CAUTIONS

AC MAINS SUPPLY

Your blak CD Player is set to operate from a fixed supply voltage which is marked on a label next to the mains input plug. Before connecting the mains lead please check that your mains supply corresponds to this label as below:

• 230V Products: Voltage Range: 220V – 240V
• 115V Products: Voltage Range: 110V – 120V
• 100V Products: Voltage Range: 90V – 110V

The mains lead supplied with this product has an IEC mains socket which plugs into the IEC connector on the unit’s rear panel. The other end is normally attached to the appropriate mains plug for your country. In the UK this is the standard BS1363 plug. If the plug becomes damaged or is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by a qualified service personnel. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug. The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere. This plug should usually not be removed from the lead. If you do remove it, please dispose of it
safely so that it cannot be plugged into a mains socket whilst in a potentially dangerous condition. We suggest that you obtain a complete replacement lead from your dealer. Should you move to another country where either the mains voltage or the mains plugs are different from those as supplied with your CD Player, please contact the appointed Roksan distributor for assistance. Please observe correct mains polarity at all times. The CD Player mains fuses are located on the rear panel next to the IEC mains connector. They must only be replaced by the fuse of the type and rating as described on the fuse rating label on the rear panel of the unit.

GENERAL CAUTIONS

Press the Open/Close Button (9) once to open the disc loading tray. Carefully load disc into the tray recess with the label side up. Press the button again to close the tray.
NOTE: Never load a disc until the drawer has opened fully, or try to close the drawer until you are sure that the disc is properly seated in the holder recess. Warped discs should never be played.
The drawer should only be opened using the front panel control. Under no circumstances should you attempt to open manually. If a disc is not inserted or if the disc is damaged or inserted upside down, the CD Player will re-main inoperative (display will indicate: no disc). When a disc has been loaded, your blak CD Player will briefly spin the disc while it studies the data encoded on it. The disc will then stop and the display will indicate the number of tracks on the disc and the total play time.
To commence playing a disc, press Play/Pause Button (7) once. The disc will play from the beginning. Press the Play/Pause Button (3) a second time to pause the disc whilst it is playing. Pressing the button again will resume playback from the point at which Pause mode was entered. In Pause mode, the disc continues spinning and the laser will still be operational but locked. Please try not to keep the CD Player in Pause mode no longer than strictly necessary.

SELECTING A TRACK

Press the Track Forward Button (6) to go to the next track on the disc. Pressing the Track Back But-ton (5) will take you to the previous track.

In Play mode press the Track Forward Button (6) to take you forward to the start of the next track. Once the procedure is complete the disc will commence playing from the selected track. When a disc is first loaded, you can use these buttons to select your desired track. Having done so, press the Play/Pause Button (7) and your disc will commence playing from the selected track. You may select a track when Pause is engaged. In this case, the disc will revert to Pause after the procedure is complete and you will have to press Play/Pause Button (7) to continue playing the disc.
