Maintenance items

•
properly when the π (pause) [JOG] button on the
unit or the π PAUSE button on the remote control was
pushed. This has been xed.
If the resume and power on play functions were ON,
•
the resume function did not work when the power was
turned ON. This has been xed.
When playing back tracks with the ash start function,
•
playback could become unstable depending on the
condition of the audio CD. This has been xed.

improved for MP3/WAV les (32/48 kHz).
If you pressed the

from the rst track in the saved program. This has been
changed so that now playback starts from the pause
point.
