JOG WHEEL (7) to the exact point you wish play to begin, and then
PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (5) to memorize the CUE 1 POINT (CUE 1
LED will blink).
NOTE: When a CUE LED is not lit, there is no CUE POINT saved in

the track and when the track gets to the approximate spot, push the
PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (5), and if the cue LED is not blinking
(indicating the unit is ready for you to set the cue) press the CUE
BUTTON you wish to assign the cue to (CUE 1 or CUE 2), than you
must touch the SEARCH
JOG WHEEL (7) to fine tune the memo-
rized cue point, adjusting the CUE POINT forward or backward. The
unit will go into CUE MODE (cue LED will be lit) and the location

spot selected. If you don’t want to memorize the adjusted CUE
POINT, after touching the SEARCH

TROUBLE SHOOTING
If THE DISC WILL NOT PLAY, check to see if the disc was loaded
correctly (written side up). Also check the disc for excessive dirt,
scratches, etc.
If the disc turns but there is no sound, check the cable connections. If
they are okay , check your amplifier or receiver.
If the CD skips, check the CD for dirt or scratches. Do not assume
that the CD player is defective. Many CDs are recorded out of spec
and will skip an most or all CD players. Before sending the unit in for
repair, try playing a CD that you are sure plays properly.
