The CD8 remote control, included with your compact disc player, allows you to operate playback functions from the comfort of your chair or anywhere in the room. For reliable operation, ensure there is a clear line-of-sight path from the remote control to the front of the CD player. If the player does not respond to remote commands, the line of sight may be obstructed by clothing, paper, or furnishings.
Most of the buttons on the remote control have the same functions as the corresponding buttons on the player's front panel. The following function keys are further described.
