Checking the information on CD TEXT discs

CD TEXT discs contain information such as disc titles and artist names. This information is recorded in empty spaces that are normally unused on conventional CDs. The CD TEXT information of the disc appears in the display so that you can check the current disc tittle, artist name and track tittle. When the player detects CD TEXT discs, “CD-TEXT” indication appears in the display. If the CD TEXT has multi-language capability, “CD-TEXT” and “MULTI” indications appear in the display. To check the information in another language, see “Checking the information on CD TEXT discs in other languages” on page 10.

Each time you press DISPLAY, the display changes as shown below.
