Basic operations

Turning on the power

•By pressing SRC 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 disc, disc play 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 Radio Data System operations

•Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of Radio Data System 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. On the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Frequency Reception. (See page 13.)

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.

•KD-R203: MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.”

•KD-R203: 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.

16

•KD-R203: 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.

•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 temperature or high humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to the unit.
