More about this unit

Basic operations

Turning on the power

ENGLISH

• By pressing SRC or AUX 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.

Tuner operations

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 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.

• If you want to know more about RDS, visit
<http://www.rds.org.uk>.

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/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs
(Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA
formats.

• MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are
used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.”

• When a disc is inserted upside down, “PLEASE” and
“EJECT appear alternately on the display. Press 0 to
eject the disc.

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

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 be played 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.

18

• 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.

More about this unit

Basic operations

Turning on the power

ENGLISH

• By pressing SRC or AUX 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.

Tuner operations

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 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.

• 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.
