V1.10 changes
You can use the unit like a loud speaker.•
You can output the sound from external microphones
through the built-in speakers.
To use this function, change “SOURCE” on the INPUT
screen to “EXT/REAR” or “EXT/LINE”, and change
“EXT>SP” to “ON”.
Corrected a problem in which the sound was interrupted•
momentarily between tracks on a CD.
In Ver.1.00, the playback sound was interrupted
momentarily when changing to the next track on the CD.
Therefore, when continuous sound is divided into tracks
(such as a live recording), the sound is momentarily
interrupted (Usually it is an unnoticeable level.)
In Ver 1.10, the unit can playback continuously without
interruption.
