Turning on/off the BBE

II

function

The BBE II * function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording, broadcasts, etc.

When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBE II function adjusts the phase relationship between the low, mid and high frequencies by adding a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies reach the listener’s ears at the proper time.

In addition, the BBE II function boosts low and high frequencies, which loudspeakers tend to be less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation. When combined with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer, more finely detailed “live” presence.

BBE

Each time you press BBE, the BBE II function changes as follows.

BBE 1 BBE 2 BBE 3 BBE OFF

As the number gets higher, the BBE II function becomes stronger.

When shipped from the factory, the BBE II function is set to “BBE 2.”

To cancel the BBE II function, select “BBE OFF.”

MAINTENANCE

Handling CDs

COMPACT

This unit has been designed only to reproduce the CDs bearing the and marks.

DIGITAL AUDIO

Other discs cannot be played back.

How to handle CDs

When removing a CD from its case, press down the center holder of the case and lift the CD out, holding it by the edges.

• Always hold the CD by the edges. Do not touch its recording surface.

Center holder

When storing a CD into its case, gently insert the CD around the center holder

(with the printed surface facing up).

• Make sure to store CDs into the cases after use.

To keep CDs clean

A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

To play new CDs

New CDs may have some rough spots around the inner and outer edges. If such a CD is used, this unit may reject the CD.

To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player in the following cases:

• After starting the heater in the car.

• If it becomes very humid inside the car.

Should this occur, the CD player may malfunction. In this case, eject the CD and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

CAUTIONS:

• Do not insert 8cm (3 3/16") CDs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such CDs cannot be ejected.)

• Do not insert any CD of unusual shape – like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a malfunction.

• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in a car.

• Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean CDs.

When playing a CD-R (Recordable)

You can play back your original CD-Rs on this receiver.

• Before playing back CD-Rs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs recorded on CD recorders may not be played back on this receiver because of their disc characteristics, and of the following reasons:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.

– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit.

– The pickup lens inside the CD player is dirty.

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs.

• CD-RWs (Rewritable) cannot be played back on this receiver.

• Do not use the CD-Rs with stickers or sticking labels on the surface. They may cause malfunctions.

About mistracking:

Mistracking may result from driving on extremely rough roads. This does not damage the unit and the CD, but will be annoying.

We recommend that you stop CD play while driving on such rough roads.
