What to Do First Once you have read through this page, read "Principles of Operation" (page 6), then go ahead and connect up the Multi Disc Player to your television and/or stereo system using the connection diagrams on pages 11, 12 and 13. After you have done this, you will be ready to play a disc. We suggest an LD or CD. Begin with the section, "How to Load and Play an LD (or a CD)". The Principles of Operation Beyond the play of discs, the functions of the Multi Disc Player range from simple to advanced. Some functions vary depending on what type of disc (laser disc, compact disc, or compact disc video) you are playing. Nevertheless, keep in mind that the majority of the buttons have been designed to achieve a comparable effect for each type of disc you are playing. Therefore, the following paragraphs can briefly summarize what the basic Multi Disc Player functions allow you to do. (Control names that differ from the function name appear in uppercase letters.) Primary Functions are so-called because they entail the traditional functions of all disc players. Variable Speed group operations according to the fact that they let you vary play speed, therefore, easily locate ("search") scenes or tracks as you watch or listen. Repeatable Functions are memory functions that let you play selections repeatedly, according to a play list or randomly. Playback can be started from the point you stopped. Because the system finds and plays selections according to your request, some repeatable functions also serve as "search" functions. Auxiliary Functions are additional functions that simply add to what you can do with the Multi Disc Player.

What
to
Do
First
Once
you
have
read
through
this
page,
read
"Principles

Operation"
(page

then
go
ahead
and
connect
up
the
Multi
Disc
Player
to
your
television
and/or
stereo
system
using
the
connection
diagrams
on
pages
11,
12
and
13.
After

have
done
this,
you
will

the

depending
on
what
type
of
disc
(laser

compact
disc,

Nevertheless,
keep
in
mind
that
the
majority
of
the
buttons
have
been
designed
to
achieve
a
comparable
effect
for
each
type
of
disc
you
are
playing.

the
following
paragraphs
can
briefly
summarize
what
