Operation to reset
The microcomputer may fall into malfunction when a cord is
unplugged and plugged again while the unit is ON or due to an
external cause. In such a case, the microcomputer should be reset
as described below:
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and, while holding the
POWER key depressed, plug the power cord again. This initializes
the microcomputer. Note that this clears the previously stored
memory.
Note related to transportation and move-
ment
Before transporting or moving this unit, carry out the following oper-
ations.
1. Remove the CD or MD from the unit.
2. Press the MD 6key.
3. Wait for some time and verify that the display becomes as
shown in the figure.
4. Press the CD 6key.
5. Wait for some time and verify that the display becomes as
shown in the figure.
6. Wait a few seconds and turn the unit off.
Memory backup function

DIAGNOSIS
5. Test Mode
5-1 Setting method of the Test Mode
The oscillation diagnosis(existence of oscillation and mea-
surement of period) of a sub clock is performed before the
test mode is entered. If the diagnosis result is OK, the sys-
tem enters the test mode.
If the diagnosis result is NG, the oscillation of the sub clock
is diagnosed again. If the result is OK, the system enters
the test mode. If the diagnosis result is continuously NG 5
times, the system stops with "ERR1"and "ERR2"displayed.
5-2 Cancel of the test mode
• By turning the AC off, the system is initialized and the test
mode is canceled.
• Cancel the test mode only if the power switch is turned
off.
5-3 Contents of the Test Mode
• The muting during mode selection is not controlled in the
test mode.
• During the test mode, it can be operated in a special man-
ner that is defferent from an ordinary operation by using
the keys on the main body, specifically as shown in the
next page.
