maximize your listening enjoyment.
We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the functions and their operation by
reading through the manual before you begin using this product. It is especially important
that you read and observe the “Precaution” on the next page and in other sections.

Feature Demo
The Feature Demo automatically starts when power to this product is switched OFF while
the ignition switch is set to ACC or ON. Pressing button 6 during Feature Demo operation
