IMPORTANT NOTE
Since the CD-240 is a dual CD player, most of the functions and controls are duplicated on both sides of the CD player. To eliminate confusion and to make the drawings easier to understand, we will only number the right side functions and controls. The only controls that are not duplicated are the ROBO START (1), POWER (20) switch and the VOLTAGE SELECTOR SLIDE (22) switch.

TIME: The TIME BUTTON (2) switches the time display between the three available choices listed under DISPLAY. CUE: With the unit in the play mode (play/pause LED glows green), and after the cue point has been memorized, pressing the CUE BUTTON (15) will cause the CD player to enter the pause mode (play/pause LED blinks green) at the memorized cue point (the cue LED glows yellow). If the cue point was not memorized, the unit will return to the beginning of the track. Holding down the cue button changes the cue function to PREVIEW (allowing you to hear the music play at whatever tempo you adjusted to by holding the cue button down). Releasing the cue button returns you to the preset cue point. CUE/B EXIT: After the cue point is memorized, pressing the CUE/B (10) button in the play mode, (the cue LED BLINKS yellow), repeats the section between the cue point and the point where the CUE/B (10) button was pressed (there will be a slight delay between the end and the restart of play). Press the CUE/B (10) button again or pause play to EXIT the repeating play. CUE/B RETURN: Press the CUE/B RETURN (11) button to return to the beginning of the previously saved CUE/B from normal play. SINGLE-AUTO CUE/CONTINUOUS: Pressing the SINGLE-AUTO CUE/ CONTINUOUS (3) button activates the AUTO CUE FUNCTION. The AUTO CUE FUNCTION causes the unit to pause at the beginning of music of the following track and allows you to start play immediately from
the start of music without any blank space (which exists at the beginning of every track). Pressing the SINGLE-AUTO CUE/CONTINUOUS (3) button a second time activates the CONTINUOUS function causing the unit to play continuously (after the last track, the unit will return to the first track of the disc and continue to play). Pressing the SINGLE-AUTO CUE/CONTINUOUS (3) button a third time deactivates the CONTINUOUS function.

LINE VOLTAGE SELECTION
Model CD-240 is a dual voltage unit. It will operate at 115 or 230 volts. To set the proper voltage follow these steps: 1. Place the head of a screw driver in the center of the VOLTAGE SELECTOR SLIDE (22) switch found on the rear panel. 2. Slide the switch left for 115 volts or push the switch right for 230 volts. 3. Do not force or twist the switch. Excessive force may cause damage. If the switch does not move smoothly, contact a qualified technician.

CONNECTIONS
1. Using the included cable, plug one end into the REMOTE JACK (21) and the other end into the PLAYER JACK (23). 2. Plug one end of a set of RCA connectors into each of the LINE OUTPUT (25) jacks. 3. Plug the other end of the RCA connectors into any available line level input jacks on your mixer. If you are playing the CD-240 through a receiver, you can plug the RCA connectors into the CD or AUX input jacks on your receiver. If there are no CD or AUX inputs, use any line level (not phono) inputs.
