More about this receiver

Basic operations

Turning on the power

•By pressing CD or FM/AM on the receiver, you can also turn on the power.

Turning off the power

•If you turn off the power while listening to a disc, disc play will start from where playback has been stopped previously, next time you turn on the power.

Inserting a disc

•When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc automatically ejects.

•Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into the loading slot.

Playing a disc

•While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

Tuner operations

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, a 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, NetworkTracking Reception will not operate.

•If a Traffic Announcement is received, the volume level (TA Volume) automatically changes to the preset level.

Disc operations

General

•This receiver has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/ CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA format.

•When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD” for the playback source starts disc play.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

•Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

•This receiver can play back only the files of the same type which is first detected if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.

•This receiver 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 receiver because of their disc characteristics, and for the following causes:

–Discs are dirty or scratched.

–Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the receiver.

–The pickup lens inside the receiver 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 (stain, scratch, warp, 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 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 damages to discs.

Changing the source

•If you change the source, playback also stops (without ejecting the disc).

Next time you select “CD” for the playback source, disc play starts from where it has been stopped previously.

Ejecting a disc

•If the ejected disc is not removed within

15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again into the loading slot to prevent 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 receiver automatically changes the volume level to “VOL 30.”
