Entertainment Systems Press CD to start playback from a CD already in the audio unit. If no disc is inserted, NO CD appears in the display. The display indicates elapsed track time up to 19:59. If the track is longer than twenty minutes, the first digit flashes while the rest of the numeral returns to zero and starts counting again. This audio unit is designed to play commercially pressed 12cm audio compact discs only. Due to technical incompatibility, certain recordable and re-recordable compact discs may not function correctly when used in CD players. Irregular shaped CDs, CDs with a scratch protection film attached and CDs with homemade paper (adhesive) labels should not be inserted into the CD player. The label may peel and cause the CD to become jammed. It is recommended that homemade CDs identified with a permanent marker rather than adhesive labels. Please contact your dealer for further information. Shuffle feature The shuffle feature operates in CD mode and plays all tracks on the current disc in random order. Press the MENU control until SHUF MENU appears in the display. Press the SEEK control to turn the feature ON (SHUF-ON) or OFF (SHUF-OFF). SEEK When engaged, the elapsed time indicator in the display is replaced by SHUF as a new track is selected. If equipped with an optional CD changer, the audio unit plays all tracks on the disc selected and then moves onto the next disc and plays those tracks in a random sequence. Compression feature The compression feature brings soft and loud CD passages together for a more consistent listening level. Press the MENU control until COMP MENU appears in the display. 25
