Time display switching
During MD or audio CD playback (or playback standby),
when the TIME button on either the front panel or the
remote control is pressed, the time display will switch
through several modes in the following order.
Elapsed track time: no display light indication
Remaining track time:
REMAIN
is lit in the display
Elapsed disc time:
TOTAL
is lit in the display
Remaining disc time: TOTAL and REMAIN are lit in the
display
NOTE
During MD playback, the remaining disc time •
indication, as with CD, shows the playback time
remaining until the end of the disc. Please note that
this may differ from the remaining time indicated when
recording the MD.
When stopped, the total recording time is shown,
•
regardless of the status of the
TOTAL
and
REMAIN
indicators.
When playing a data CD, elapsed track time is always
•
displayed, and the TIME button does not operate.
For details on time display during recording and
•
recording standby on an MD deck, please refer to
“Checking remaining MD time” on page 39.
Even when the power is turned off, the time display
•
mode setting is retained.
End of disc/track warning
When nearing the end of a track or disc, a warning
indication is shown on the display.
The number of seconds before the track/disc end that the
warning is displayed can be set beforehand, so that when
playback reaches that point, the EOM warning will begin
flashing on the display.
To set the warning display time, use the
EOM TRK? or
EOM DISC
options on the PLAY submenu of the MD and
CD menus. Each can be set between 1 and 99 seconds
in 1-second increments, or the warning display can be
turned off.
NOTE
The
EOM
warning function does not work with data CDs.

of the music is changed while the speed of the music
remains the same.

setting is retained.
When the Key Change function is on, even if the Pitch
•
Control function is used to change the playback speed,
the key of playback will remain fixed at the preset
key. (Even if the key level is 0 (zero), the Key Change
function can be turned on.)
When using the key control function, playback sound

a special process applied to CD playback sound and is
normal.
