Audio Research CD7 sliding cover - How it works?


Hi, I wonder if someone could share your experience operating the ARC CD7 player. In particular, how are you supposed to close the sliding CD cover after you load a CD into the player?

Do you just slide horizontally? Or, you're supposed to lift (pull up) the handle on the sliding cover a little bit in order to close the cover fully?

By design, the shape of the handle (inverted trapezoid)suggests that it should be pulled up a bit when pulling.

Thanks for your help.

Mine just slides closed. I prefer a manual sliding cover. With an automatic sliding cover, you've got more moving parts and more things that can wear out and more things that can go wrong. AR got it right by using a manual closing cover. It is simple, efficient and it works.
