How to use the number buttons:

If you press MODE, the unit goes into functions mode and the number buttons work as different function buttons.

ENGLISH

Ç

Ex.: When you press button 5 to enter the RPT function mode.

To use these buttons as number buttons again after pressing MODE, wait for 5 seconds without pressing any number button until the functions mode is cleared.

• Pressing MODE again also clears the functions mode.

CAUTION on Volume Setting

CDs produce very little noise compared with other sources. If the volume level is adjusted for the tuner, for example, the speakers may be damaged by the sudden increase in the output level. Therefore, lower the volume before playing a disc and adjust it as required during playback.
