Under normal reception mode as indicated by the ST icon on the display panel when tuned to an FM stereo signal. If the stereo signal is too noisy for comfortable listening, press the MONO/INT select button to switch to

monaural reception (the ST icon will disappear from the display panel). To return to stereo reception mode, press the button again

so that the ST indication reappears.

bn LOCAL (LOC)/REPEAT (RPT) BUTTON

During radio operation, received signals are usually in stereo mode as indicated by the

ST icon; however, when the signals are weak or intermittent, it may be worthwhile activating the Local (LOC) mode by pressing the LOC/RPT button (LOC appears on the display). This mode favors access to local stations whose signals are much stronger, thereby improving radio reception. Press this button again to terminate local receive mode; LOC disappears from the display panel.

bo AUDIO MUTE (MUTE)

This button is used to mute the volume from the system. By pressing the button, a MUTE indication will appear on the display panel and the volume will be muted. Pressing the MUTE button again, or pressing the Volume Control buttons or Select (SEL) button will return the volume level to the setting in use before the Mute function was activated.

bp MODE BUTTON

This button enables selection of either radio or disc play. When a CD is loaded, pressing this button will revert to radio operation; the disc icon ( ) will still be displayed, indicating a disc is still loaded in the unit. Pressing the button again will return to disc play, but the current track will start from the beginning.

bq LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL FUNCTIONS

The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel dis- plays the frequency, time, and all activated func- tions, including five bar graphs which provide a visual representation of the audio signal power level.

NOTE: It is a characteristic of LCD panels that, if subjected to cold temperatures for an extended period of time, they may take longer to illuminate than under normal conditions. In addition, the visibility of the numbers on the LCD may slightly decrease. The LCD read-out will return to normal when the temperature increases to a normal range.

br DISC SLOT

With the label surface facing up, fully insert a compact disc into the slot until the load mechanism engages; LOAdCd will appear, followed immediately by CdP and the fixed disc

symbol ( ). The symbol will then become animated and play will begin from the first TRACK (01) on the disc, accompanied by the elapsed time of track play.

NOTE: This unit is designed for play of standard 5" (12cm) Compact Discs ONLY. Do not attempt to use 3" (8cm) CD-Singles in this unit, either with or without an adapter, as damage to the player and/or disc can occur. Such damage will not be covered by the Warranty on this product.
