How to read this manual
The following methods are used to made the

"More about this receiver" (see pages 26 and
27).
· Button operations are mainly explained with
the illustrations as follows:

Press and hold until
your desired response
begins.
Press and hold both
buttons at the same
time.

How to use the M MODE button
If you press M MODE, the receiver goes into
functions mode, then the number buttons and
5/ buttons work as different function buttons.
Ex.: When number button 2 works as
MO (monaural) button.
Time countdown indicator
To use these buttons for original functions
again after pressing M MODE, wait for
5 seconds without pressing any of these buttons
until the functions mode is cleared.
· Pressing M MODE again also clears the
functions mode.
Caution on volume setting:
Discs produce very little noise compared
with other sources. Lower the volume
before playing a disc to avoid damaging
the speakers by the sudden increase of the
output level.
