Description of main system operation
1) POWER ON/OFF processing [(1) to (4)]
RX
CDX
M DX
K X
U, C, R, G models
• The power cord of each unit is connected to the AC outlet in series and switched on and off
through the RX relay.
• Turning off the RX power switch will turn off the power to other units (primary connection) but
turning off the power switch of any other unit will turn off the secondary connection of each unit
only (i.e., the microprocessor remains on).
• Each unit has a backup function to save the secondary connection status when unplugged
(taking use of a unit alone into consideration)
• The indicators of units are turned on after a dimmer level signal is fed from RX so that they light
up simultaneously when the RX power switch is turned on. However, as the indicator of a unit
does not light up when the unit is used alone in this setting, the indicator is forced to turn on when
2 seconds have elapsed without a dimmer level signal being fed (and the power for the backup
function is turned on). When the CD unit is used alone, the timer play mode is set regardless of
the backup function status.
• Make sure that the power off processing of each unit has been completed before turning off the
power by using the RX relay.
2) FUNCTION [(5) to (6)]
• No source other than that selected by the input selector will be reproduced.
• The functions are selected automatically to be suitable for the source to be reproduced.
• Selecting the functions is prohibited during recording.
3) TIMER operation [(7) to (8)]
• TIMER PLAY to start reproduction at a specified time
• TIMER REC to start recocording at a specified time
4) AUTO POWER OFF [(9)]
The RX power is truned OFF when the FUNCTION setting is other than TUNER and
AUX and no key operation has been made for half an hour while all the connected units
are at stop.
5) AUTO POWER ON [(10)]
If the power of the connected units has been turned off while the RX power is on and
when a key involving reproduction is pressed, the power is turned on automatically.
6) Dimmer
There are 7 dimmer level settings. The dimmer level data is transmmitted from the
receiver when the power is turned on. The dimmer level is “0” when a unit is used alone.
