  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 off the power
•  If you turn off the power while listening to a track, 
playback will start from where it had been stopped 
previously next time you turn on the power.
  FM/AM/RDS
Storing stations in memory
•  During SSM search...
  –  All previously stored stations are erased and the 
stations are stored anew.
  –  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 VOLUME) 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. On the other hand, 
Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated 
without deactivating Alternative Frequency 
Reception. (See page 25.)
•  If you want to know more about RDS, visit

  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, “PLEASE” and 
“EJECT” appear alternately on the display. Press 
0 to 
eject the disc.
•  In this manual, words “track” and “file” are 
interchangeably used.
•  While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or 
WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.
•  If you change the source while listening to a disc, 
playback stops.
  Next time you select “CD” as the playback source, 
playback will start from where it had been stopped 
previously.
•  After ejecting a disc, “NO DISC” appears and you 
cannot operate some of the buttons. Insert another 
disc or press SRC to select another playback source.
•  If the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds, 
it is automatically inserted into the loading slot again 
to protect it from dust. Playback starts automatically.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
•  Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
•  This unit can only play back files of the same type as 
those detected first 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.

“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.
