9 AUDIO SETTING MEMORIES (P1/P2/P3)

Three pre-set buttons are provided on this unit to store desired audio level positions into memories which can be easily recalled. To set any of the 3 audio memories, use the following procedure:

1. Use the Select button 3 and Level Control 2 to adjust the volume, treble, bass, balance and fader to the desired settings.

2. Press the Select button 3 to call any of the audio functions on the display . W ithin 2 seconds of pressing the Select button and while the audio function is still on the display panel, press the pre-set button (1 through 3) to be set and continue to hold it in. After approximately 2 seconds, the volume will be momentarily muted and the pre-set number (“P-1”, “P-2”, or “P-3”) will appear on the display panel indicating that the audio levels are now set into that memory position (release the button). The settings can be recalled at any time by pressing the Select button 3 and then that pre-set button within 2 seconds.

bl SPECTRUM ANALYZER DISPLAY SELECTOR (DIS)

This unit is capable of displaying the spectrum analyzer in 4 different modes as selected in sequence with each press of the button as follows:

1. Standard spectrum display - the signal level is shown by the height of the bars in each band.

2. Peak-hold spectrum display - the bar of the peak level within each band is momentarily held on the display.

3. Downward spectrum display - the signal level is shown by the depth of the bars in each band.

4. Downward peak-hold spectrum display - the bar of the peak level within each band is momentarily held on the display before dropping downward.

bm AUDIO MUTE (M)

This button is used to mute the volume from the system. By pressing the button, the indication “MUTE” will appear on the display panel and the volume will be muted. Pressing the Mute button again or activating any other function of the unit will return to the volume level setting in use before the Mute function was activated.

bn AM/FM BAND SELECTOR (BAND)

During radio operation, each momentary press of this button will change the radio band. The indication “AM1”, “AM2”, “FM1”, “FM2”, or “FM3” will appear on the display panel according to your selection.

During CD, CD changer or AUX input operation, pressing this button will have no effect. Press the Mode Selector bt to return to radio mode and then press the Band Selector.

bo MANUAL UP/DOWN TUNING ( / )

AUTOMATIC SEEK TUNING

Each time the button is tapped upward, the radio will tune one frequency step higher. Similarly, each tap of the button downward will tune one frequency step lower. To manually tune in a station, tap the button in the appropriate direction until the desired frequency is reached.

Moving the button upward or downward for longer than 0.5 seconds and then releasing will activate the Automatic Seek Tuning function. The radio will seek the next available station in the selected direction and stop at that frequency. The Seek function can be stopped by moving the button again or activating any other tuning function.

-3-

Moving and holding the button upward or downward for longer than 0.5 seconds will cause the radio to continue tuning rapidly in the selected direction until the button is released at which point it will seek to the next available station.

bp AUTO-STORE TUNING (AS)

PRE-SET SCAN TUNING (PS)

During radio operation, press this button momentarily to scan the 6 stations pre-set into the memories of that band. The unit will stop at each pre-set station for 5 seconds before continuing to the next pre-set station (the pre-set number on the display panel will flash during Pre-Set Scan operation). Press the button again momentarily to stop Pre-Set Scan operation and remain on the selected frequency.

Pressing the button for longer than 2 seconds will activate the Auto-Store Tuning feature which will automatically scan the band and enter up to 6 strong stations into the 6 pre-set memories (the indication “AST” will appear on the display panel to show that Auto-Store Tuning is in progress). After entering the stations into the memories, the unit will automatically stop at each station for 5 seconds so each can be heard. If you have already set the preset memories to your favorite stations, activating the Auto-Store feature will erase those stations and enter the new strong stations. This feature is most useful when traveling in a new area where you are not familiar with the local stations.

bq STATION PRE-SET MEMORIES

To set any of the 6 pre-set memories in each band, use the fol lowing procedure:

1. Turn the radio on and select the desired band.

2. Select the first station to be pre-set using the Manual Up/Down or Automatic Seek Tuning Controls bo.

3. Press the pre-set button to be set and continue to hold it in. After approximately 2 seconds, the pre-set number of the button will appear on the display panel, indicating that the station is now set into that pre-set memory position. The station can now be recalled at any time by pressing that button.

4. Repeat the above procedure for the remaining 5 pre-sets on that band and for the other 4 bands on the unit.

br LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL

The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel displays the frequency, time, and activated functions.

NOTE:It is a characteristic of LCD panels that, if subjected to cold

temperatures for an extended period of time, they may take longer to illuminate than under normal conditions. In addition, the visibility of the numbers on the LCD may slightly decrease. The LCD read-out will return to normal when the temperature increases to a normal range.

bs SPECTRUM ANALYZER DISPLAY

The Spectrum Analyzer Display feature incorporated in this unit breaks down the audio frequency spectrum into 7 bands and provides a visual indication of the amount of audio signal within each of these bands. The instantaneous signal level in each band is shown by the number of illuminated bars (1 to 9).

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The radio section of your new sound system does not require any maintenance. We recommend you keep this manual for reference on the many features found in this unit as well as how to set the clock.

The compact disc player section also requires no routine maintenance, but proper understanding of its use and handling will help you obtain maximum enjoyment of its capabilities. The following points should be observed:

l When cleaning the interior of the vehicle, do not get water or

cleaning fluids on the unit.

l The CD player is a precision instrument and will not operate

properly in extreme hot or cold. In case of such conditions, wait until the interior temperature of the vehicle reaches a normal temperature before using the player.

l If the temperature inside the player gets too hot, a protective circuit

will automatically stop play of the disc. In this case, allow the unit to cool off before operating the player again.

l Never insert anything other than a 5" (12 cm) compact disc into the

player as the mechanism can be damaged by foreign objects.

l Do not attempt to use 3" (8 cm) CD-Single discs in this unit,

either with or without an adaptor, as damage to the player and/or disc may occur. Such damage will not be covered by the Warranty on this product.

l When not using the disc player, always remove the compact

disc. Do not leave an ejected disc sitting in the disc slot as this can expose it to sunlight and other causes of damage.

l Do not attempt to open the unit chassis. There are no user

serviceable parts or adjustments inside.

l When the vehicle warms up during cold weather or under damp

conditions, moisture may condense on the lens of the disc player. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly until the moisture has evaporated.

l The unit is designed with a vibration dampening CD mechanism to

minimize interruption of disc play due to normal vibration in a moving vehicle. When driving on very rough roads, however, occasional sound skips may occur. This will not scratch or damage the disc and normal play will resume when the rough conditions cease.

HANDLING COMPACT DISCS

Dirt, dust, scratches, and warpage can cause skips in the playback and deterioration of sound quality. Please follow these guidelines to take care of your compact discs:

l Use only compact discs with the mark . l Fingerprints, dust, and dirt should be carefully wiped off the disc’s

playing surface (shiny side) with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.

l Never use chemicals such as record sprays, household cleaners

or thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals can irreparably damage the disc’s surface.

l Discs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use. l Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high

humidity for extended periods.

l Do not stick paper, tape, or labels on the disc surfaces nor write

on them with any type of marker.
