HOLD

This function causes the unit to ignore accidental button presses.

Set to HOLD so the unit doesn’t power on accidentally or interrupt play.

≥The unit and remote control each have independent HOLD switches.

Note on CD-R and CD-RW

This unit can play CD-R and CD-RW recorded with CD-DA or WMA/MP3. Use an audio recording disc for CD-DA and finalize§ it when you finish recording. The unit may not be able to play some discs due to the condition of the recording.

§A process performed after recording that enables CD-R/CD-RW players to play audio CD-R and CD-RW.

Resume function

Play begins from the last point stopped. Replacing the disc cancels the function.

Auto off function

If the unit is left in stop mode for approximately 10 minutes, the unit turns itself off automatically.

Key illumination

When HOLD is released, the unit’s buttons light in different ways to indicate the operation.

≥To turn the illumination off, set to HOLD. (Only [1/;, CHG] lights while charging.)

≥The color shows the track type playing: green for CD-DA, red for WMA, and orange for MP3.

The display light

The light in the remote control’s display comes on for about several seconds when you press a button, unless the hold function is on.

Magnetic adaptor

This adaptor allows you to quickly and easily connect and disconnect the AC adaptor. This also allows for smoother recharging.
