Using the SOURCE buttons

The seven source buttons provide direct access to the three built-in sources (FM, AM, CD) and up to four external components connected to the system. The Lifestyle® system can select an external component and adjust the volume, but it cannot turn a connected compo- nent on or off.

Use the SOURCE button to show or hide the source buttons.

Using the KEYPAD buttons

The numeric buttons provide direct access to commonly used features of the three built-in sources (FM, AM, CD). The or arrow symbol to the left or right of the KEYPAD button indicates whether you are using the keypad for presets or tuning (in FM or AM mode), or selecting disc or track (in CD mode).

Use the KEYPAD button to show or hide the keypad buttons and select PRESET or TUNE, or DISC or TRACK.

Using the current status display

The center of the screen displays information about the current status of the system. The top of the status area indicates which source is selected or if the power is off. The next three lines let you set tuner or CD functions, using the or arrow buttons to adjust the settings. The center area also includes indication of CD modes such as RANDOM and REPEAT, or if the SLEEP function is on.
