About the demonstration mode (DEMO MODE)...

When shipped from the factory, “DEMO MODE” is set to “DEMO ON” in this unit.

The following demonstration, introducing the main features equipped with this unit, will appear on the display automatically if no sound comes in for 3 minutes. (See page 20.)

•24bit DAC : (24 bit digital-analog converter: Gives you a high quality sound after D/A conversion.)

•HS TUNER : (High-sensitivity Tuner: Enables a fine reception of stations.)

•EQUALIZER : (Allows you to fine-adjust the sound to match your preference.)

•SUB WOOFER : (ONLY for KD-SH77: Enables you to connect a subwoofer and to adjust its output level.)

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.
