DISPLAY The display provides information about disc play back status and about the laser pickup's locat ion on the disc . The disp layed information is obtained by reading inaudible "sub-codes" in the disc . TRACK/ INDEX NUMBER Each disc is seg mented into numbered tracks when the record is made; typica lly each numbered track will correspond to a d ifferent song, symphonic movement, etc. These track numbers are identified on the CD package and are encoded in the disc by its manufacturer.

When the player is in STOP mode, the Track number is O. In the upper-left corner of the display, the word DISC glows during normal operation; it vanishes when you load a disc that can't be read (because it is dirty or was loaded upside-down) . "RMS" glows above the track number when there is a program stored in memory . REPEAT 1 glows in the upper-right corner during Repeat-Play of a single track. REPEAT glows during Repeat -Play of the entire program or disc.

REMOTE RECEIVER (5425 only). This window contains an infrared sensor that re ceives commands from the remote control. The re must be a clear line-o f-sigh t path from the remote control to this window ; if that path is obstructed , the remote contra I may not work. REMOTE CONTROL (5425 only) A wireless remote control is provided with the 5425, enabling you to operate playback tunctions from the comfort of your chair or from virtually anywhere in the room. For reliable operation there should be a clear line-of· sight path from the remote control to the front olthe CD player. If Ihe player does not respond to remole commands, it may be that this line -of -sight path is obstructed by clothing , paper, or furnish ings. The PLAY/PAUSE and SKI P/SCAN functions , which are combined on dual -function buttons on the front panel, have been separated into indiv idual buttons on the remote control, for greater convenience. Thus you can tap one of the remo te SCAN buttons briefly. to move the plckup forward or back in the music by just a few seconds , without triggering the SKIP function. After you press PAUSE to interrupt play , you cannot resume play by pressing the remote PLAY button . You must press PAUSE again to release the pause function and resume play.
