RADIO BASIC OPERATIONS

Listening to the radio
You can use either automatic searching or manual searching to tune in to a particular station.
Searching a station automatically:
Auto search

1. Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM).Note:
   This receiver has three FM bands (FM1, FM2, FM3). You can use any one of them to listen to an FM broadcast.
2. Start searching a station.

When a station is received, searching stops.
To stop searching before a station is received, press the same button you have pressed for searching.
Searching a station manually:
Manual search

1. Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM).Note:
   This receiver has three FM bands (FM1, FM2, FM3). You can use any one of them to listen to an FM broadcast.
2. Press and hold or 4 until “M (manual)” starts flashing on the display.
3. Tune in to a station you want while “M” is flashing.• If you release your finger from the button, the manual mode will automatically turn off after 5 seconds.
   • If you hold down the button, the frequency keeps changing (in 50 kHz intervals for FM and 9 kHz intervals for AM – MW/LW) until you release the button.

When an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive:
Press MO RND (monaural/random) while listening to an FM stereo broadcast.

Each time you press the button, the MO indicator lights up and goes off alternately.

When the MO indicator is lit on the display, the sound you hear becomes monaural but the reception will be improved (the ST indicator goes off).
Storing stations in memory
You can use one of the following two methods to store broadcasting stations in memory.

• Automatic preset of FM stations: SSM (Strong station Sequential Memory)
• Manual preset of both FM and AM stations

FM station automatic preset: SSM
You can preset 6 local FM stations in each FM band (FM1, FM2 and FM3).

1. Select the FM band (FM1 – 3) you want to store FM stations into.
2. Press and hold both buttons for more than 2 seconds.Local FM stations with the strongest signals are searched and stored automatically in the band number you have selected (FM1, FM2 or FM3).
   These stations are preset in the number buttons —No.1 (lowest frequency) to No.6 (highest frequency). When automatic preset is over, the station stored in number button 1 will be automatically tuned in.

Manual preset
You can preset up to 6 stations in each band (FM1, FM2, FM3 and AM) manually.
Ex.: Storing an FM station of 88.3 MHz into the preset number 1 of the FM1 band

1. Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM) you want to store stations into (in this example, FM1).
2. Tune in to a station (in this example of 88.3 MHz).
3. Press and hold the number button (in this example, 1) for more than 2 seconds.
4. Repeat the above procedure to store other stations into other preset numbers.

Notes:

• A previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.
• Preset stations are erased when the power supply to the memory circuit is interrupted (for example, during battery replacement). If this occurs, preset the stations again.

Tuning in to a preset station
You can easily tune in to a preset station.
Remember that you must store stations first. If you have not stored them yet, see “Storing stations in memory” on page 8.

1. Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM).
2. Select the number (1 – 6) for the preset station you want.

RDS OPERATIONS

What you can do with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of programme they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
Another advantage of RDS function is called “Enhanced Other Networks.” By using the Enhanced Other Networks data sent from a station, you can tune in to a different station of a different network broadcasting your favorite programme or traffic announcement while listening to another programme or to another source such as CD.
By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the following:

• Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-Tracking Reception)
• Standby Reception of TA (Traffic Announcement) or your favorite programme
• PTY (Programme Type) search
• Programme search
• And some other functions

Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-Tracking Reception)
When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically tunes in to another RDS station, broadcasting the same programme with stronger signals. So, you can continue to listen to the same programme in its finest reception, no matter where you drive. (See the illustration on the next page.)
Two types of the RDS data are used to make Network-Tracking Reception work correctly — PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency).
Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, Network-Tracking Reception will not operate.
To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and hold TP RDS (Traffic Programme/Radio Data System) for more than 1 second. Each time you press and hold the button, Network-Tracking Reception modes change as follows:

Mode 1
The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not.
Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization set to “off.”
Switches to another station within the same network when the receiving signals from the current station become weak.

• In this mode, the programme may differ from the one currently received.

Mode 2
Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up.
Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization set to “on.”
Switches to another station, within the same network, broadcasting the same programme when the receiving signals from the current station become weak.
Mode 3
Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up.
Network-Tracking Reception is deactivated.
The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

Using Standby Reception
Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favorite programme (PTY:
Programme Type) and Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM station or CD).

• Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station.

TA Standby Reception

When you press TP RDS while listening to an FM station, the TP indicator is lit during reception of a TP (Traffic Programme) station and the TA standby mode is engaged.

• When the station being received is not a TP station, the TP indicator flashes. Press or to engage the TA standby mode. “SEARCH” appears on the display, and TP station search starts. When a TP station is tuned in, the TP indicator is lit.

If you are listening to a CD and wish to listen to a TP station, press TP RDS to enter the TA standby mode. (The TP indicator lights up.)
If a traffic programme starts broadcasting while the TA standby mode is active, “TRAFFIC” appears and the playback source changes to the FM band. The volume increases to the preset TA volume level (see page 14) and the traffic programme can be heard.
To deactivate the TA standby mode, press TP RDS again.
PTY Standby Reception

When you press PTY while listening to an FM station, the PTY indicator is lit during reception of a PTY station and the PTY standby mode is engaged. The selected PTY name stored on page 12 flashes for 5 seconds.

• When the station being received is not a PTY station, the PTY indicator flashes. Press or  to engage the PTY standby mode. “SEARCH” appears on the display, and PTY station search starts. When a PTY station is tuned in, the PTY indicator is lit.

If you are listening to a CD and wish to listen to a selected PTY broadcast, press PTY to enter the PTY standby mode. (The PTY indicator lights up.)
If the selected PTY programme starts broadcasting while the PTY standby mode is active, the selected PTY name appears and the playback source changes to the FM band. The selected PTY programme can then be heard.
To deactivate the PTY standby mode, press PTY again.

MAINTENANCE

Handling CDs
This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs and CD-Rs.

• Other discs cannot be played back.

How to handle CDs
When removing a CD from its case, press down the center holder of the case and lift the CD out, holding it by the edges.

• Always hold the CD by the edges. Do not touch its recording surface. When storing a CD into its case, gently insert the CD around the center holder (with the printed surface facing up).
• Make sure to store CDs into the cases after use.

To keep CDs clean
A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

To play new CDs
New CDs may have some rough spots around the inner and outer edges. If such a CD is used, this unit may reject the CD. To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

About mistracing:
Mistracing may result from driving on extremely rough roads. This does not damage the unit and the CD, but will be annoying.
We recommend that you stop CD play while driving on such rough roads.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player in the following cases:

• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.

Should this occur, the CD player may malfunction. In this case, eject the CD and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.
When playing a CD-R (Recordable)
You can play back your original CD-Rs on this receiver.

• Before playing back CD-Rs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs recorded on CD recorders may not be played back on this receiver because of their disc characteristics, and of the following reasons:
  – Discs are dirty or scratched.
  – Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit.
  – The pickup lens inside the CD player is dirty.
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs.
• CD-RWs (Rewritable) cannot be played back on this receiver.
• Do not use CD-Rs with stickers or sticking labels on the surface. They may cause malfunctions.

CAUTIONS:

• Do not insert 8 cm CDs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such CDs cannot be ejected.)
• Do not insert any CD of unusual shape — like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a malfunction.
• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in a car.
• Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean CDs.
