Special features

Layout free
The system components can be installed vertically on the sides (lengthwise) as well as the
conventional, horizontally stacked installation.
Try various layouts of the main unit and speakers and find that match your listening room.
CD = MD high-speed (2x-speed) dubbing
A convenient feature enabling dubbing from CD to MD with simple operation and short period.
(Single CD track dubbing is newly available in addition to the all-track dubbing.)
Frosty door with interior design considerations
The main unit is provided with a storable door, a feature that cannot be found in previous stereo
systems. The door does not only protect the system from damage and dirt but also suits the
interior of many listening rooms.
Low standby power consumption
The power consumption during standby is no more than 2 W.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) with backlit illumination
A high-definition graphic display on each component shows the operating modes such as CD
playback and tuner reception conditions at a glance. The display orientation can be changed
according to whether the system components are installed vertically or stacked horizontally.
CD-TEXT data display
When discs conforming to CD-TEXT are played with this unit, the text information recorded on the
CD (disc name or titles) is displayed automatically. Some CDs conforming to CD-TEXT may not
display text information.
R.D.S. (Radio Data System)
The RDS data included in FM broadcasts can be used to search for the intended broadcasting
contents and for automatic reception from standby.
Convenient timer functions

When the set time comes, a source starts to play automatically only for an hour.
2 Program timer for playback (AI timer playback) and timer recording:
Two timer programs (PROG.1 and PROG.2) are available for each of the timer playback (AI timer
playback) and timer recording functions. (When playback is started with the AI timer, the
