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.

Do you mean to tell me that on such an expensive cd player, you have to manually slide the cover closed? My very old Sony SCD 777ES sacd player does it automatically. Then again, they use their own transport, not some cheap Phillips pro plastic transport. IMHO, a player that expensive, should use a better transport like one of the Esoteric's.
