Random 1: To play all the tracks on a disc in random order, press the Random button h ONCE so that the R A N D O M indicator lights. The FL 8380 will play the tracks on the disc in an order selected by the unit�s microprocessor and stop play when all of the tracks have been played once. Random, All, Sequential: When the Random button h is pressed TWICE, the R A N D O M and S E Q U E N T I A L indicators will light. In this mode, all tracks on the current disc will be played in random order, and then the unit will advance to the next disc in order and play all tracks on that disc randomly. When each disc is finished, the next disc will play its tracks in random order until all discs have been played. After the last disc plays, the unit will stop. Random, All Tracks/Discs: When the Random button h is pressed THREE times, the R A N D O M , A L L and D I S C indicators will light. In this mode, the FL 8380 will select two tracks from the disc in use and play them randomly. After these two tracks play, another disc will be randomly selected and two tracks will play from that disc. This pattern of a randomly selected disc, and the play of two random tracks from each disc, will continue until all tracks on all discs have been played. At that point the unit will stop. Its high-quality digital-to-analog circuitry provides enhanced playback from all standard CD audio discs.

Play Exchange
The FL 8380�s Play Exchange feature allows you to change discs while the machine is playing. Using this feature, you can have uninterrupted play of an unlimited number of discs, since the drawer may be opened and discs changed while another disc is playing. To use the Play Exchange function, simply press the Open/Close button 6 at any time while the unit is in the Play mode. The disc drawer will open and two discs will be available for change. Replace either disc, or both, as desired. To reach the other two discs, press the Disc Skip button !n. You may now remove and change either of these two discs. When you have finished making any disc changes, press the Open/Close button 6. The drawer will close and play will continue with normal functions.

Time Display
The FL 8380�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 the CD that is currently being played. Each time the track changes, the time display will reset to and begin to increase again as the disc plays. To view the time remaining on an individual track, press the Time button k on the remote control ONCE. The display will now show the time left in the track currently playing. To view the total playing time remaining on a disc, press the Time button k on the remote control TWICE. In this Time Display mode the T R A C K indicator will show the tracks remaining, differing from the usual display of the track being played.

HDCD
HDCD, which stands for High Definition Compatible Digital®, is a sophisticated process that enables the FL 8380 to deliver outstanding digital-to-analog decoding, no matter what type of CD is played. When a disc with the HDCD logo is played, the FL 8380 is able to take advantage of the special recording process that is used in the creation of HDCD discs. Although HDCD discs are playable on any CD player, when they are used in a unit such as the FL 8380, the special circuitry delivers audio with extraordinary fidelity, stunning resolution and the highest possible overall quality. The HDCD process effectively cancels the additive and subtractive distortions that are present in other recordings. No special adjustment is required to play an HDCD disc. Simply play the disc as you would any other CD, and the FL 8380 will automatically sense that it is an HDCD recording. The indicator will light in the Information Display # on the front panel to remind you that an HDCD disc is playing. It is important to note that the HDCD process is completely compatible with standard recordings.

Headphone Listening
You may listen to the output of the FL 8380 through headphones by plugging any headphones with a 1�4" headphone plug or adapter into the front-panel Headphones Jack 3. The volume of the headphone output can be adjusted with the Headphones Level Control 4. Note that changing the headphone level will not change the volume for the main audio output. This is a fixed output and it is changed using the volume control on your receiver, preamplifier or surround processor.

Random Play
The FL 8380 includes three Random Play modes that enable you to let the machine select the tracks to be played in a random order. The Random modes may be started at any time by pressing the Random button h on the remote when the unit is already in Play mode.
