USING THE CD CHANGER

LOADING CDs

IMPORTANT:  Make sure you have removed the shipping screw and sleeve from
            the bottom of the system before you load and play CDs.

1.  Press CD.  Its indicator lights.

    NOTE:  Wait a few seconds until the CD changer displays DISC and the
           current disc number before continuing.

2.  Before you load a CD, you must assign the number of the slot where you
    will load it.  You can do this in one of two ways:

    Repeatedly press DISC SKIP UP or DOWN until DISC and the desired disc
    number appear.

    Enter a 2-digit disc number using the DISC SELECT keys on the CD
    changer.

NOTES:  There are 24 disc numbers.  The bottom of the display shows a
        circle around the disc number when a disc is loaded.

        If you choose a disc number that already has a CD loaded in it,
        the CD changer displays that CD's information.

        If you try to load a CD without assigning a number to it, the CD
        changer might eject a CD you previously loaded.

3.  Press LOAD/EJECT on the CD changer.  The CD slot opens, LOAD DISC
    scrolls across the display, and the selected disc number flashes.

4.  Within 10 seconds, load a CD.  Hold it vertically, then gently insert
    it about halfway through the CD slot, label side to the right.  The CD
    changer automatically pulls the CD inside.

CAUTIONS:  Do not load anything other than 5-inch CDs into the CD changer.

           Do not load single 3-inch CDs or 3-inch CDs with any type of
           adapter device.  The CD changer might be damaged.

           Do not force the CD into the CD slot.

           Do not try to hold on to the CD or pull the CD out while the
           changer is pulling it in.

           To avoid pinching your fingers or damaging the CD or the CD
           changer, do not put your finger in the CD's center slot while
           inserting a CD.

NOTE:  If the CD slot closes before you load the CD, simply press
       LOAD/EJECT again and insert the CD.

       When you load a CD, either ENTER CATEGORY or CATEGORY IS and a
       previously assigned category and subcategory name (if any) scrolls
       across the display twice.  To assign a category and subcategory
       name to the CD, see "Using Category and Subcategory Names," below.

5.  Repeat Steps 2-4 to load more CDs.

SELECTING A CD

    CAUTION:  Do not try to load a CD while EJECTING DISC and the disc
              number are scrolling across the display.  This can damage
              the CD changer and the CD.

3.  Gently remove the CD from the CD slot within 10 seconds.

    CAUTIONS:  Do not try to hold on to the CD or pull the CD out while
               the changer is ejecting it.

               To avoid pinching your fingers or damaging the CD or the CD
               changer, do not put your finger in the CD's center slot
               while removing a CD.

               If you do not remove the CD within 10 seconds, the CD
               changer automatically pulls it in again.  Do not try to
               remove the CD while the CD changer is pulling it in.  Wait
               until the CD is fully loaded, then press LOAD/EJECT again. 

NOTE:  If DISC ERROR scrolls across the display or if the graphic around
       the current disc number blinks, the CD might be loaded incorrectly
       or scratched.  Press LOAD/EJECT on the CD changer to eject the CD,
       then fix and reload it.  See "CD Care Tips," below.

PLAYING CDs

    NOTE: If you use the remote control, the currently selected CD
          automatically begins to play. 

3.  Select the CD you want to play. 

    NOTES:  If you select a number that does not have a disc assigned to
            it, NO DISC appears.

            If you used the remote control to select the CD mode, you must
            press STOP/CLEAR to stop play so you can select the CD you
            want.

4.  Press PLAY/PAUSE on the CD changer (or CD>/|| on the remote control).
    >PLAY appears, and SEARCHING DISC and the CD's
    number might scroll across the display.  After a few seconds, the 
    selected CD begins to play from Track 1.

    While a CD plays, the CD changer displays the following:

        The current disc number (blinking inside the Graphic)

        The current disc number and track number (on the display)

        The current index number if the CD has index numbers (numbers that
        mark sections within a track) or 1 if the CD does not have index
        numbers

        Elapsed time for the current track (in minutes and seconds)

    NOTES:  A sudden shock or jolt while a CD is playing might suddenly
            change the CD's rotation speed or make the CD changer skip the
            current track.  This might momentarily mute or distort the
            sound.  This is not a malfunction.

            To temporarily stop play, press PLAY/PAUSE on the CD changer
            (or CD>/|| on the remote control). >PLAY flashes
            on the display.  To resume play, press PLAY/PAUSE (or CD >/||)
            again.

    Remaining time for the entire CD (in minutes and seconds)

    Elapsed time for the current track (in minutes and seconds)

NOTE:  You cannot display the remaining time for the entire CD during
       programmed play, time edit, or program edit recording.

USING CATEGORY AND SUBCATEGORY NAMES

You can assign a category name to each loaded CD, and then use category
names to select and play only those CDs that contain the type of music you
want to hear.

In addition to assigning category names to loaded CDs, you can further
define music styles within the same category by assigning your own
subcategory name to the CD.  For example, if you load two jazz CDs and
assign a JAZZ category name, you can assign subcategory names such as
DIXIE or FUSION.

NOTES:  The CD changer maintains the selected category and subcategory
        name by disc number.  If you eject a CD, then load another CD as
        that same disc number, the same category and subcategory names
        apply to the new CD until you change them.

        The CD changer saves category and subcategory names even when AC
        power is disconnected.

        You must assign a category to a loaded CD before you can assign a
        subcategory to it.

Assigning Category Names to CDs

These are the CD changer's preset category names:

    ROCK (Rock)
    C/W (Country and Western)
    R/B (Rhythm and Blues
    JAZZ (Jazz)
    EASY (Easy Listening)
    SHOW (Show Tunes)
    CLAS (Classical)

Follow these steps to assign a preset category name.

1.  With play stopped, select the desired CD.

2.  Repeatedly press ENTER CATEGORY MAIN on the CD changer until CATEGORY
    and the desired category name flash on the display.

    Each time you press ENTER CATEGORY MAIN, the CD changer displays the
    category names in the following order.

    1.  ROCK
    2.  C/W
    3.  R/B
    4.  JAZZ
    5.  EASY
    6.  SHOW
    7.  CLAS
    8.  Previously entered category name, if any
    9.  --------(Blank for creating a new category name)

3.  When you see the category name you want, press MEMORY on the CD
    changer.  (category name) IS MEMORIZED scrolls across the display.

When a CD is loaded, you can create a new category name that contains up
to B characters (including letters, numbers and special characters) and
assign the new category name to the disc number.

           incorrect character flashes, then repeat this step.

6.  After you enter the name, press MEMORY on the CD changer to store it. 
    The category name you entered and IS MEMORIZED scrolls across the
    display.  The category name is assigned to the CD you selected.

Creating and Assigning Subcategory Names

You can create subcategory names that contain up to 8 characters
(including letters, numbers and special characters) and assign the
subcategory name to a disc number that already has a category name.

NOTE:  You must assign a category name to the CD before you can assign a
       subcategory name to it.

1.  With play stopped, select the desired CD.

2.  Press ENTER CATEGORY MAIN on the CD changer once.  The category name
    you assigned to the disc number and CATEGORY flash.

3.  Press ENTER CATEGORY SUB on the CD changer once.  --------appears on
    the display and SUB CATEGORY and the first position in -------- flash.

4.  To enter the sub-category name, repeatedly press the appropriate DISC
    SELECT key until the first desired character flashes on the display.

    For example, to select L, repeatedly press 4/JKL until L flashes on
    the display.

        automatically erases any assigned subcategory name.

        When you erase a subcategory name, the CD changer automatically
        erases the category name, also.

        To change a CD's category name, simply assign a different one in
        its place.

        To erase a CD's category and subcategory names, follow these
        steps.

    when a CD is not playing.

    Press EDIT on the CD changer when a CD is not playing.

    Press POWER/STANDBY to turn off the System 735.

CD CARE TIPS

Even though a CD is very durable, you should handle it with care.

    Keep the CD inside the CD changer or in its protective case or sleeve   
    when you are not playing it.

    Handle a CD by its edges to avoid fingerprints which can prevent the
    CD changer's laser beam from accurately reading the CD.  Your local
    Radio Shack store sells a suitable CD cleaner kit.

    Do not write on either side of the CD, particularly the non-label
    side.  (Signals are read from the non-label side.)

    Keep the CD dry.  A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser
    beam's focus.

    If a CD skips or the CD changer displays DISC ERROR when you try to
    play it, it might be scratched.  Your local Radio Shack store sells a
    Scratch'n Fix kit (Cat. No. 42-127) that might help remove the scratch
    and stop the skip.  See also "Troubleshooting," Faxback Doc.#     .
