More about this unit

Basic operations
Turning on the power
- By pressing SRC on the unit, you can also turn on the power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.
Turning off the power
- If you turn off the power while listening to a track, playback will start from where it had been stopped previously next time you turn on the power.
General
- If you change the source while listening to a disc, playback stops. Next time you select “CD” as the playback source, playback will start from where it had been stopped previously.
- If the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again into the loading slot to protect it from dust.
- After ejecting a disc or removing a USB device, "No Disc" or "No USB" appears and you cannot operate some of the buttons. Insert another disc, reattach a USB device, or press SRC to select another playback source.
- If no operation is done for about 30 seconds after pressing the MENU button or control dial, the operation will be canceled.

Tuner operations
Storing stations in memory
- During SSM search... – All previously stored stations are erased and the stations are stored anew.
- When SSM is over, the station stored in the lowest preset number will be automatically tuned in.
- When storing a station manually, the previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.
FM Radio Data System operations
- Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of Radio Data System signals—PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency) to work correctly. Without receiving these data correctly, Network-Tracking Reception will not operate correctly.
- If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby Reception, the volume level automatically changes to the preset level (TA Volume) if the current level is lower than the preset level.
- When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated (with AF selected), Network-Tracking Reception is also activated automatically.

Disc/USB operations
Caution for DualDisc playback
- The Non-DVD side of a "DualDisc" does not comply with the "Compact Disc Digital Audio" standard. Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.
General
- This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA formats.
- When a disc is inserted upside down, "Please Eject" appears on the display. Press ▲ to eject the disc.
- In this manual, the words "track" and "file" are used interchangeably.
- While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3/WMA/WAV file, you can only hear intermittent sound.
- The file/folder list may not appear correctly if too many hierarchies and folders are used.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
- Use only "finalized" CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
- This unit can only play back files of the same type as those which are detected first if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.
- This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.
- Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for the following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
- Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens inside the unit.
— The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
- The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the "Packet Write" method.
- There are improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, warped, etc.).
- CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.
- Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or a protective seal stuck to the surface.
– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an ink jet printer.
