Initial Operation; A) Switching On; B) Inserting Cd Into Compartment - Conrad CDX-10 Bedienungsanleitung

10. Initial operation

Start operating the device only after you have familiarized yourself with the functions and this
operating manual. Check again that all connections are correct. Do not put the product into
operation if it is damaged.
The amplifier for this equipment should always be the last to be turned on and the first to be
turned off. This prevents undesired noises (that can arise when turning the CD player off) that
can also damage the amplifier and the loudspeakers.
Make sure that the connected devices are not overloaded. The playback should not be distorted
under any circumstances. If the music signal is distorted despite the amplifier being on a low
volume, switch the CD player off immediately and check all connections. If you can find no
errors in the connection, please contact a specialist.
The device may only be operated by persons familiar with the operating instructions. Keep
other persons and children away from the CD player.
a) Turning the player on
• Turn the volume control of the connected amplifier right down.
• The CD player is turned on via the mains switch (24).
• Then turn a mixing desk, if connected, on and lastly the amplifier unit.
b) Inserting a CD
• Open the CD compartment (22) by pressing OPEN/CLOSE (3). The word „OPEN" appears on the display.
• Place an audio CD with the written side (label side) face upwards in the CD drawer. Always hold a CD on the outer
edge and avoid touching the surface of the underside.

The CD player is designed to play back standard audio CDs, CD-Rs and CD-RWs. Do not insert any
other CDs. Do not insert any damaged CD into the player; the high rotation speed may cause it to shatter
and damage the device. Make sure that the CD is positioned correctly on the CD tray. Do not insert more
than one CD.
Never interfere with the motor-driven movement of the CD disk drive drawer. Do not close the CD
compartment by pressing on it, this damages the mechanics and could lead to malfunctioning.
• Close the disc drive drawer again by pressing on the OPEN/CLOSE-button (3).
• The LC display shows the total amount of tracks and the total CD playing time, for approx. 2 seconds.
• Afterwards, the device automatically sets the CUE mark at the starting point of the music of the first track on the
CD and enters pause mode.

The CD compartment can not be opened during play mode. This prevents any unforeseen interruptions
to playback. Before pressing the OPEN/CLOSE button (3), stop playback.
