How to read this manual
The following methods are used to made the
explanations simple and easy-to-understand:
· Some related tips and notes are explained in
"More about this receiver" (see pages 26 and
27).
· Button operations are mainly explained with
the illustrations as follows:
Press briefly.
Press repeatedly.
Press either one.
Press and hold until
your desired response
begins.
Press and hold both
buttons at the same
time.
The following marks are used to indicate...
: Built-in CD player operations.
: External CD changer operations.
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.
