More about this unit
Basic operations
Turning on the power
• By pressing CD or FM/AM 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
disc, disc play will start from where playback
has been stopped previously, next time you
turn on the power.
Tuner operations
Storing stations in memory
• During SSM search...
– All previously stored stations are erased
and stations are stored newly.
– Received stations are preset in No. 1
(lowest frequency) to No. 6 (highest
frequency).
– When SSM is over, the station stored in
No. 1 will be automatically tuned in.
• When storing a station manually, a previously
preset station is erased when a new station is
stored in the same preset number.
Disc operations
Caution for DualDisc playback
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does
not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital
Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-
DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may
not be recommended.
General
• This unit has been designed to reproduce
CDs, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/ CD-RWs
(Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA) format.
• When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD”
for the playback source starts disc play.
Inserting a disc
• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc
automatically ejects.
• Do not insert 8 cm (3-3/16") discs (single CD)
and unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.)
into the loading slot.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs;
however, unclosed sessions will be skipped
while playing.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play
back on this unit because of their disc
characteristics, and for the following causes:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens
inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– CD-R or CD-RW on which the files are
written with “Packet Write” method.
– There are improper recording conditions
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions
(stain, scratch, warp, 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 protective
seal stuck to the surface.
– Discs on which labels can be directly
printed by an ink jet printer.
Using these discs under high temperatures
or high humidity may cause malfunctions or
damage to discs.
Changing the source
• If you change the source, playback also stops
(without ejecting the disc).
Next time you select “CD” 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.”
