About iPod settings
! When an iPod is connected, this unit changes the
EQ (equalizer) setting of the iPod to off in order to
optimize the acoustics. When you disconnect the
iPod, the EQ returns to the original setting.
! You cannot set Repeat to off on the iPod when
using this unit. Repeat is automatically changed
to All when the iPod is connected to this unit.
Incompatible text saved on the iPod will not be dis-
played by the unit.
DualDiscs
DualDiscs are two-sided discs that have a recordable
CD for audio on one side and a recordable DVD for
video on the other.
Since the CD side of DualDiscs is not physically com-
patible with the general CD standard, it may not be
possible to play the CD side with this unit.
Frequent loading and ejecting of a DualDisc may re-
sult in scratches on the disc. Serious scratches can
lead to playback problems on this unit. In some
cases, a DualDisc may become stuck in the disc load-
ing slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we recom-
mend you refrain from using DualDisc with this unit.
Please refer to the information from the disc manu-
facturer for more detailed information about Dual-
Discs.
