played will show both as a large number in the
middle of the display and as a smaller, flashing
number at the right side of the display. The
elapsed time of the track being played will
appear in the display.
As the disc plays, the track numbers will change,
and the time will reset to at the start of
each new track.To momentarily pause the play
of a disc, press the Play/Pause button

select a track by pressing the two-digit number
corresponding to the number of the track. Both
digits must be pressed within 5 seconds. For track
1-9, press "0" followed by the track number.
Note: If the CD has less than 10 tracks, it is not
necessary to press "0" first. If the CD has
between 10 and 19 tracks, it is only necessary to
press "0" first when selecting track 1. If the CD
has between 20 and 29 tracks, it is only necessary
to press "0" first when selecting track 1 or 2.

that disc.This pattern of a randomly selected disc,
and the play of two random tracks from each
disc, will continue until all tracks on all discs have
been played.At that point the unit will stop.
®
, HDCD
®
HDCD, which stands for High Definition
Compatible Digital
®
, is a sophisticated process
that enables the FL 8380 to deliver outstanding
digital-to-analog decoding no matter what type
of CD is played.
When a disc with the HDCD logo is played, the
FL 8380 is able to take advantage of the special
recording process that is used in the creation of
HDCD discs.Although HDCD discs are playable
on any CD player, when they are played on a
unit such as the FL 8380, the special circuitry
delivers audio with extraordinary fidelity, stun-
ning resolution and the highest possible overall
quality. The HDCD process effectively cancels the
additive distortions, caused by artifacts of the
A/D and D/A conversion processes, and simul-
tanously provides additional data to reduce the
subtractive distortions resulting from insufficient
data present in the 44.1 kHz, 16-bit PCM sam-
pling standard of the compact disc format.
No special adjustment is required to play an
HDCD disc. Simply play the disc as you would
any other CD, and the FL 8380 will automatically
sense that it is an HDCD recording.The HDCD
indicator will light in the Information Display
C
on the front panel to remind you that an
HDCD disc is playing.
It is important to note that the HDCD process is
completely compatible with standard recordings.
Its high-quality digital-to-analog circuitry pro-
vides enhanced playback even from all standard
CD audio discs
Play Exchange
