Selecting the standby mode:

NOTE

•The mode switches to the next mode from any mode which cannot be used.

•The external disc control mode will differ depending on the unit that is connected.

•To enable the selection of External disc control mode 2/AUX mode, you should connect optional switching adapter KCA- S210A (which allows you to select both External disc control mode 2 and AUX mode) or CD changer (KDC-CPS87, KDC- CX87, KDC-CPS85, KDC-CX85, KDC-CPS82 or KDC-CX82) or switching adapter CA-C1AX (which allows you to select AUX mode only).

During the AUX mode, "AUX" will show in the display. When the CA-C1AX is being used, the AUX Mode will replace the External Disc Control Mode.

•If you have selected Standby mode, the timer function that turns the power off automatically will be activated.
