Features

Sources: The FS-G5 has a 5-disc CD changer, an AM/FM tuner, and two front panel auxiliary inputs: a stereo minijack and a USB (Type B) port.

Disc Compatibility: This unit will play prerecorded Audio CDs, CD-R, CD-RW discs and MP3 files recorded onto CD-R and CD-RW discs.

MP3 Playback: This unit will playback MP3 files recorded in ISO9660 Level 1 or 2 with a minimum bit rate of 64 kbps (128 kbps is recommended). It will recognize up to 200 groups and up to 500 tracks. The main unit's display will show the group and track name once, then indicate the track number and elapsed track time.

Disc Exchange: The discs are loaded into individual trays behind a motorized fold-down door. This allows you to exchange discs in any of the inactive trays without interrupting the currently playing disc.

Audio Adjustments: The FS-G5 has the following sound adjustments from the remote control:

• Bass/Treble: You can independently adjust the bass and treble from 0 to +5.
• Active Hyper-Bass PRO: The AH-B PRO reinforces the bass sound to maintain rich, full bass at low volumes. (Toggles on/off)
• Sound Turbo: Sound Turbo emphasizes the sound excitement. (Toggles on/off).

Program Play: Up to 32 tracks can be programmed and played in any order. Once the tracks are programmed, you can use Repeat Play to repeat only the programmed tracks or one individual track. During Program play, you cannot select another disc. The program is not stored in memory, so it is lost if the unit is turned off.

Repeat Play: This unit will repeatedly play all discs in all trays, all programmed tracks, the current track, the current group, or the current disc. Some repeat modes are not available on all types of discs.

Random Play: The tracks on all of the loaded discs can be played at random. Random play will end when all of the tracks on all of the loaded discs have been played. You can also repeat the current disc or the current track during random play.

Tray Lock: You can lock the trays to prohibit discs from being ejected.

AM/FM Tuner: This system has a digital AM/FM Tuner. You can store up to 45 station presets (30 FM and 15 AM) so that you always have easy access to your favorite stations without having to tune them in manually each time. Presets can be directly tuned using the remote control by pressing the preset number on the keypad. The tuner has three tuning modes: Manual, Preset, and Auto (seek) tuning. If you are listening to an FM station in stereo and the reception is weak, you can improve the sound quality by switching to Mono.

Auxiliary Inputs: You can connect an auxiliary audio component to this unit via the stereo 3.5mm minijack line input on the front panel. The unit is also equipped with a Type B USB terminal on the front panel to allow you to play audio from your PC through the system. The aux input or the USB input can be selected from the front panel or remote.

Compu-Play: This unit features Compu-Play control. When you press the source button (FM/AM, Play/Pause), the unit automatically powers up and begins playback from the selected source. When you press the Aux button, the unit will power up and switch to the Aux Inputs, but you will need to manually start playback on the connected component or the PC.

Clock: The unit displays the clock in a 12-hour (AM/PM) format when the unit is in standby. When power is on, you can switch between source information and the clock display using the remote control.

Daily Timers: The FS-G5 allows you to store three Daily Timer settings, although you can activate only one at a time. You can use a daily timer as an alarm clock to wake up to a CD, the radio, or a connected auxiliary component at a preset volume level. The source will play for approximately one hour and will automatically turn the system off. Once the timer is active, it will operate every day at the set time.

Sleep Timer: The sleep timer switches the system off after a specified amount of time so you can fall asleep without worrying about the unit being left on all night. The sleep timer can be set to 10, 20, 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes.

Auto Standby: For disc playback only, you can activate the Auto Standby mode which shuts off the power automatically if no operation is performed approximately 3 minutes after disc play stops.

Fade Muting: When you push the mute button on the remote, the volume drops gradually until it reaches "zero". When the mute is disabled, the volume gradually increases until it reaches the original volume level. Note: The volume drops from maximum to zero in approximately 3 seconds.

Headphone Output: The FS-G5 has a 3.5mm minijack headphone output on the front panel. The main speakers are muted whenever headphones are plugged into the unit.

Display: The 2-5/8" x 11/16" LCD display features a blue backlight with a blue "glow" that extends beyond the ends of the display. The display can indicate the source name, clock, elapsed and remaining time, and track/group numbers. Icons indicate which disc trays are loaded, currently loaded disc, Sound Turbo, Repeat/Random/Program play modes, MP3 playback, Timer activation, and FM reception modes.

Display Dimmer: You can change the brightness of the display to one of three settings: Dim 1 (dims the display), Dim 2 (turns off display illumination), or Dimmer Off (full illumination).

Remote Control: The unit comes with a wireless remote control with a numeric keypad. Several features can be enabled solely with the remote, such as fade muting, direct track access, direct preset tuning, and FM mono/stereo switching. The dimensions of the remote are: Length=6.012", Width=1.993", Depth=1.17".
