Notes G If you will program tracks from more than one disc, before you press the PROG button, check the total recorded time of each disc on the disc tray by pressing the DISC SKIP button in turn. Without this operation, the total remaining time of each side of the tape and previously programmed track numbers (and also unprogrammed track numbers) will not be displayed during programming. G In step 5 and 8, even if “E rr” appears in the display, you can program another track of which time is shorter than the remaining time on the side of the tape. In this case, you can check the remaining time on the side of the tape by pressing the TIME display mode-select button. G CD synchronized recording method can be used if your tape deck is compatible with it. In this case, in step 10 and 11, press the SYNCHRO button and then press the PLAY button on this unit’s remote control transmitter. Recording automatically begins. (For details, refer to page 21.) Notes on tape programming G To check, cancel or correct program data, refer to page 13. G Up to a maximum of 40 tracks can be programmed from among any or all of the five discs loaded on the disc tray. If, however, the PAUSE mode is inserted, each PAUSE is counted as one track. G This function can be used to program up to track number 20. If the disc has more than 20 tracks, track number 21 and thereafter will not be programmed.

The unit will automatically program tracks on a disc in random sequential order for recording to tape. 1 Follow step 1 – 5 on page 17. 2 * The unit will automatically program tracks for side A and side B separately considering the tape’s total time. 3 Begin recording on the tape deck and press the PLAY/PAUSE button on this unit at the same time. 4 The unit will pause at the end of side A of the tape. Turn the tape over to side B. Resume recording and, at the same time, press the PLAY/PAUSE button on this unit. Notes G Because the programmed data changes every time the RANDOM button is pressed, the amount of time remaining at the end of the tape also changes accordingly. G If the tape’s length is not enough, all tracks cannot be programmed. In this case, exchange the tape for a longer one. G In step 2, you can check the program data for side A and side B. Œ Shows the number of programmed tracks for each side in turn just after the automatic programming is finished, and then it is replaced by the number of the first programmed track for side A.  Shows the total time of programmed tracks for each side. Ž Shows the programmed track numbers for each side. G CD synchronized recording method can be used if your tape deck is compatible with it.

repeatedly. For recording to tape, this feature is very helpful to adjust the recording level on the tape deck. 1 Stop the unit. 2 Select the SINGLE disc play mode. 3 Select the disc. Notes • This feature will also function in the program play mode. If program play is being performed, first press the STOP button, and then press the PEAK button. If program play is not being performed, only press the PEAK button. • To search for the peak level through all discs on the disc tray, in step 2, select the ALL disc play mode. 4 Searches the disc for the peak level. Repeatedly plays the part where the source level peaks. Adjust the recording level on the tape deck listening to this repeat play. To cancel this function Press the STOP button. (Some other buttons can also be used to cancel this function.) • Even if the peak level searching is performed twice or more on the same disc, the same part will not be always selected, because this unit will search for the peak level among parts on the disc that are randomly selected by the internal microcomputer.

2 Load a tape on the tape deck. * To record from the beginning of the tape, rewind the tape to the full end of the supply reel. * The peak level searching function of this unit is useful for adjusting recording level on the tape deck. (Refer to page 20.) 3 This unit enters into the pause mode, and the tape deck enters into the REC/PAUSE mode. * In this mode, the time display on this unit flashes on and off. 4 If necessary, select the desired track. 5 Both CD play and tape deck recording begin. * CD play begins a little later than recording. Notes • To finish or stop the recording, make proper operations on the tape deck. • Programmed sequence of tracks can also be recorded with this function, instead of recording an entire disc. (Refer to page 12–13 for the programming procedure.) • This function can also be used together with the automatic tape-programming function. (Refer to page 17–19.) 21 This unit can make a tape deck’s recording synchronized with CD play automatically. With this function, you can record a CD on tape very easily and more precisely. This recording method needs a YAMAHA tape deck compatible with this function. (Refer to the tape deck’s operation manual to know whether it is compatible or not.) * This unit and the tape deck must be placed close to each other so that they can receive the signals from this unit’s remote control transmitter at the same time.

NOTES ABOUT HANDLING COMPACT DISCS G This compact-disc player is designed only for playing of compact discs bearing the mark. Never attempt to load any other type of disc into the unit. The unit will also play 3-inch (8-cm) compact discs. G To remove a disc from its storage case, open the case and then press down at the center; with a finger through the center hole and the outer edges held as shown in the illustration, lift the disc out carefully. G Always handle the disc with care so that its surface is not scratched. G Compact discs are not subjected to wear during play, but damage to the disc surface when the disc is being handled can adversely affect the disc's play. G Compact discs are not affected by small particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so they should be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the center. G Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any other chemical-based liquid, because such substances might irreparably damage the disc’s surface. G Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature or high humidity for a long period of time, because these might warp or otherwise damage the disc. To play a 3-inch (8-cm) CD Place it in the inner recessed area of the disc tray. Do not put a normal (5-inch/12-cm) CD on top of a 3-inch CD. Battery installation Battery replacement If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries with new ones. Notes G Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement. G Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.) G Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not be used for an extended period of time. G If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries. Remote control transmitter operation range Notes G There should be no large obstacles between the remote control transmitter and the main unit. G If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp etc.), it might cause the remote control transmitter to not work correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting. 2 1 3 NO! 30° 30° Remote control sensor Within approximately 7 m (23 feet)
