TUNER

Understanding the Difficulties of FM Reception in Your Car

FM radio waves are transmitted in the very high frequency range (VHF). These waves move in straight lines, much like light. Tall buildings, hills and mountains, or other obstructions may cause “shadows” or loss of signal, noted by a momentary “hissing” noise in the reception.

These obstructions found in day-to-day urban travel can reflect or bounce the signal. When reflected and direct signals arrive at the radio’s antenna together, a similar noise problem may occur, called multi-path interference.

In addition, the vehicle itself can be the culprit, creating various types of impulse noise (usually associated with the vehicle’s ignition and/or other parts of the electrical system), which again will deteriorate signal quality.

The

AM/FM Tuner

combines both AM and FM tuners into one small, unique package. The design incorporates many advanced technologies exclusively engineered to improve FM and AM performance.

Signal Actuated Stereo Control (SASC)

In weak signal conditions, the SASC circuit will provide optimum, low noise reception. As the signal weakens, stereo separation is smoothly converted to a monaural signal with a gradual “cut-back” on high frequency reproduction, minimizing “hiss” and noise.

Balanced Mixer FM Front-End – Dual-Gate FET

The balanced mixer pre-amp section is designed to provide a uniform signal to the tuner – creating the best possible noise-free reception. A variable gain stage automatically controls the amplitude of the signal according to the incoming signal strength. As the signal deteriorates or weakens, the gain is “increased” to ensure the highest quality signal with the least amount of noise. When signal strength becomes very strong, the gain is reduced, avoiding unnecessary distortion.

Triple Stage Narrow Band IF Filters

The new triple stage IF and ceramic filter system enables the tuner to “focus” on the selected frequency – ignoring stronger or nearer stations to prevent frequency “hopping.” With this type of narrow band filtering, the selectivity of the tuner can be increased.

Symptom Cause Measure

Power does not switch on. (There is no sound produced.)

The fuse has blown. Replace the fuse with one of the same rating.

If the fuse blows again, contact the store where you purchased the unit.

Wiring is incomplete. See “Installation/Wire Connection Guide (es-

pecially, Section 6. Wire Connections)” of this manual and connect properly.

Sound quality is poor. The head is dirty. Use a cleaning tape, etc. to clean the head.

The Dolby NR button is not pressed.

Turn the Dolby NR button on when listening to tapes recorded with the Dolby NR system.

Picture is dark. BRIGHT (brightness) adjust-

ment is not appropriate.

Select the CONFIGURATION display and adjust the BRIGHT (brightness) properly.

Poor usage conditions The temperature in the car may be below 32°F

(0°C) or above 140°F (60°C). Check the display again when the internal temperature is between 32°F (0°C) to 140°F (60°C).

Colors are pale or hue is poor.

COLOR (tone of color) and HUE are not adjusted appropriately.

Select the CONFIGURATION display and adjust the color and hue density using the COLOR and HUE controls.

Nothing happens when buttons are pressed, or the display is not accurate.

Noise, etc., is causing the microprocessor to malfunction.

Press the reset button with the tip of a very fine instrument for about 2 seconds.

Spots or stripes on picture Interference signals This may be caused by interference from other

cars, trains, high voltage lines, neon lights, etc. Check again in another place.

The compact disc does not enter.

There is already a compact disc inside the disc insertion slot.

Eject the compact disc and then insert another one.

The operation panel is not set to the maximum angle.

Press CD (eject) button 3 or set the operation panel to the maximum angle.

Sound skipping noise and other noise are heard.

The compact disc is dirty. Wipe the compact disc with a soft cloth. The compact disc is severely

scratched or warped.

Replace the compact disc with one that is in good condition.

The sound is poor immediately after switching on the power.

When the car is parked in a humid place, dew might form on the internal lens.

Turn the unit on and wait for about 1 hour before operating.
