The Apart PCR3000RMKII is a professional multisource CD/USB/SD-card music player with integrated FM RDS and DAB+ tuner, equipped with multiple independent analog outputs, coaxial and optical digital output for the CD/USB/SD player and a RS232-port for use in integrated systems.
The maximum analog output level can be preset at the back to match the output level of other audio sources. Additionally there is a combi output available. This output will play the music from the CD/USB/SD player by default. When there is no media playing from the CD/USB/SD player, the output will automatically switch to the tuner (FM or DAB+) output after a few seconds, provided that the tuner is not in standby mode.
There is a USB and SD-card slot on the front and another USB-input on the back of the unit (to avoid people from taking the memory stick out). The total number of tracks is enormous, because you can plug in devices carrying up to 9.999 tracks.
The unit has an operation mode switch at the back to choose between Auto Play and Cue. When the PCR3000RMKII is in Auto Play mode, the unit will always start playing automatically when it’s powered on. In Cue mode the unit will wait for a play command after powered up, or when it’s in stop or pause mode. This function allows a track to be selected without starting to play automatically.
The PCR3000RMKII can be controlled by the front panel controls, infrared remote (included) or RS232-commands. A list with the available RS232-commands is included in the manual. If you wish to control the unit using a third party infrared remote control unit, use the learn function on your third party remote to transfer the commands from the included remote. The CD/USB/SD player has an additional digital volume control, which can be operated via the infrared remote or via serial control.
