 REMOTE CONTROL CONNECTIONS
To control the DN-C680 remotely, refer to the example of remote control connections given below.

The rating of REMOTE connector pin 22 (TALLY POWER SUPPLY) is +5 V, 80 mA maximum.

Avoid currents in excess of the rating.

OPENING AND CLOSING THE DISC HOLDER AND LOADING DISCS

(1) Opening and closing the disc holder

• This operation only works when the power is on.
• Press the OPEN /CLOSE button to open or close the disc holder.
• The disc holders cannot be opened during playback to prevent playback from being interrupted if the OPEN/CLOSE button is pressed accidentally.
Stop playback, then press the OPEN/CLOSE button.
(2) Loading discs
• Hold the disc by the edges and place it in the disc tray, Do not touch the signal surface (the glossy side).
• When using 12cm discs, place the disc in the outer tray guides, and when using 8cm discs, place them securely in the inner guides.

CAUTION:
• Do not place any foreign objects in the disc tray, and do not place more than one disc in the disc tray at a time. Doing so may result in malfunction.
• Do not push the disc tray in manually when the power is off, as this may result in malfunction and damage the player.

The diagrams below show playback patterns when the PLAY/PAUSE

and STANDBY/CUE buttons are pressed.

(2) Starting Playback

When the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed, playback starts and proceeds as

shown by the arrow on the diagram above.
If the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed again during playback, the pause
mode is set at that point. Press the PLAY/PAUSE button again to resume
playback.

(3) Stopping Playback

When the STANDBY/CUE button is pressed after starting playback by

pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button, the pickup returns to the position at
which playback was started and prepares for the next playback.
Press the PLAY/PAUSE and STANDBY/ CUE buttons alternately to start
playback repeatedly from the same position.
This function is called "Back Cue".

• When a track is selected and the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed, • The speed can be changed within the range of -9.9 to +9.9%.
playback starts from the beginning of that track. To start from a
different position in the track, use the procedure described below
to find the desired position.

NOTE:
When the play speed (PITCH) is set, the display shows the set
pitch, but the disc is played at the standard speed until the
PITCH button is pressed (and the button is lit). When the play
speed is changed, the sampling frequency of the digital output
signal also changes, so it may not be possible to receive digital
signals.

15
(3) Playing a Specific Section of the Disc (A-B Play)

•Use this function to set the play start and end positions and only
play the desired section of the disc.
NOTE: The A-B play mode cannot be set unless the A point, B point
or both the A and B points are set.

NOTE:
The following happens if either the A or B point is not set:
• If only the A point is set, the B point is automatically set at
the end of the track for which the A point is set.
• If only the B point is set, the A point is automatically set at
the beginning of the track for which the B point is set.

If the playing time of the A-B section is shorter than the total
of the set fade in and fade out times, the fade in and fade out
settings are ignored.
When the B point is before the A point, the section from the B
point to the A point is played.

When presettings are made, the time display set with the TIME button, the play mode set with the PLAY MODE button and the finish mode set with the
FINISH MODE button at that time are stored in the memory. These modes will be set when the power is next turned on.

NOTE:
For CDR discs without TOCs, there are no pits (signals) at the disc's lead in and lead out sections, so errors may occur, particularly when searching
for tracks. If an error should occur, open the disc holder, then close it and perform the operation again.

(2) Presetting Procedure

• Functions can be preset using the buttons on the front panel.

• The presettings can also be set using serial remote signals (RS232C/RS422A1.
• Make the presettings with no disc loaded, in the stop or standby mode.

COMPACT DISCS

(1) Precautions on handling compact discs

• Do not allow fingerprints, oil or dust to get on the surface of the disc.
If the disc is dirty, wipe it off with a soft dry cloth.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, water, record spray, electrostatic-proof chemicals, or silicone-treated cloths to clean discs.
• Always handle discs carefully to prevent damaging the surface; in particular when removing a disc from its case or returning it.
• Do not bend the disc.
• Do not apply heat.
• Do not enlarge the hole in the center of the disc.
• Do not write on the label (printed side) with a hard-tipped implement such as a pencil or ball point pen.
• Condensation will form if a disc is brought into a warm area from a colder one, such as outdoors in winter. Do not attempt to dry the disc with a
hair dryer, etc.

(2) Precaution on storage

• After playing a disc, always unload it from the player.
• Always store the disc in the jewel case to protect from dirt or damage.
• Do not place discs in the following areas:
1) Areas exposed to direct sunlight for a considerable time.
2) Areas subject to accumulation of dust or high humidity.
3) Areas affected by heat from indoor heaters, etc.
