More about this unit

Basic operations

Turning on the power

- By pressing SOURCE 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.

- 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 SOURCE to select another playback source.

FM/AM/RDS

Storing stations in memory

- During SSM search...

– All previously stored stations are erased and the stations are stored anew.

– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).

- When SSM is over, the station stored in No. 1 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 RDS operations

• Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of RDS 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.
• If you want to know more about RDS, visit http://www.rds.org.uk.

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 OPEN, then ▲ to eject the disc.
• In this manual, words "track" and "file" are interchangeably used.

• While fast-forwarding or reversing on MP3/WMA/WAV files, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

• File/folder list may not appear correctly if too many hierarchies and folders are used.

• If the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again into the loading slot again to protect it from dust. Playback starts automatically.

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.

Using these discs under high temperature or high humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to the unit.
