USER’S MANUAL ARIA
Dear Customer, Thank you for purchasing ARIA. This unit provides ease of use and sonics of the highest quality. Please pay close attention to this instruction manual, and read it fully before attempting to operate. It is designed to ensure that you maximise your pleasure of ARIA and familiarise you with its many unique functions. CHECKING INSTALLATION Check that the carton has no damage. Should you have any doubt about its condition, please do not hesitate to contact your dealer.
POWER UP PLAY You may now turn on ARIA by switching the ON/OFF switch located at the back of the unit. A message “ARIA” is written for a second. Open the cover and place a disc. Be careful to place correctly the puck at the centre.
SEARCH ABSOLUTE PHASE A long pressure on the PREV key will allow you to search for a passage in reverse direction whereas a long pressure on the NEXT key will allow you to search for a passage in the forward direction. The time that you continue to press the key determines the speed of the search. For the first five seconds the output volume is reduced, then the search speed is increased and the sound is muted because the jumps are too big to deliver an accurate audio signal.
A/B REPEAT OTHER AVAILABLE FUNCTIONS RC5 - system 20 - command 59 Those functions are neither on the keys of ARIA nor the remote but can however be accessed with a programmable remote. Press the A-B key while in play at the starting point of the passage that you wish to repeat. The display indicates: For people willing to program such a remote, we indicate under the title of each function the code used, the system and command numbers.
