MORE ABOUT THIS UNIT
Basic operations
• By pressing SRC on the unit, you can also turn on the
power. If the source is ready, playback also starts.
• 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
• During SSM search...
– All previously stored stations are erased and the
stations are stored anew.
– When SSM is over, the station stored in the lowest
preset number will be automatically tuned in.
• Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of Radio
Data System signals—PI (Programme Identification)
and AF (Alternative Frequency) to work 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, NetworkTracking Reception cannot be deactivated without
deactivating Alternative Frequency Reception.
