If the meter read zero regardless of the PITCH SLIDER'S (13) position, the PITCH (10) function is not activated. 43. TIME BAR INDICATOR -This bar visually details the time defined in the TIME METER (44, 45, & 46). As with the TIME METER (44, 45, & 46), this bar is also dependent on the selected time function REMAIN, TOTAL REMAIN, OR ELAPSED (39). This bar will begin to flash when 15 seconds of a track remain and will begin to rapidly flash when three seconds of a track remain. The flashing bar is a great visual reminder a track is about to end. The flashing bar will function regardless of which time mode the unit is in. 44, 45, 46. TIME DISPLAY -These indicators detail the Minutes, Seconds, and Frames. The meter will display either the elapsed, total, or remaining time of a track or disc. The time displayed in the meter will directly reflect the time indicator above TOTAL REMAIN, REMAIN, OR ELAPSED (39). 47. PROGRAM INDICATOR -This icon indicates "Program Mode" is activated. See Program Play on page 18 for more information on programing. ©American Audio® --CDG-350 Instruction Manual Page 12 LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY (LCD) TRACK INDICATOR -This double digit indicator details a current track.

Odd shaped, and oval CDs are not compatible. When loading a CD into the transport tray, always hold the disc by it edge (see Figure 8). Load the disc label side up and place it in the disc tray. Never touch the signal surface (the glossy side). To remove a disc from the tray press the EJECT BUTTON (7), see Figure 9. CAUTION: • NEVER attempt to load any other objects besides a 3" or 5" CD. • NEVER attempt to load more than one disc at a time. Doing so may result in sever damage to your unit. • NEVER force the transport tray open or closed when the power is off, as this may result in malfunction and damage the transport system. Figure 8 2. SELECTING TRACKS Select a desired track by using either of the two TRACK BUTTONS (16). Tapping the TRACK BUTTONS Figure 9 (16) once will select either a higher or lower track. You may hold down the TRACK BUTTONS (16) to change tracks continuously at a higher speed. If you are using the TRACK BUTTONS (16) to select a new track during playback (a track already playing) the new track you selected will immediately begin playback as soon as the search operation is completed. 3. STARTING PLAYBACK Insert an audio CD as described above (loading discs). Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (14) with an audio CD inserted will immediately start playback. The point at which playback starts (cue point) will automatically be stored in the memory as the cue point. The unit will return to this cue point (the point at which playback started) when the CUE BUTTON (15) is pressed. 4. STOPPING PLAYBACK Stopping playback will not stop the drive mechanism, but merely pause or cue the track. There are two ways to stop playback: 1) Press the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (14) during playback to pause at that point. 2) Press the CUE BUTTON (15) during playback to return the track to it’s last cue point. 5. PAUSING Pausing temporarily stops playback. Pressing the PLAY/PAUSE BUTTON (14) changes the operating mode between play and pause. 6. AUTO CUE This function will automatically set a cue point to the first audio source when a CD is loaded. The first set cue point will always be the beginning of track 1. If a new track is selected before the PLAY BUTTON (14) is pressed, a new CUE POINT will be set to reflect the new starting point. ©American Audio® --CDG-350 Instruction Manual Page 14 BASIC OPERATIONS BASIC OPERATIONS Figure 10 7.
