IMPORTANT NOTE
Since the CD-210 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
ROBO START (15), POWER (1) switch and the VOLTAGE SELECTOR
SLIDE (18) switch.
LINE VOLTAGE SELECTION
Model CD-210 is a dual voltage unit. It will operate at 115 or 230 volts. To
set the proper voltage follow these steps:
1. Place the head of a screw driver in the center of the VOLTAGE
SELECTOR SLIDE SWITCH (18) found on the rear panel.
2. Slide the switch left for 115 volts or push the switch right for 230 volts.
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 cable, plug one end into the REMOTE JACK (19) and
the other end into the PLAYER JACK (20).
2. Plug one end of a set of RCA connectors into each of the LINE OUTPUT
(17) jacks.
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-210 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.
FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
POWER SWITCH: After making sure that the VOLTAGE SELECTOR
SLIDE SWITCH (18), found on the rear panel, is properly set, plug the
unit in and press the POWER SWITCH (1). The unit will turn on. Pushing
the POWER SWITCH (1) a second time will turn the unit off.
DISC TRAY: The DISC TRAY (2) is where the CD is held during loading,
unloading and playback. Pressing the disc tray OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON
(3), will open or close the tray. The DISC TRAY (2) holds both 12 cm
and 8 cm CDs.
OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON : Press the OPEN/CLOSE BUTTON (3) to load or
remove a CD from the DISC TRAY (2).
DISPLAY: The DISPLAY (4) shows the track numbers, play mode, pause
mode, and 3 different time displays. These time displays are time
elapsed on the track, time remaining on the disc and time remaining on
the track.
PLAYBACK DISPLAY: The PLAYBACK DISPLAY (4A) displays the time
remaining to play and flashes slowly when the track has 30 seconds
left. The PLAYBACK DISPLAY (4A) flashes quickly when the track has
15 seconds left.
PLAY/PAUSE : Each press of the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (7) causes
the operation to change from play to pause or from pause back to play.
See the CUE INSTRUCTIONS section for more information.
TRACK SKIP : The TRACK SKIP BUTTONS (6) let you select the
track to play.
SEARCH BUTTONS : The SEARCH BUTTONS (8) are used to
move foward or reverse while in play mode. The SEARCH BUTTONS
(8) are also used to accurately position the disc at the point where you
wish the track to start playing. This position on the track is memorized
as the cue point. See the CUE INSTRUCTIONS section for more
information.
STOP : The STOP BUTTON (13) will end the playing of the CD.
TIME: The TIME BUTTON (10) switches the time display between the
three available choices listed under DISPLAY.
CUE: With the unit in the play mode, and after memorizing the cue point,
pressing the CUE BUTTON (5) will cause the CD player to enter the
pause mode at the memorized cue point. Holding down the cue button
changes the cue function to preview (allowing you to hear the music
play from the cue point) and releasing the cue button returns you to the
preset cue point.
CUE/B REPEAT: After the cue point is memorized, pressing the CUE/B
BUTTON (12) in the play mode, 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).
SINGLE-AUTO CUE/CONTINUOUS: Pressing the SINGLE-AUTO CUE/
CONTINUOUS (11) button activates the AUTO CUE FUNCTION. The
AUTO CUE FUNCTION causes the unit to pause at the beginning of
music of the following track and allows you to start play immediately
from the start of music without any blank space (which exists at the
beginning of every track). Pressing the SINGLE-AUTO CUE/CONTINU-
OUS (11) button a second time activates the CONTINUOUS function
causing the unit to play continuously (after the last track, the unit will
return to the first track of the disc and continue to play). Pressing the
SINGLE-AUTO CUE/CONTINUOUS (11) button a third time deactivates
the CONTINUOUS function.
ROBO START: Press the ROBO START (15) button to activate ROBO
START (the button will blink). Use ROBO START in SINGLE-AUTO CUE
MODE to alternate play between the two sides of the CD player (one
track from one side, then one track from the other side). See the “Robo
Start Instructions” section for further instructions.
PITCH CONTROL: Moving the PITCH CONTROL (14) activates the pitch
control of the unit, and the pitch of the CD will change according to the
position of the slide.
PITCH BEND : Pushing the PITCH BEND BUTTONS (9) will tempo-
rarily raise or lower the pitch without changing the slide setting.
Releasing the buttons will return the pitch to the slide setting.
DIGITAL OUTPUT JACK: Connecting any type of DAT, MD, HARD DRIVE,
or other such items which accept digital signals into the BNC CONNEC-
TOR (16) on the rear panel of the transports allows you to receive a
digital signal from CD.
