SKIP FORWARD/SKIP BACK
Pressing these keys skips to the next or previous track. SKIP FORWARD
always moves to the next track. However, the function of the SKIP BACK
key is different. If a CD is playing, pressing SKIP BACK once will return to
the beginning of the current track. Pressing SKIP BACK repeatedly will
select the previous tracks. If the CD is not playing, then pressing SKIP
BACK will move to the previous track.
VOLUME UP/DOWN
Pressing these keys increases or decreases volume by 0.5 dB for each
time the key is pressed. The two-digit LED on the front panel indicates
the volume level, with a range of 0-99. When the volume is set to zero
the output is muted. Volume level of 01 is –50dB from maximum
output, and each successive step increases the output by ½ dB until
maximum output is reached and the display indicates 99.
MUTE
The Wadia 301 CD has two mute modes that are automatically
implemented under different circumstances.
1. Software Mute: When the MUTE key is pressed on the remote
control, the Wadia 301 CD DSP engine transmits a stream of zero
signal-level samples to the DAC section, which results in zero
output.
2. Relay Mute: The Wadia 301 CD has mute relay connected
between the positive and negative outputs. When this relay is
engaged, it connects the positive output to the negative output,
reducing the output to zero. This relay, which produces an audible
click when it engages or disengages, is not in the music signal
path. The mute relay is engaged under any of the following three
conditions:
• Each time the Wadia 301 CD power switch is turned on.
• When the Wadia 301 CD detects AC input level below its
minimum operating range.
• When the volume control is set to zero AND the MUTE key on
the remote control is pressed.
When the Wadia 301 CD is in either software or relay mute, the Mute
indicator on the front panel will illuminate. Note that the CD will
continue playing even when the output is muted.
