About This Product
The tuner frequencies on this product are allocated for use in Western Europe, Asia, the
Middle East, Africa and Oceania. Use in other areas may result in improper reception. The
RDS function operates only in areas with FM stations broadcasting RDS signals.

"Virtual Theater", you will be able to navigate quite easily throughout it.
The basic structure of the "Virtual Theater" is actually quite simple. Everything is centralized
around a base location known as the "Center Room". (Refer to "Virtual Theater Quick Tour"
on page 11.)
