[. . . ] O W N E R ' S M A N U A L C/DC-1500 Compact Disc Changer-Transport Thank you for your purchase of this Parasound component. It is among the finest compact disc changers available.

A hybrid 1 bit/18 bit D-A converter, 8x oversampling, independent power supply regulation and premium parts assure natural reproduction at any listening level. [. . . ] If you are listening to a track, pressing the button once will return play to the beginning of that same track. Disc Skip This button selects the next disc for play and rotates the carousel each time it is pressed whether the carousel drawer is open or closed. Use this button to load discs in the STOP or PLAY mode. Search This is an audible fast review or fast forward cue to assist you in finding a specific segment within a given track. Stop This stops the disc and disengages the laser operation. Once you've pressed STOP, when you press PLAY again, the changer will start current track again a few seconds after the changer "reads" the disc. -3- Operating Your C/DC-1500 Loading Discs To load discs, press the OPEN/CLOSE button. Next, load the disc(s) in the carousel label side up. Advance the carousel with the DISC SKIP button to load up to 5 discs. The carousel is exposed so you can change two discs without interrupting the disc currently in play. If you press the DISC SKIP button while doing this, the disc in play will stop playing and the carousel will rotate to the next disc tray. CAUTION: Be patient while loading discs. Don't try to load discs before the carousel drawer has fully opened or try to close it before you are certain the discs are properly seated. If your C/DC-1500 tries to close the carousel drawer with discs only partially in place, it may ruin a disc. Do not try to play a warped disc; it may interfere with the carousel's operation. Starting Disc Play After loading, press the DISC NUMBER on the remote or DISC SKIP on the front panel to select the disc you want to play. Next, press PLAY and the selected disc will start playing on TRACK 1. After initial turn-on, the unit will start playing TRACK 1 on DISC 1 unless otherwise selected. Selecting Specific Discs and Tracks To select a specific track on any disc, press DISC NUMBER on the remote or DISC SKIP on the front panel to select the disc you want to play. Next, select the desired track with the TRACK NUMBER or the TRACK SKIP buttons on the remote control or front panel. Display Panel Your C/DC-1500 comes equipped with a display panel to show the disc and track in play and elapsed time. The display panel will also indicate the status of the C/DC-1500's special functions such as REPEAT, MEMORY, INTRO SEARCH, SHUFFLE, and the MUSIC CALENDAR. The following drawing illustrates all the functions within the display panel.
