CUE: With the unit in the play mode (play/pause LED glows green), and  
after using the SEARCH BUTTONS (7) to memorize the cue point,  
pressing the CUE BUTTON (11) 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 memo-  
rized, 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.  
LINE VOLTAGE SELECTION  
Model CD-9500 PRO III is a dual voltage unit. It will operate at 115 or 230  
volts. The unit is preset at the factory to 115 volts. To set the proper  
voltage follow these steps:  
CUE/B REPEAT: After the cue point is memorized, pressing the CUE/B  
BUTTON (12) in the play mode, (the cue LED BLINKS yellow),  
repeats the section between the cue point and the point where the  
CUE/B BUTTON (12) was pressed (there will be a slight delay  
between the end and the restart of play).  
1. Place the head of a screw driver in the center of the VOLTAGE  
SELECTOR SLIDE SWITCH (17) found on the rear panel.  
2. Slide the switch left for 115 volts or push the switch right for 230  
volts.  
SINGLE: Pressing the SINGLE (15) button will activate single mode and  
the AUTO CUE FUNCTION which causes the unit to play one track  
at a time and to stop at the beginning of music of the following track.  
This allows you to start play immediately from the start of music  
without any blank space (which exists at the beginning of every  
track).  
3. Do not force or twist the switch. Excessive force may cause  
damage. If the switch does not move smoothly, contact a qualified  
technician.

on side 2 and the other end into the PLAYER JACK (19) also on side  
2. Do the same for side 1.  
CONTINUE: The CONTINUE (16) function will cause the unit to play  
continuously (after the last track, the unit will return to the first track  
of the disc and continue to play).  
2. Plug one end of a set of RCA connectors into each of the LINE  
PITCH: Pushing the PITCH BUTTON (13) activates the pitch section of  
the unit (pitch LED glows red). The pitch of the CD will change  
according to the position of the PITCH CONTROL (13). Pushing the  
PITCH BEND BUTTONS (14) will temporarily raise or lower the pitch  
without changing the slide setting. Releasing the buttons will return  
the pitch to the slide setting. Maximum pitch deviation is +/- 8 %.  
OUTPUT JACKS (18).  
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-9500 PRO III  
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.  
DIGITAL OUTPUT JACK: Connecting any type of DAT, MD, HARD  
DRIVE, or other such items which accept digital signals to the BNC  
OUTPUT CONNECTOR (21) on the rear panel of the transports  
allows you to record a digital signal from CD.
