Remote Control
The CD 1 remote control has a maximum range of approximately 20 - 25
feet (6 - 7.5m). Use only AAA alkaline batteries and insert them according
to the + and – polarity markings in the battery compartment.
Please recycle your used batteries.
Off and On Buttons
The Off and On buttons have the same function as the On-Off button on
the front panel. These separate buttons enable you to program
unambiguous “hard” off and on commands into a system controller or
to create a stable macro sequence for a programmable remote control.
Number Buttons
The number buttons allow you to play a particular track. If you want to
play a track higher than 9, press the 10+ button first and then the next
digit (For example, number 14 is 10+, then 4).
Transport Buttons (Play, Stop, Pause, Eject, Track Skip)
These transport buttons control CD playback.
<< (Fast Back) and >> (Fast Forward) Buttons
If you press and hold one of these buttons the CD 1 will fast forward or
fast back. The longer you hold down the button, the faster the speed
will go. Fast forward and back are normally silent until play resumes.
You can choose audible fast forward or fast back in the setup menu.
The movement is slower and will stop every 20 seconds to play a few
seconds so you can hear where you are on the CD.
Dim Button
Press the Dim button to decrease the brightness of the front panel
display or to turn it off completely. Whenever the CD1 is turned on its
front panel display brightness is at its maximum.
Polarity Inv (Invert) and Norm (Normal) Buttons
The factory default is for normal (0°) absolute polarity. Press the Polarity Inv (Invert) button to invert the
absolute polarity of the analog outputs 180°. Press the Norm (Normal) button to restore normal polarity
and the same polarity (0°) as it is recorded on the CD. The CD 1 front panel indicates when you select
inverted polarity. There is no indication for normal polarity.
Please note that the polarity buttons affect only the balanced and unbalanced analog Outputs. They do
not affect the digital outputs.
Correct absolute polarity insures that loudspeaker cone or diaphragm movement in (negative pressure)
and out (positive pressure) is consistent with the original recording. While correct absolute polarity may not
be audible in many recordings, you may detect a marked audible improvement in very well-recorded
performances. Contact the manufacturer of your power amplifier and preamplifier if you are uncertain if
they maintain correct invert polarity. If your amplifier or preamplifier invert polarity you might want to turn
polarity invert on. It is also important to remember that not all CDs are mastered with the correct absolute
polarity, so even if all your equipment is non-inverting, the CD itself might be mastered inverted. You may
also find that some recordings simply sound better if you invert the polarity. In this case you can simply
select the polarity setting that sounds best.
Please note that Parasound amplifiers and preamplifiers do not invert the polarity.
JC 2 (and P 7) Preamp Control Buttons
These buttons enable you to control the Parasound JC 2 and P 7 preamplifiers.
