About the demonstration mode (DEMO MODE)...
While shipped from the factory, "DEMO MODE" is set to "DEMO ON" in this unit.
The following demonstration, introducing the main features equipped for this unit, will appear on the
display automatically if no sound comes in for 3 minutes. (See page 26.)
· 24bit DAC
: (24 bit digital-analog converter: Gives you a high quality sound after D/A
conversion.)
· HS TUNER
: (High-Sensitivity Tuner: Enables a fine reception of stations.)
· EQUALIZER
: (Allows you to fine-adjust the sound to match your preference.)

CAUTION on Volume Setting
CDs produce very little noise compared with other sources. If the volume level is adjusted for the
tuner, for example, the speakers may be damaged by the sudden increase in the output level. Therefore,
lower the volume before playing a disc and adjust it as required during playback.
