American Audio Radius 1000 Table top CD player. Vid 1

0:00 Quite privileged and pleased to do this video

Alright folks, Jonathan here. Quite privileged and pleased to do this video. It's on a new piece of kit from American Audio. There's only one of these items in the world that's outside of the company and I've got it and it's down here. Also, I want to tell you as well, I haven't got the manual so I've had to work my way around it without the manual and so far it's relatively self-explanatory. So in this video, and yes, I've still lost my voice, it's coming back slowly. I'm going to show you one of the features that I quite like about this piece of kit, so I'm going to pause the camera and we'll have a look. OK, here it is, it's a tabletop CD player. Now this particular item was featured world exclusive in the BPM show Castle Donington 2008. It's known as the Radius 1000. Now very quickly as well, let's say for example you're at a gig and one of your CD players stops working.

1:20 Let's play track number one first of all

Well then, of course, what happens is you've probably got to do something like this. Let's say we press play. We've got that track playing and then let's say you want to play track number three. Well, of course, let's say for example this one finishes, you know, and then, you know, you've got to spend time trying to get to track number three and then when you get to track number three, you know, cue, play, pause, whatever, press play, but of course the whole idea or what I'm trying to explain there is you've got a bit of a time gap. In other words, you've got a complete gap and people are looking at you as though you're a bit of a muppet. But what you can do with this, let me show you. What I'm going to do now is just get a little bit closer to the top left-hand corner. OK, right, let's play track number one first of all. I'm now going to press play pause. Right, what we're going to do here, can you see we've got a button with A, D, V. I'm going to press that. Now at the moment we're playing track three.

2:29 A very quick video on this piece of kit here

What I'm going to do now is scroll, say, to track number five. What I'm gonna do now is press this button here, which has got folder above it. Now, it's found track five. So if we scroll out, I'm not gonna touch down here. Gonna concentrate on that top corner. So imagine now you've only got the one CD player left. Have a listen. Straight through to track number five. Now, I do like that feature a lot. A very quick video on this piece of kit here. And by the way, I'm going to dedicate this video to a YouTube user by the name of Joe Havaya. I think I've got that right. JoeHavaya11. His name is Lloyd, alright? So I hope I've got that right. Anyway, piece of kit here is called the Radius 1000 by American Audio and loads more to come. Practice and enjoy.
