Disc Drawer
A motor-driven disc drawer, located in the
center of the RCD-1072, slides out to accept
a compact disc and retracts to play the disc.
Place the compact disc in the drawer label-side
up. Make sure the disc is properly centered
in the tray. The drawer can be closed in two
ways: pushing the OPN/CLS button or pushing
the PLAY button.
Transport Control Buttons
These buttons provide basic control functions
for the disc transport mechanism. Except
where noted, all functions are available on
the RCD-1072 front panel and the IR remote
control.
OPEN/CLOSE Button
When the transport disc drawer is closed,
pressing this button automatically opens the
drawer. To close the drawer, press this button
again. The drawer can also be closed by
pressing the PLAY button
When the drawer is open, the Display will
read “OPEN”. When it is closed with no disc,
the display will read “NO DISC”. When the
drawer closes with a disc inserted, the Display
will indicate the number of tracks on the disc
and the total time of the disc in minutes and
seconds.
PLAY Button
Press the PLAY button to start playing the
disc. If the disc drawer is open, it will close
automatically. The number of the track being
played and the elapsed time will be shown
in the display, along with the PLAY indicator.
Normally, the disc will start playing with the
first track. However, you can select a different
track using the TRACK buttons or the DIRECT
ACCESS buttons (see below) before pressing
the PLAY button to start playing a different
selec-tion.
STOP Button
This button stops a disc that is playing and resets
the player, i.e. if play is resumed, the disc will
start over from the first track. Pressing the STOP
button twice quickly in succession cancels any
programmed selections (see below).
PAUSE Button
This button is used to temporarily suspend play.
The disc continues to spin and play will be
resumed from the current position. The PAUSE
indicator will light in the Display. To resume
playing the disc, press the PAUSE button again
or press the PLAY button.
TRACK Buttons
These buttons are used to select tracks on the
disc. When a disc is playing, pressing the right
TRACK button advances to the beginning of
the next track. Pressing the left TRACK but-ton
returns to the beginning of the current track.
Pressing twice quickly in succession returns to
the beginning of the previous track. The new
track number appears in the Display.
These buttons are also used to select a track
before pressing the PLAY button or when
memorizing tracks for the PROGRAM play
mode (see below). These selections are made
by continuously pressing the TRACK buttons
until the desired track is reached.
In PROGRAM mode, the TRACK buttons
advance or reverse to the next track in the
memorized selection list.
DIRECT ACCESS Buttons
(remote only)
These eleven numeric buttons (labeled 1 through
10 and >10) are used to directly access a track
from the IR remote control instead of stepping
through the tracks using the TRACK buttons.
The first ten tracks on a disc can be selected
by pressing the corresponding button. For
example, to play the third track, press the 3
button on the remote control.
When accessing track numbers greater than
10, press the >10 button followed by the track
number. For example, to select track 12, press
the >10 button followed by the 1 button and
then the 2 button. The number of the selected
track will appear in the main numeric area at
the center of the Display.
There is also a four by four matrix of track
numbers (1 – 16) located at the right side of the
display. This display indicates all of the tracks
on the disc. If there are more than 16 tracks on
the disc, all of the digits will light accompanied
by the word OVER, regardless of which track
is playing. This matrix is independent of the
main numeric area of the Display, which will
always indicate the currently playing track,
even if above 16.
The DIRECT ACCESS buttons may also be used
to memorize tracks in PROGRAM mode (see
PROGRAM Button section).
SEARCH Buttons
These buttons fast forward or fast reverse
through the currently playing disc as long as
they are pressed. While the buttons are pressed,
you will hear high-speed audio. Releasing the
buttons returns to PLAY mode.
Additional Features
These convenience features add extra func-
tionality to the RCD-1072, including the
ability to play high-definition HDCD discs, to
memorize a group of tracks to be played, to
repeat a disc, program, or track over and over,
to play the tracks on a disc in random order,
to automatically play the first 10 seconds of
each track, and to select from several available
time displays.
HDCD
®
HDCD
®
is an encoding technique that allows
a CD to have greater effective dynamic range,
reduced distortion, and increased detail. When
playing HDCD encoded discs, the RCD-1072
can reproduce as much as 18-bit dynamic
range. HDCD discs are indentified by an HDCD
logo on the package.
No user action is required to play an HDCD
recording. The CD player automatically senses
HDCD encoding and enables the circuitry.
The HDCD LED on the front panel will light to
indicate that an HDCD disc is being played.
NOTE: Some CDs that are labeled as
HDCD have some tracks that are HDCD en-
coded and others that are not. The indicator
light will light only when playing encoded
tracks. This does not indicate a problem with
the unit.
