Turning on/off the BBE function
R
U
The BBE* function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording,
broadcasts, etc.
When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing
high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBE
function adjusts the phase relationship between the low , mid and high frequencies b y adding
a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies
reach the listener’s ears at the proper time.
In addition, the BBE function boosts low and high frequencies, which loudspeakers tend to be
less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation. When combined
with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer, more finely detailed
“live” presence.

Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the CD player may malfunction. In this case, eject the CD and leave the
unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.
CAUTIONS:
• Do not insert 8cm (3 3/16") CDs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such CDs cannot be
ejected.)
• Do not insert any CD of unusual shape — like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a
malfunction.
• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or any heat sour ce or place them in a place subject to high
temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in a car.
• Do not use any solvent (for example, con ventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.)
to clean CDs.
About mistracking:
Mistracking may result from driving on e xtremely rough roads. This does not damage the
unit and the CD, but will be annoying.
We recommend that you stop CD play while driving on such rough roads.
