Basic operations
Turning on the power
• By pressing SRC on the unit you can also turn on the
power. If the source is ready playback also starts.
Turning o the power
• If you turn off the power while listening to a track
playback starts from where it has been stopped
previously next time you turn on the power.
General
• If you change the source while listening to a disc or
an iPod playback stops.
Next time you select “CD” or “IPOD” as the playback
source playback starts from where it has been
stopped/paused previously.
• After ejecting a disc or disconnecting an iPod
“NO DISC” or “NO IPOD” appears and you cannot
operate some of the buttons. Insert another disc
reconnect an iPod or press SRC to select another
playback source.
Tuner operations
Storing stations in memory
• During SSM search...
– All previously stored stations are erased and
stations are stored newly.
– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest
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.
FM RDS operations
• Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of
RDS signals—PI (Programme Identification) and AF
(Alternative Frequency) to work correctly. Without
receiving these data correctly Network-Tracking
Reception will not operate correctly.

• If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby
Reception, the volume level automatically changes to
the preset level (TA VO ) if the current level is lower
than the preset level.
• When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated
(with AF selected), Network-Tracking Reception is
also activated automatically. (See page 16.)

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
• This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD
Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable)
in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA formats.
• When a disc is inserted upside down, “P EASE” and
“EJECT” appear alternately on the display. Press 0 to
eject the disc.
• MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are
used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.”
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or
WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can play back only files of the same type
which are first detected if a disc includes both audio
CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs; however,
unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this
unit because of their disc characteristics, or for the
following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside
the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are written with
“Packet Write” method.
– There are improper recording conditions (missing
data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched,
warped, etc.).
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the
reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular
CDs.
• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or a protective seal stuck
to the surface.
– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an
ink jet printer.
Using these discs under high temperatures or high
humidities may cause malfunctions or damage to the
unit.
