Switching Modes

Switching Modes:

Each time you press the SRC button, the mode switches as follows:

Tuner mode

Tape mode

External disc control mode 1

External disc control mode 2 / AUX mode

Standby mode

Selecting the standby mode:

Press the SRC button repeatedly to select to "ALL OFF" . When "ALL OFF" is displayed, the standby mode is turned on. The standby mode turns all functions off although leaving the unit’s power on. Use this mode when you want to have the display illuminated but do not want to listen to anything.

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" (or AUX-name display) 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.

To find out how to set the time on the timer, and how to cancel the timer function, refer to the section on the Power OFF Timer

function under Menu settings (page 32).

The Power OFF Timer function is enabled only after the security code (page 26) is set up.

NOTE

Selecting AUX-name display

Holding down the DISP button for two seconds or more during the AUX mode, AUX-name display is blinked for AUX-name selection mode.

Pressing 4 or ¢ button during this mode allows you to select "AUX" , "TV" , "VCP" , "GAME" or "PORTABLE" in the AUX mode. The AUX-name selection mode can be exited by pressing the DISP button or doing nothing for 10 seconds.

Attenuator

This function allows you to turn down the volume quickly.

Turning Attenuator On/Off:

Press the ATT button to switch the attenuator on and off. When the attenuator is on, the ATT indicator blinks.

When the attenuator is off, the volume returns to the original level.

NOTE

Turning the volume up, or turning it all the way down deactivates the attenuator function.

Loudness

This function amplifies low and high tones when the volume is turned down.
