These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequeney energy and, If not installed and used in accordance with the lnstructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. [. . . ] The suspension system also prevents low frequency sounds from causing similar skips or jumps whilst the CD is playing. This function allows you to set a cue point on a given CD and to access this point quickly and easily. If the CD is left unattended or on pause mode for an extended period (approximately 10 minutes) the unit will go into sleep/auto standby mode. This feature has been included to promote the life of each mechanism as constant playing will wear down the quality of the laser and reduce the amount of enjoyment that you may have with the CDX-16. BEFORE USE Using CDs. A conventional CD consists of two (2) sides. Typically one side bears a label stating the name of the CD and artist whilst the front side, rainbow like in its color, contains the information that makes this technology work. There are approximately six (6) million data items stored on any one given CD front surface. Please make sure to load the CD into the playing mechanism correctly, so that the front side (rainbow) is unable to be seen once the lid is closed. Unlike conventional analog turntables, CD technology uses a fine laser beam instead of a stylus to read the contents of the disc. As a result of there being little physical contact, a CD will take infinitely longer to degrade. Repeated use of a CD, even playing over the same track again and again will likely have very little effect on the audible quality of the discs data. However, the front surface of a CD is brittle and may be scratched or damaged if you are careless in its handling. Thus, please take care to load you CDs correctly and ensure that you store them in a safe place. Furthermore, avoid leaving CDs in direct sunlight or in close proximity to a heating device or hot object, in the rain or in water, or on surfaces that have excessive moisture or surface dirt/grime. Also take care when cleaning any CD by using a recommended or special purpose cleaning cloth, cleaning spray or product and always wipe in the direction illustrated below. Wipe from the inside out. Do not wipe in a circular fashion. Never use record cleaner designed for conventional analog disks, this will degrade the CD disc surface. Always store disc properly in the case. Warning Please do not inhibit access to this unit's main switch by operating it in a confined area. This is especially useful when recalling an exact start point far from the start or end point or a particular track. stick left Scans backward. stick right Scans forward. The information (data) on a CD is written at approximately 75 frames per second. PREVIOUS BUTTON Used for skipping backwards to the starting point of the current track (when pressed once). If pressed twice, the return point is the starting point of the previous track. The number of times this button is pressed (after the first time) corresponds to the number of tracks back the starting point returns to. NEXT BUTTON Used for skipping forward to the starting point of the next track. The number of times pressed determines the number of tracks skipped ahead. PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON Press this button to play a given track on the CD or to pause at any point on any track. Whilst in pause mode, the CD will continue to spin but the point at which you pressed pause will be the starting point for when you choose to push play. PLAY/PAUSE INDICATOR This light indicates whether or not the unit is in play or in pause mode. [. . . ] When set to MIX the master signal can be monitored through both headphones in stereo. INPUT LEVEL METER This LED indicates the current level of each input signal for both PGM A and PGM B. PGM EQ VOLUME Used to adjust the EQ, Hi (high) Lo (low) frequencies for each PGM. PGM VOLUME LEVEL Used to control and adjust the input level of each PGM. CROSS FADER With the cross fader to the left, the output signal is PGM A. Therefore, when the cross fader is to the right the output signal is PGM B. As the cross fader is moved from one side to the other there is a blend of the respective signals. This is such that when the fader is in the neutral (center) position both signals can be heard. [. . . ]
