multimedia data from CD-ROM discs, pictures from Multisession
Photo-CD discs and also play commercial audio CDs.

volume level control, for use in playing audio CD’s, you can plug in
the power speakers at the rear socket, or use the system’s front audio
output socket for headphones. It is also possible if you want, to link
the main headphone socket via a cable, to your Hi-fi system, and
play sounds files, CDs, etc., at higher power.
