A 45-station preset capability (30 FM and 15 AM) in addition to auto-seek and manual tuning.
CD options that include repeat, random and program play.
Timer functions; Daily Timer and Sleep Timer. The Daily Timer can select one of 10 melodies as a source, in addition to
CD, FM, AM and LINE.
You can connect various external units, such as an MD recorder.
The system can play CD-R and CD-RW after they have been finalized.
You can play back your original CD-R or CD-RW recorded in Music CD format. (However they may not be played back
depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)
How This Manual Is Organized
Basic information that is the same for many different functions - e.g. setting the volume - is given in the section
Basic Operations, and not repeated under each function.
The names of buttons/controls and display messages are written in all capital letters: e.g. FM/AM, CD NO DISC.
System functions are written with an initial capital letter only: e.g. Normal Play.
Use the table of contents to look up specific information you require.
We have enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope it serves you in enjoying the many features built into your System.
