in elapsed time display, and do not show

performing the search function, this
difference becomes noticeable.

• The search function works but search speed is
not constant.
Changing the source
• If you change the source, playback also stops
(without ejecting the disc).
Next time you select “DISC” for the playback
source, disc play starts from where it has been
stopped previously.
Ejecting a disc
• If the ejected disc is not removed within
15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted
again into the loading slot to protect it from
dust. (Disc will not play this time.)
General settings—PSM
• If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from
“HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the
volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the
unit automatically changes the volume level to
“VOL 30.”
