Special features

ENGLISH

Room Equalizer feature

This model is equipped with Room Equalizer, which automatically creates your best listening environment according to your room, speakers position, etc. In addition to technical knowledge, generally, a great deal of time and work are spent finding the best listening position such as changing speakers or furniture position while listening to the sound. This function enables you to simply create it in a short time without laborious settings.

Digital Sound Equalizer feature

This model is equipped with Digital Sound Equalizer by Digital Sound Processing, which makes more detailed sound adjustments possible.

Playback capability of CD-R and CD-RW discs

This model can playback music data recorded in CD-R (Compact Disc Recordable) and CD-RW (Compact Disc Rewritable).

However, some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be playable on the CD player depending on the recording characteristics of the recording equipment (including the pick-up), properties of the CD-R or CD-RW in use, its recording condition and so on. Also note that a CD-R or CD-RW disc which has not been finalized cannot be played back.

Versatile timer features

÷Timer playback :

Two timer programs (PROG 1, PROG 2) are available for timer playback (AI timer playback). (With the AI timer playback, the playback volume increases gradually after the start of timer playback.)

÷Sleep timer :

This timer turns the unit off automatically when the set time has elapsed. It is convenient for example, falling asleep while listening to music in the night time, etc.

RDS (Radio Data System) tuner

This model is equipped with an RDS tuner that provides several convenient tuning functions: RDS Auto Memory, to automatically preset up to 40 RDS stations broadcasting different programs; station name display, to show you the name of the current broadcast station; and PTY search to let you tune stations by program type.

PTY (Program Type) search

Tune the stations by specifying the type of program you want to hear.
