according to your room, speakers position, etc. In addition to technical knowledge, generally, a great deal of
time and work are spent finding the best listening position such as changing speakers or furniture position
while listening to the sound. This function enables you to simply create it in a short time without laborious
settings.
Versatile timer features

Two timer programs (PROG 1, PROG 2) are available for timer playback (AI timer playback). (With the AI
timer playback, the playback volume increases gradually after the start of timer playback.)

falling asleep while listening to music in the night time, etc.

This model can playback music data recorded in CD-R (Compact Disc Recordable) and CD-RW (Compact Disc
Rewritable).
However, some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be playable on the CD player depending on the recording

recording condition and so on. Also note that a CD-R or CD-RW disc which has not been finalized cannot be
played back.
