Multiple users
Simultaneous use of the rear-
compartment disc drive
The two rear-compartment screens can be operated almost entirely independently from one another. However, there can be a conflict in some menus if the two screens are used simultaneously.
If the rear-compartment disc drive is being used for both screens simultaneously, selecting certain menus or settings on one of the screens also affects the other screen.
When you exit an operating mode (e.g. audio CD mode), the current setting is saved. If you call up this operating mode again later, there are two possibilities:
Rthe operating mode has been changed on
the other screen.
Rthe operating mode has not been changed.
In the first case, the operating mode appears as it is on the other screen.
In the second case, the setting appears on the screen as it was when you last exited the operating mode.
