More about this unit

Basic operations

Turning on the power

• By pressing SRC button 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.

General

• If you change the source while listening to a disc,
playback stops.

Next time you select “CD” as the playback source,

playback will start from where it had been stopped
previously.

• After ejecting a disc, “NO DISC” appears and you

stations are stored anew.

– When SSM is over, the station stored in the lowest

preset number 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 14.)

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 detected first if a disc includes both audio CD
(CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.

ENGLISH

• This unit can play back multi-session discs; however,
unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

– 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 a protective seal stuck

to the surface.
– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an

ink jet printer.
