Introduction
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) with backlit illumination
CD-TEXT data display
R.D.S. (Radio Data System)
Convenient timer functions
The system components can be installed vertically on the sides (lengthwise) as well as the
conventional, horizontally stacked installation.
Try various layouts of the main unit and speakers and find that match your listening room.
A high-definition graphic display on each component shows the operating modes such as CD
playback and tuner reception conditions at a glance. The display orientation can be changed
according to whether the system components are installed vertically or stacked horizontally.
When discs conforming to CD-TEXT are played with this unit, the text information recorded on the
CD (disc name or titles) is displayed automatically. Some CDs conforming to CD-TEXT may not
display text information.
The RDS data included in FM broadcasts can be used to search for the intended broadcasting
contents and for automatic reception from standby.
1 O.T.T. timer :
When the set time comes, a source starts to play automatically only for an hour.
2 Program timer for playback (AI timer playback) and timer recording:
Two timer programs (PROG.1 and PROG.2) are available for each of the timer playback (AI timer
playback) and timer recording functions. (When playback is started with the AI timer, the
volume increases automatically until the specified level.)
3 Sleep timer :
When the set time comes, the power of the system is set automatically to OFF (standby). This
is convenient for example when you want to fall asleep while listening to music.
