• SWPRE (Switching Preout)
Switches the preout between rear output (“R”) and
subwoofer output (“SW”).
• SPRM (Supreme)
Technology to extrapolate and supplement with
proprietary algorithm, the high-frequency range
that is cut off when encoding at low bit rate.
Supplementing is optimized by compression
format (MP3 or WMA) and processed according to
bit rate.
The effect is negligible with music that is encoded
at high bit rate, variable bit rate or has minimal high
frequency range.
• CD READ

When unable to play special format CD, set this
function to “2” to force playing. Note that some
music CD may be unplayable even when set to “2”.
In addition, audio files cannot be played when set
to “2”. Normally, keep this set to “1”.

to the AUX terminal when switched to AUX
source.

switched to AUX source.

If news bulletin starts when this function is ON,
“TRAFFIC” is displayed and news is received. If ”20M”
