Setting the common output signal
Set the signal output from the
TAPE COMMON OUTPUT
jacks according to your operating needs for this unit.
1 When in standard display mode, press the
MENU
key on the main unit or the remote control to enter
menu mode.
2 Use the –/+ keys on the main unit or the remote con-
trol to show the
COMMON OUT?
item on the main
display, and press the
ENTER
key on the main unit
or the remote control.
3 Use the –/+ keys on the main unit or the remote con-
trol to select one of the following choices.
TAPE
: This always outputs the tape playback signal.
AUTO
(default value): outputs either the CD or the
tape playback signal. When both are playing at the
same time, only the tape signal is output.
MIX
: Outputs both the CD and tape playback
signals, mixing them when they are playing
simultaneously.
4 Press the
ENTER
key to return to the standard dis-
play.
• If you want to output the CD and tape signals to
different devices (or different channels of a mixer,
for example), set the COMMON OUT item to “TAPE.”
By doing so, the CD signal will be output from the CD
OUTPUT jacks, while the tape signal will be output
from the TAPE COMMON OUTPUT jacks.
• If you’re outputting the signal of this unit to one ex-
ternal device, such as an amplifier, set the COMMON
OUT item to “AUTO” or “MIX.” By doing so, this unit
outputs the signal of the CD and/or the tape depend-
ing on their playback status.

When to change the batteries
