I purchased the unit from a private party and the original owners manual was not available. Having the ability to download it was extremely helpful and clarified operating the equipment immensely. This is a complicated unit and without the manual I would not have been able to maximize it's potential. Thank you.
Being a user of older radios of many kinds, preferring them over more modern rigs, this manual was invaluable in the programming of my two. I now know for certain what the assorted buttons functions are, and am very grateful to have found this excellent site. Many thanks for your assistance, Tony.
5 star quality on these downloadable manuals. Easy to read and all the information is there. A must when doing a custom install or needing to service your precious old school electronics.

Rule on Digital Copying
The digital audio equipment exchange audio signals in the digital forms through digital input/output jacks, and include the CD (Compact Disc) player, MD (Mini Disc) recorder and DAT (Digital Audio Tape) recorder. The digital audio equipment allows digital copy of signals with little deterioration of music signals. This has made it necessary to have a copy restriction rule for protecting the copyright, and the SCMS has been established as a result.

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)
With a view to protecting the copyright, the SCMS restricts the number of generations permitted for copying of signals in the digital form between digital audio equipment to only one generation.
1st generation
2nd generation
Caution
Because of this rule, the MD obtained by recording a CD on the MD recorder cannot be copied in the digital form on other digital equipment.
