Operation
The RCD-991 can be operated using its front panel buttons or
from corresponding buttons on the supplied infrared remote con-
trol. Specific instructions for each of these controls are detailed
below. Some of the buttons are duplicated on the front panel and
on the IR remote control. However, there are many instances
where the buttons are only available on one or the other. These
are noted in the following instructions.
Infrared Remote Control
Before using the IR remote control, it is necessary to install two
"AAA" batteries (supplied). Remove the plastic cover on the
back of the IR remote, install the batteries (observing the + and –
polarity indications), and reinstall the cover.
To use the IR remote control, aim it at the IR sensor located on
the front panel of the RCD-991.
Display

A lighted DISPLAY on the front panel of the RCD-991 provides
useful information about the status of the unit, activation of spe-
cial features, and track/time information for the disc being
played. Each of these indicators is described in the detailed op-
erating instructions that follow.

A motor-driven disc drawer, located in the center of the RCD-991,
slides out to accept a compact disc and retracts to play the disc.
Place the compact disc in the drawer label-side up. Make sure
the disc is properly centered in the tray.
The drawer can be closed in two ways: pushing the
OPEN button or pushing the PLAY button.

These buttons are used to select tracks on the disc. When a

These buttons are also used to select a track before pressing

GRAM play mode (see below). These selections are made by
continuously pressing the TRACK buttons until the desired
track is reached.
In PROGRAM mode, the TRACK buttons advance or reverse
to the next track in the memorized selection list.
