Additional Remote Control Functions
Direct Access Numeric Keypad
Press any numeric key 2( on the handset. The track number will appear on
the display and the CD8 will scan and play the selected track. If the disc has
more than ten tracks the CD8 will briefly wait for entry of a second digit when
appropriate.
When a program is stored, the keypad will enable access only to tracks
included in the program memory.
Display Control
Press the DISPLAY key 3$ on the handset to switch the display of the CD8
off. Pressing this key again restores the display to its normal mode. Switching
the display off stops the digital traffic required to update it and reduces the
load on the power supply. This improves the overall quality of the sound
without adversely affecting the normal functions of your CD8.
Phase Control
Absolute phase is determined by the audio system and the recording process.
Changes in absolute phase are subtle and are best established from the
listening position. The absolute phase of the audio signal can be changed
from the remote control using the PHASE key 3%. The display text area will
show the message 'Phase Normal' or 'Phase Invert'.
The performance of the CD8 is unaffected whether the signal is in normal or
phase inverted mode.
Note: When an external D/A converter is used, absolute phase correction is
not applied to the digital output. Phase correction must then be selected at the
D/A converter.
Time Display Selection
The TIME key 3^ features selection of two time display modes.
Mode 1
Elapsed time display 4). The time display will read the time
elapsed from the beginning of the current track.
Mode 2
Remaining time display 4! with minus sign. The time display reads
time remaining to the end of the disc or program if stored.
