You can also key in the time using the *1-0' digit keys; for a

FAULTS AND THEIR LIKELY CAUSES
If a fault occurs, run through the points listed below before taking
your player for repair. Check whether:
— condensation has formed on the lens of the laser due to a
dramatic change in temperature; this will disappear automatically
after some time;
— the CD has been inserted correctly with the printed side up and
that there is a CD in the compartment;
— the CD is dirty, badly scratched or warped;
— the player has been connected to the PHONO socket of the
amplifier.
If the fault remains, try to clear it by switching the player off and on
again.
If this also fails to help, consult your dealer.
Under no circumstances should you repair the player yourself,
as this will invalidate the guarantee!
