Operating instructions

disc

The CXC has been designed to only play:

  • Compact discs,
  • Recordable CDs (CD-R)
  • Re-writable CDs (CD-RW) bearing the identification logo shown above

Note: Any CD-R/CD-RW discs should contain properly recorded TOC (Table of Contents) information so that they can be played back.

The CXC can play only the discs recorded in the CD-DA format designed for music reproduction. Do not attempt to play a disc containing other data, such as a CD-ROM for PCs with MP3 or WMA files.

Loading and unloading discs

  1. Using the front panel or remote control, press the ‘Open/Close’ button to open the CXC disc tray.
  2. Once the disc tray has fully opened, carefully place a disc into the tray with the label side facing upwards.
  3. Close the disc tray by pressing the ‘Open/Close’ button again. When the tray has fully closed the CXC will read the disc and display the content information.
  4. The disc tray can be opened at any time during playback using either the front panel ‘Open/Close’ button, or the one located on the remote control. Only remove an inserted disc after the disc tray has fully opened.

Important information

  • Do not put anything except for a compact disc into the disc tray as this can damage the mechanism.
  • Do not force the tray by hand during opening and closing operations.
  • To avoid dirt and dust entering the mechanism, keep the disc tray closed when not in use.
  • If the compact disc that you are attempting to load is badly scratched or dirty, the player may be unable to read or play it.
  • Never attempt to load multiple discs into the disc tray at any time.
