  • Page 6: The High Grade Micro Component Series

    While some models of the High grade Micro component series have an instruction manual explaining the system operation for R-SG7 (receiver), DP-SG7 (CD player), and X-SG7 (cassette deck), other mod- els have only an operation manual for that model itself. This is done so that the system operation can be done easily even when optional equipment is purchased at a later date.
  • Page 7: Special Features

    When the High grade Micro component series is connected to the system control, input switching with the input selector (TAPE, TUNER, CD, MD) of the R-SG7 will start playback by the selected unit. Reversely, when playback is started from a unit, the input will be switched automatically to this unit.
