components. (The CD button operates only the CD player.)

you can operate the DAT deck with the CD FUNCTION
button by changing the preset function to the DAT function.

1 Hold down the FUNCTION button that you want to
change.
2 Press one of the numeric (0 to 9) buttons to select a new
component.

a DAT deck, press 2 (for the DAT deck) while holding down
the CD button.
