To use these buttons for original functions
again after pressing M MODE, wait for
5 seconds without pressing any of these buttons
until the functions mode is cleared.
• Pressing M MODE again also clears the

Discs produce very little noise compared
with other sources. Lower the volume
before playing a disc to avoid damaging
the speakers by the sudden increase of the
output level.
