PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The three sources
Whenever you approach the BeoSound
Century, the glass door slides open, and
all the relevant buttons light up with an
invitation for you to play one of the
music sources: the CD player, the radio,
or the tape recorder…
The top section of the system holds the tray for
compact discs. The compact disc is kept in place by
a clamp, which can be raised and lowered by
pressing the LOAD button (top right-hand
button).
The bottom section is for tape cassettes. The tape
recorder adjusts automatically to the type of tape
you are using: ferro or chrome.
The BeoSound Century radio only becomes visible
when it is being used. You will see all the buttons
for radio operation light up, and – with a P – the
display indicates that a radio program is playing.
The middle-section of the system contains the
display and all the buttons you need for operating
the system. For further information, see pages 8 -
9.
