I purchased the unit from a private party and the original owners manual was not available. Having the ability to download it was extremely helpful and clarified operating the equipment immensely. This is a complicated unit and without the manual I would not have been able to maximize it's potential. Thank you.
Being a user of older radios of many kinds, preferring them over more modern rigs, this manual was invaluable in the programming of my two. I now know for certain what the assorted buttons functions are, and am very grateful to have found this excellent site. Many thanks for your assistance, Tony.
5 star quality on these downloadable manuals. Easy to read and all the information is there. A must when doing a custom install or needing to service your precious old school electronics.

Advanced Operations
LOOPING: A loop is any area of a CD that you choose to repeat with no breaks. On the
CDN-88 two seamless loops are possible. There are 3 buttons associated with the loop feature.
CDN-88 Dual CD Player
LOOP IN:
The �LOOP IN� is where you wish for the loop to actually start. The initial �CUE� point of the CD is also the default �LOOP IN� point for both loops or �Hot Start� point. If you wish to set a new �LOOP IN� point, just while the CD is playing when it reaches the desired point. The �LOOP IN� LED will light indicating a new loop is set. The �Hot Start� LED will also illuminate indicating a point has been set and is accessible. By default the �LOOP IN� also becomes the �STUTTER� or �Hot Start� point.
or NOTE: The CD Player will always remember a new set point as the �LOOP IN� or �Hot Start� point until you actually set a new �LOOP IN� point or put in a new CD. The new point will be accessible until you remove the CD from the unit. If you change tracks and you previously set a �Loop In� on another track, pressing will jump to that point.
LOOP OUT:
The �LOOP OUT� determines the end point for a loop. The first time you press while a CD is in play mode, the �LOOP OUT� LED will turn on and flash while the song automatically returns to the �LOOP IN� point with no breaks and continues to play. When the song reaches the �LOOP OUT� point again it returns to the �LOOP IN� point and continues to repeat this action. You will notice the �LOOP IN� LED will also be flashing during loop action. To release or end the LOOP press a second time and play will continue forward when the song passes the previously set �LOOP OUT� point. The �LOOP OUT� LED will be lit solid indicating that the �LOOP� is now in memory for �RELOOP� purposes.
Note: The �LOOP OUT� point will be erased if �LOOP IN� is pressed or a new �CUE� point is set after the �LOOP OUT� point. This is important because without this point �RELOOP� will not be possible.
