Operation

Time Display

The CD player’s time display is capable of showing a wide range of information about

a CD.

In normal operation the display will show the total running time of a CD after the disc is

ﬁrst put in the unit. When the disc is played, the display will show the running time of a

track in play. Each time the track changes, the time display will reset to 00:00 and

begin to increase again as the new track plays.

To view the time remaining on an individual track, press the

Time

button n on the

remote once. The display will now show the time left in the track in play, and a “–” will

light in front of the time display as a reminder of the display’s status.

To view the elapsed time of the disc currently playing, press the

Time

button n

again.

To view the total time remaining to play on the disc, press the

Time

button n again, a

number greater than the formerly shown track remaining time (except the last track of

the disc is played) will appear in the display, again with a “–” in front.

When the Time button is pressed again the display will return to show the running time

of the track in play.

Note

: When a program is played (see page 11), all time modes are selectable, too, except

the total time remaining on the disc.

The Time mode is not available when playing back discs containing compressed MP3

data.

other information from discs containing MP3 data. Please note that not all CDs contain

CD-text. In that case, the Main Information Display will show “No CD-Text” and will

return to the Time mode previously selected. If you play back a CD that contains CD-text

information the Text indicator will light in the

tracks. In order to ﬁnd the right track within these hundreds of tracks, the CD player lets

you skip through the contents of your disc in steps of 10 tracks. Press the

10 tracks remaining on the disc, the last track will be played. Press the

tracks since the beginning of the disc, the ﬁrst track will be played.

Input/Source Selection

A unique feature of the HD 990 is that it allows other source components to be played

back using the high-grade audiophile digital-to-analog convertors inside the CD player.

Especially source components using older and less powerful convertors will beneﬁt from

this feature.

Connect the coaxial or optical digital output of the external source component to the

oaxial or Optical Digital Inputs 5

on the rear panel of the CD player.

In order to select the external source component for playback, press the

Source Button

s. The ﬁrst press of this button will show the input currently played, indicated by

“Player” for the CD player, “Coaxial In” (Digital in 1) or “Optical In” (Digital in 2). Within

2 seconds, press the

Source Button

s again until the requested source has been

selected.

Note that in order to hear the sound from the external source when connected via the

HD 990, the input of your ampliﬁer or receiver should be the one to which the HD 990

is connected.

Important Note

: The player will only output 2-channel PCM signals. Neither multi-

channel Dolby Digital or DTS nor their 2-channel downmix signals will be.
