If you change the source to FM, AM, CD changer or external component, the CD play also
stops (without ejecting the CD this time).

• If the ejected disc is not removed for about 15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again into

the loading slot to protect it from dust. (CD play will not start this time.)

• You can eject the CD even when the unit is turned off.

Notes:

• When a CD is inserted up side down, “PLEASE” and “EJECT” appear on the display alternately.

When you open the control panel by pressing

• When you play a CD Text, the disc title and performer appear on the display. Then the current track

and elapsed playing time appears on the display. See also “Playing a CD Text” (page 15) and
“Selecting the scroll mode” (page 28).
If a CD Text includes much text information, some may not appear on the display.
