Recording and other functions may be limited, depending on the type of CD recorder or other component connected. For details, consult the operating instructions for the component concerned.

÷When the DIGITAL OUT MODE switch is set to NORMAL, the display initially shows D-OUT then changes to “NORMAL.”

÷If an unsupported operation is attempted, the display will first show D-OUT then change to display the “NORMAL” message.

÷If the DIGITAL OUT MODE switch has been set to NORMAL when the unit’s power is switched on, the display will initially show D-OUT,” then change to display the “NORMAL” message.

NOTE:

When the DIGITAL OUT MODE switch is set to NORMAL, the DJ functions (cue, loop, reloop, tempo adjust, Jog dial and reverse playback) do not work. And the muted pause mode is used instead of the audible pause mode.
