More about this unit Basic operations mn 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 offthe power + If you turn offthe power while listening to a dise, disc play will start from where playback has been stopped previously, next time you turn on the power. Selecting the sources + When no disc is loaded in the unit, “DISC” cannot be selected. Tuner operations nn Storing stations in memory + During SSM search... - All previously stored stations are erased and stations are stored newly. - 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, the volume level automatically changes to the preset level (TA VOL) 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. On the other hand, Network- ‘Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Frequency Reception. (See page 11.) If you want to know more about RDS, visit <httpi//www.rds.org.uko. Disc 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, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA format). + When a disc has been loaded, selecting “DISC” for the playback source starts disc play. Inserting a disc + When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc automatically ejects. + Do not insert 8 cm scs (single CD) and unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into the loading slot. | EN12-17_KD-G162 1[EX EUJiindd 14

Rx: | Playing a CD-R or CD-RW + Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs. + This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing. Some CD-Rs or CD-RWSs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for the following causes: - Dises are dirty or scratched. - Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit. — The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty. - CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are written with “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-RW is lower than that of regular CDs. Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs: -— Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck to the surface. - Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an ink jet printer. Using these discs under high temperatures or high humidities may cause malfunctions or damage to the unit. Changing the source If you change the source, playback also stops (without ejecting the disc). Next time you select “DISC” for the playback source, disc play starts from where it has been stopped previously. a disc + Ifthe ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again into the loading slot to protect it from dust. (Disc will not play this time.) General settings —PSM + If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from “HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the unit automatically changes the volume level to “VOL 30.” PTY codes NEWS, AFFAIRS, INFO, SPORT, EDUCATE, DRAMA, CULTURE, SCIENCE, VARIED, POP M (music), ROCK M (music), EASY M (music), LIGHT M (music), CLASSICS, OTHER M (music),
