With Optional Equipment

CD/MD Unit

This unit can control a maximum of ten external CD/MD units in this configuration: CD unit – maximum of five

Any combination up to ten will work.

If you connect an optional CD unit with the CD TEXT function, the CD TEXT information will appear in the display when you play a CD TEXT disc.

1 Press (SOURCE) repeatedly to select CD or MD.

2 Press (MODE) until the desired unit appears.

CD/MD playback starts.

When a CD/MD unit is connected, all the tracks play from the beginning.

Changing the display item

Each time you press (DSPL) during CD, CD TEXT, or MD playback, the item changes as follows:

$

$

Disc name*1/Artist name*2

$

Track name*3

$

Clock

*1 If you have not labeled the disc or if there is no disc name prerecorded on the MD, “NO NAME” appears in the display.

*2 If you play a CD TEXT disc, the artist name appears in the display after the disc name. (Only for CD TEXT discs with the artist name.)

*3 If the track name of a CD TEXT disc or MD is not prerecorded, “NO NAME” appears in the display.

After you select the desired item, the display will automatically change to the Motion Display mode after a few seconds.

In the Motion Display mode, all the above items are scrolled in the display one by one in order.

Tip

The Motion Display mode can be turned off. (See “Changing the sound and display settings” on page 14).

You can label CD and CD TEXT discs with a personalized name using the disc memo function. Refer to “Labelling a CD” (page 17). However, if you use personalized labels, they will always take priority over the original CD TEXT information when such information is displayed.

Automatically scrolling a disc name

— Auto Scroll

If the disc name, artist name, or track name on a CD TEXT disc or MD exceeds 8 characters and the Auto Scroll function is on, it automatically scrolls across the display as follows:

•The disc name appears when the disc has changed (if the disc name is selected).

•The track name appears when the track has changed (if the track name is selected).

If you press (DSPL) to change the display item, the disc or track name of the MD or CD TEXT disc is scrolled automatically whether you set the function on or off.

1 During playback, press (SHIFT).

2 Press (2) (SET UP) repeatedly until “A.SCRL” appears.

3 Press (4) (n) to select “A.SCRL-ON.”

4 Press (SHIFT).

To cancel Auto Scroll, select “A.SCRL-OFF” in step 3 above.

Note

For some discs with very many characters, the following cases may happen:

—Some of the characters are not displayed

—Auto Scroll does not work.

Tip

To manually scroll the long name of an MD or CD TEXT disc after activating the Auto Scroll function, press (SHIFT), then (1) (N) (manual scroll).
