the search, the left two positions in the Information Display K will show a clock- wise circle to confirm the search.

When the Dual button `õ is pressed so that the Dual-Play Indicator J is lit, each deck will operate as a separate, single- play CD unit without regard to the status of the other deck. For complete information on Dual- Deck and Dual-Play operation, see page 17.
