General features

Switching Modes

Switching Modes:
Each time you press the SRC button, the mode switches as
follows:
Tuner mode
Tape mode
External disc control mode 1
External disc control mode 2 / AUX mode
Standby mode
Selecting the standby mode:
Press the SRC button repeatedly to select to "ALL OFF" .
When "ALL OFF" is displayed, the standby mode is turned on.
The standby mode turns all functions off although leaving the
unit's power on. Use this mode when you want to have the
display illuminated but do not want to listen to anything.
NOTE
• The mode switches to the next mode from any mode which
cannot be used.
• The external disc control mode will differ depending on the unit
that is connected.
• To enable the selection of External disc control mode 2/AUX
mode, you should connect optional switching adapter KCA-
S210A (which allows you to select both External disc control
mode 2 and AUX mode) or CD changer (KDC-CPS87, KDC-
CX87, KDC-CPS85, KDC-CX85, KDC-CPS82 or KDC-CX82) or
switching adapter CA-C1AX (which allows you to select AUX
mode only).
During the AUX mode, "AUX" (or AUX-name display) will show
in the display. When the CA-C1AX is being used, the AUX Mode
will replace the External Disc Control Mode.
• If you have selected Standby mode, the timer function that
turns the power off automatically will be activated.
To find out how to set the time on the timer, and how to cancel
the timer function, refer to the section on the Power OFF Timer
function under Menu settings (page 32).
The Power OFF Timer function is enabled only after the security
code (page 26) is set up.
NOTE

Holding down the DISP button for two seconds or more during
the AUX mode, AUX-name display is blinked for AUX-name
selection mode.
Pressing 4 or ¢ button during this mode allows you to select
"AUX" , "TV" , "VCP" , "GAME" or "PORTABLE" in the AUX mode.
The AUX-name selection mode can be exited by pressing the
DISP button or doing nothing for 10 seconds.
