RCD-991

Operation
The RCD-991 can be operated using its front panel buttons or
from corresponding buttons on the supplied infrared remote con-
trol. Specific instructions for each of these controls are detailed
below. Some of the buttons are duplicated on the front panel
and
on the IR remote control. However, there are many instances
where the buttons are only available on one or the other. These
are noted in the following instructions.
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 on
the front panel of the RCD-991.
Display

A lighted DISPLAY on the front panel of the RCD-991 provides
useful information about the status of the unit, activation of spe-
cial features, and track/time information for the disc being
played. Each of these indicators is described in the detailed op-
erating instructions that follow.

Disc drawer

A motor-driven disc drawer, located in the center of the RCD-991,
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
OPEN 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-991 front panel and the IR remote control. The circled
numbers provide a convenient reference for finding the button
on the illustrations of the RCD-991 and the IR remote control at
the front of this manual.

When the transport disc drawer is closed, pressing this but-
ton 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 DIS-

total time of the disc in minutes 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 time remaining 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 track.
PAUSE Button

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.
STOP Button

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 cancels any pro-
grammed selections (see below).
TRACK Buttons

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 DIS-
PLAY.
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.
