Infrared Remote Control
Before using the IR remote control, it is necessary to install two
“AAA” batteries (supplied). Remove the plastic cover on the
back of the IR remote, install the batteries (observing the + and –
polarity indications), and reinstall the cover.
To use the IR remote control, aim it at the IR sensor located in
the Display area on the front panel of the RCD-971.
Display

A lighted Display on the front panel of the RCD-971 provides use-
ful information about the status of the unit, activation of special
features, and track/time information for the disc being played.
Each of these indicators is described in the detailed operating
instructions that follow.

Disc Drawer

A motor-driven disc drawer, located in the center of the RCD-971,
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 trans-
port mechanism. Except where noted, all functions are available
on the RCD-971 front panel and the IR remote control. The circled
numbers provide a convenient reference for finding the button
on the illustrations of the RCD-971 and the IR remote control at
the front of this manual.
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 min-
utes and seconds.

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. How-
ever, you can select a different track using the TRACK but-
tons or the DIRECT ACCESS buttons (see below) before
pressing the PLAY button to start playing a different selec-
tion.
STOP Button

26
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
16
27
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
17
33
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 PRO-
GRAM 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)
22
These eleven numeric buttons (labeled 1 through 10 and >10)
are used to directly access a track from the IR remote con-
trol 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 se-
lect track 12, press the >10 button followed by the 1 button
and then the 2 button.
