Functional restrictions that vary with the connected system stereo component
The functions that can be used and the icons displayed on the M-crew Tool bar depend on the system stereo component connected to your computer. For example, M-crew may not support timer and CD-TEXT information display functions for certain system stereo components, even if those components have timer and CD-TEXT information display functions.
For more information about the system stereo components that are compatible with M-crew and the functions that are supported, please go to the following URL on the World Wide Web.
http://www.sony.co.jp/en/Products/homeaudio/
Notes
•In this manual, the term “system stereo component” refers specifically to component stereo systems (incorporating CD and MD decks) and discrete MD decks that support PC-LINK connections.
•The displays shown in this manual are those for a CMT-PX3 stereo system.
