The names of buttons/controls and display messages are written in all capital letters: e.g. FM/AM, “NO DISC”.

If the button names on the Unit and the Remote Control are the same, the description on where the button is used will be omitted.

System functions are written with an initial capital letter only: e.g. Normal Play.
