Image setting

You can set various display images on the unit.

Space Producer: creates animated on-screen patterns in time with the music.

Optional unit operation

You can also control optional CD/MD changers and optional Sony portable devices in addition to playing with this unit.

*A CD TEXT disc is a CD-DA that includes information such as disc, artist and track name.

Warning if your car’s ignition has no ACC position

After turning the ignition off, be sure to press and hold (OFF) on the unit until the display disappears.

Otherwise, the display does not turn off and this causes battery drain.

This label is located on the bottom of the chassis.

The BBE MP process

Rimproves digitally compressed sound, such as

MP3, by restoring and enhancing the higher harmonics lost through compression. BBE MP works by generating even-order harmonics from the source material, effectively recovering warmth, detail and nuance.
