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, the
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

Symptoms Remedies/Causes
General
• Sound cannot be heard from the
speakers.
• Adjust the volume to the optimum level.
• Check the cords and connections.
• This unit does not work at all. Reset the unit (see page ).
FM/AM
• SSM automatic presetting does not
work.
Store stations manually.
• Static noise while listening to the
radio.
Connect the antenna firmly.
Disc playback
• Disc cannot be played back. Insert the disc correctly.
• CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played
back.
• Tracks on the CD-R/CD-RW cannot
be skipped.
• Insert a finalized CD-R/CD-RW.
•
Finalize the CD-R/CD-RW with the component
which you used for recording.
• Disc can be neither played back nor
ejected.
• Unlock the disc (see page 7).
• Eject the disc forcibly (see page ).
• Disc sound is sometimes interrupted. • Stop playback while driving on rough roads.
• Change the disc.
• Check the cords and connections.
• “NO DISC” appears on the display. Insert a playable disc into the loading slot.
MP3/WMA playback
• Disc cannot be played back. • Use a disc with MP3/WMA tracks recorded in
the format compliant with ISO 9660 Level 1,
Level , Romeo, or Joliet.
• Add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to
the file names.
• Noise is generated. Skip to another track or change the disc. (Do not
add the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> to
non-MP3 or WMA tracks.)
• A longer readout time is required
(“CHECK” keeps flashing on the
display).
Do not use too many hierarchies and folders.
• Tracks do not play back in the order
you have intended them to play.
Playback order is determined when the files are
recorded.
• Elapsed playing time is not correct. This sometimes occurs during play. This is caused
by how the tracks are recorded on the disc.
