[. . . ] NOTE: When using the accessory outlet on another product to power the PM650 VXI make certain that it has the compatibility to power a device that draws at least 20 watts of current in addition to being able to handle the requirements of the other devices that may be plugged into the accessory outlets. If you use a "switched" outlet, it is important to remember that the host product must be turned on in order for the PM650 VXI to operate. © INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS 9 Operation Loading Discs To load a disc, first turn the PM650 VXI on, using the Standby Switch 0. Note that the StatusMode Indicator 1 will turn green and the Information Display C will illuminate. The word d i s c will flash in the Information Display, and the disc tray will automatically turn clockwise so that the PM650 VXI can sense which, if any, of the disc positions already have a disc. To load a disc, first press the Open/Close button 5, taking care to make certain that the space in front of the drawer is not obstructed. Note that if the drawer is blocked when you attempt to open it, it will automatically close within five seconds to protect the mechanism. Load discs in the tray with the printed (label) side facing up toward you. Make certain that the disc is centered in the tray. Either 12cm (5") or 8cm (3") discs may be used. When a 8cm (3") disc is played, it should be carefully centered within the smaller ridges on the tray. Only one CD can be placed in any position at a time. To avoid damage to the disc and player, always seat discs so that they are centered in the tray. Do not lift the player while the disc tray is opening or closing, as this may cause the discs to unseat from the tray and possibly jam. Note: Always remember to remove all discs from the player before moving or repacking it.
