Audiolab CDT 6000 Owners: Share the Love + Need help with time settings for Pause

It's the main weak point of this otherwise excellent transport. According to the manual you can select the amount of pause time between 2 settings. Figuring out how to do that is not clear, but you press the button on the player repeatedly until you get the pause time you want, or Standby, or Never. However, once the time expires, it goes to Standby, where I would think it would simply start playing at the point it was paused. You can also select NEVER

It doesn't function the way I intuited it would. What I find is the Never setting means it will stop spinning the disc eventually, BUT, not go into Standby.

Once you scroll through to NEVER, simply stop scrolling and it does not go into Standby, but if you pause in the middle of a song, eventually it does stop spinning while returning to regular screen

The remote is not intuitive and the way the manual lists the remote features is pathetic

Quibbles aside, it is a huge improvement for me over using cd players as transports.

My 6000 is connected to an Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5 via a 1.5m Pangea Premier SE > LSA Voyager GaN 350 > Emerald Physics 3.4s. All electronics is connected to a Core Power 1800 balanced PLC into a 20 dedicated line

In this system, I have no need for a tube pre, and since my system is 100% true balanced, a balanced tube pre would cost a lot of money

It’s tricky for sure

After pressing the button for ~ 3 seconds, it will start scrolling through the options, as soon as your see NEVER, release the button

IF THAT DOESN"T WORK

after pressing the button for ~ 3 seconds, immediately/quickly press each option until you see NEVER then quickly release, then it should not default to Standby

FYI: I was listening last night, pushed pause, but when I hit play it went into sleep mode (dark display) and wouldn't come out of it. I've had a similar issue with my comcast cable remote when the batteries are too weak. I use rechargeable batteries, so I stuck them in my charging device and took them out after ~ 10 hours. I had to turn the dac off/on, but then all was well again

Mine's still working fine
