must be placed close to each other so that they can receive the signals from this unit’s remote control  
transmitter at the same time.

NOTES ABOUT THE REMOTE CONTROL TRANSMITTER

Remote control  
sensor  
Within approximately  
7 m (23 feet)  
Battery replacement  
If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used  
closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both  
batteries with new ones.  
Notes  
Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement.  
Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside  
Notes  
the battery compartment.)  
There should be no large obstacles between the remote  
control transmitter and the main unit.  
If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong  
lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.),  
it might cause the remote control transmitter to not work  
correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid  
direct lighting.  
Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will  
not be used for an extended period of time.  
If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid  
touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with  
clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly  
before installing new batteries.  
NOTES ABOUT HANDLING COMPACT DISCS  
This compact-disc player is designed only for playing of  
compact discs bearing the mark. Never attempt to load  
any other type of disc into the unit.  
Compact discs are not affected by small particles of dust or  
fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so they should  
be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not  
wipe with a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the  
center.  
The unit will also play 3-inch (8-cm) compact discs.  
To remove a disc from its storage case, open the case and  
then press down at the center; with a finger through the  
center hole and the outer edges held as shown in the  
illustration, lift the disc out carefully.  
Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of  
disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any  
other chemical-based liquid, because such substances  
might irreparably damage the disc’s surface.  
Always handle the disc with care so that its surface is not  
scratched.  
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature or  
high humidity for a long period of time, because these might  
warp or otherwise damage the disc.  
NO!  
Compact discs are not subjected to wear during play, but  
damage to the disc surface when the disc is being handled  
can adversely affect the disc's play.  
To play a 3-inch (8-cm) CD  
Place it in the inner recessed area of the disc tray. Do not put  
a normal (5-inch/12-cm) CD on top of a 3-inch CD.
