Compact Disc & Player Care Instructions  
In order to avoid sound degradation, the following instructions ought to be followed in caring for  
compact discs.  
• Always store discs in their cases when not being used.  
• When storing, avoid locations with high or low temperatures or high humidity. Do not store in  
direct sunlight.  
• Keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge to the outer  
periphery. If necessary, dip a soft cloth in water, and after wringing it out well, wipe any dirt away  
gently and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any cleaners or liquids, other than water,  
to clean discs.  
• When handling a disc, grip the outside part of the the disc in order to avoid touching the signal  
line.  
• Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the surface of the disc or the label on the disc.  
• Do not use compact discs with special shapes (such as heart-shaped or octagonal discs) as they  
may damage the player.  
Note:The CDC-3 will not play rewritable (CD-RW) discs, but will play recordable (CD-R) discs.

Introduction  
Bogen's CDC-3 is an excellent choice as a background music source for a variety of installations  
and for a variety of reasons.  
Uninterrupted Play  
The CDC-3 allows you to add or remove discs without having to stop play.The CD drawer holds  
three discs at a time and discs can be added or removed while another disc continues to play.  
Also, any background music source connected via the AUX input of the CDC-3, such as a tuner  
or tape player, will automatically be routed through the CDC-3 when the CDC-3 is in the stop  
mode or when turned off.  
Multiple Modes and Features  
The CDC-3 has multiple operating modes for a variety of different features.  
Depending on which mode is chosen, the CDC-3 can randomly shuffle selections for a single disc  
or for all discs loaded into the CD player.The CDC-3 can also scan each track from a single disc,  
or for all discs loaded into the CD player, and play an excerpt from each track for 10 seconds.  
Programming  
The CDC-3 permits the user to program up to 36 tracks from 1, 2, or all 3 discs.  
Other Features  
The Liquid Crystal Display can show a variety of running times, the current disc and track select-  
ed, how many discs are currently installed, what mode the CD player is in, and many other impor-  
tant and informative features.

Operation  
Loading and Removing Discs  
You can load up to three discs at a time.To load, remove, or replace a disc, press the DISC 1, DISC  
2, or DISC 3 button.This will open the CD drawer to the corresponding disc tray holder. Insert,  
remove, or replace the disc and then press the button again and the CD drawer will close.  
Note: Discs that are not currently being played may be removed during the operation of other dics. For  
example, you can remove Disc 2 while Disc 1 is playing. However, doing so while running a program will  
result in the program being erased.The CDC-3 will then continue playing only the disc that was playing at  
the time the CD drawer was opened.  
Play / Pause  
To play a disc, press the PLAY / PAUSE button.To pause, press the PLAY / PAUSE button a second  
time during playback.To return to regular playback, press the PLAY / PAUSE button a third time.  
The pause symbol (two vertical bars) will light up in the upper righthand corner of the liquid crys-  
tal display if the CDC-3 is in pause operation.  
Stop Play  
To stop play, press the STOP button. Once the STOP button is pressed, the disc will return to the  
first track on the disc.  
Selecting Discs  
Press the DISC button to switch from one disc to another.  
Modes of Operation  
There are five modes of operation: ONE, 1 DISC, 1 DISC INTRO, ALL, and ALL INTRO. Pressing the  
MODE button will cycle the CDC-3 between these modes under certain circumstances. The  
modes only affect regular playback operation, random playback, and intro playback.They have no  
impact on programming.  
ALL -When selected, this mode will result in the playback of every disc currently installed in the  
CDC-3, beginning with whichever disc is currently selected and continuing through all discs  
installed. If no disc is installed in a particular tray, the CDC-3 will skip that particular tray and con-  
tinue onto the next one. Once all installed discs have played, the CDC-3 will stop playing unless  
the REPEAT function is activated.  
ALL INTRO - In this mode, the CDC-3 will play a 10-second preview of each track on every  
disc installed.  
1 DISC -This mode limits playback operation to only the disc currently selected. Once that par-  
ticular disc is finished, the CDC-3 will stop playing. See Random Play Function, Introduction Function,  
and Repeat Function for further information on how 1 DISC affects those functions.  
1 DISC INTRO - In this mode, the CDC-3 will play a 10-second preview of each track on the  
disc selected.  
ONE - This mode is only applicable when using the REPEAT function.When REPEAT is selected  
and the mode ONE is selected, the CDC-3 will repeat a single track over and over again.

Operation  
Clear Function  
The Clear button only affects programming.After a track has been programmed into the memo-  
ry, the program in question (ex. P-01), can be cleared from memory. For more on this function,  
see Programming.  
Search Function  
The Search buttons are unlike the other buttons on the CDC-3 in that they must be held down  
rather than pressed and released to operate properly.When pressed down, the search buttons  
will fast forward or rewind the track that is currently being played. Once a button is released, the  
track will continue play from that point.  
Scan Function  
The Scan buttons change the selected track in single increments in numerical order in either  
direction (forward or backward) when the selected disc is or is not playing.  
Programming  
You can program up to 36 tracks from three separate discs in the order you want them to be  
played.The programmed sequence will remain in memory until the power is turned off or the CD  
drawer is ejected, at which time the program is cleared from memory and the unit must be repro-  
grammed.  
1. Begin by pressing MEMO.The display will show the disc number, track, and program number  
(P-01, for example).  
2. Press DISC to select from which disc to program your first track.  
3. Press SCAN until the number of the track you wish to program is displayed.  
4. Press MEMO.The disc, track, and program number are stored.The display will now show  
the next program number (P-02, for example).  
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each additional disc and track to be programmed.  
6. Once done, press STOP.  
7. Press PLAY to start the program.To play the program continuously, press the REPEAT button. If  
REPEAT is not selected, the program will stop playing after the last selection has played.  
Reviewing Programs  
It is possible to review the discs and tracks that have been programmed while still in the process  
of programming.  
1. Press the STOP button at any point in time while programming.  
2.Press the MEMO button repeatedly to scroll through each program number one at a time.Once  
you’ve scrolled through all of the programs you entered, repeat steps 2 through 4 under  
Programming to continue the programming process.  
Note: Programs will be stored in memory until the power to the unit is turned off or the CD drawer is  
ejected, at which time all programming will be cleared from memory.The user should be careful not to  
press the Disk 1, Disk 2, or Disk 3 eject buttons when selecting which disc to program from, but rather  
press the Disc button instead. Accidentally pressing the Disk 1, Disk 2, or Disk 3 eject buttons will clear  
the memory.

Operation  
Clearing and Changing Programs  
To clear a particular program, follow the directions for Reviewing Programs.When the particular  
program you wish to clear is displayed, press CLEAR.The program that follows it will then take  
its place. For example, if clearing P-04, P-05 will become P-04 once the original P-04 is cleared.  
It is also possible to change the program rather than clear it.When the particular program is dis-  
played, follow steps 2 through 4 under Programming to change the program. Once the new pro-  
gram has been stored, press MEMO repeatedly to scroll through the rest of the program or press  
PLAY to start the program.  
Random Play Function  
1. Begin by selecting the mode the CDC-3 is to operate in by pressing the MODE button.There  
are two choices: 1 DISC or ALL. Note: Selecting 1 DISC INTRO or ALL INTRO will result in the  
CDC-3 reverting to the 1 DISC or ALL mode since the Intro function is inoperable during Random Play.  
Intro modes are operable only for the Introduction function.  
2. Press the RANDOM button.The CD player will begin playing tracks randomly.  
3.To cancel the random function, press the RANDOM button again.The CDC-3 will continue  
playing the last track selected and go forward in numerical order to the next track on the disc.  
Introduction Function  
1. Begin by selecting the mode the CDC-3 is to operate in by pressing the MODE button.There  
are two choices: 1 DISC INTRO and ALL INTRO.  
2. Press PLAY.The CDC-3 will play each track for 10 seconds.  
3.To cancel, press the STOP button.  
DisplayTime Readout  
The Liquid Crystal Display can show three different running times:(1) the amount of time remain-  
ing on the track being played, (2) the amount of time elapsed on the track being played, or (3) the  
remaining time left on the disc in its entirety.  
Press the DISP button to change from one display to another.  
The time displayed is indicated by an S or T symbol appearing on the display or the lack of either  
symbol.When the S symbol appears, the amount of time remaining on the track being played is  
displayed.When the T symbol appears,the total amount of time remaining on the disc in its entire-  
ty is displayed. And, when no symbol appears, the elapsed time of the track being played is dis-  
played.  
When in program mode,the display will only show the program number (ex.,P-01) currently being  
played or the time elapsed on the current track being played. You can switch back and forth  
between the two displays by pressing the DISP button.  
Repeat Function  
The CDC-3 can repeat either a single track, an entire disc, or all of the discs installed.  
1. Start by pressing the REPEAT button.  
2. Press the MODE button to select ONE, 1 DISC, or ALL. ONE will repeat a single track. 1 DISC  
will repeat the entire disc and ALL will repeat all of the discs currently installed.  
3. Press the PLAY button. The repeat function can be terminated by either pressing the REPEAT  
button or by pressing the STOP button.

Connections  
AUX Input Connections  
The AUX input of the CDC-3 accepts a stereo cable with RCA plugs, thereby allowing the con-  
nection of an additional audio source.Whenever the CDC-3 is not playing a disc, the CDC-3 will  
play the AUX source.  
The CDC-3 volume control only affects the level of the CD playback signal.The CDC-3 volume  
control will not affect the volume level of the AUX source.  
To match the volume level of theAUX source with the CDC-3, set theAUX source’s volume con-  
trol (if it has one) and the amplifier volume to the desired level.Then, start the CDC-3 and adjust  
its volume control until it is approximately at the same level as the AUX source and amplifier.  
Output Connections  
The CDC-3 provides both a stereo output and a mono output. Select whichever output is suit-  
able for the particular installation. Connections are made using RCA cables.
