You can use either automatic searching or manual searching to tune in to a particular station.

Searching a station automatically: Auto search

Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM).

Each time you press the button, the band changes as follows:

FM 1 FM 2 FM 3 A M

Lights up when receiving an FM stereo broadcast with sufficient signal strength.

To stop searching before a station is received, press the same button you have

pressed for searching.

Searching a station manually: Manual search

Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM).

Each time you press the button, the band changes as follows:

To search stations of lower frequencies When a station is received, searching stops.

Press and hold ¢ or 4 until “M” (manual) starts flashing on the display.

Tune in to a station you want while “M” (manual) is flashing.

To tune in to stations of higher frequencies

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

ENGLISH

To tune in to stations of lower frequencies

• If you release your finger from the button, the manual mode will automatically turns off after 5 seconds.

• If you hold down the button, the frequency keeps changing (in 200 kHz intervals for FM and 10 kHz for AM) until you release the button.

When an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive:

1 Press M MODE to enter the

functions mode while listening to an FM stereo broadcast.

2 Press MO (monaural), while

“MODE” is still flashing on the display, so that the "MONO" appears on the display. Each time you press the button, monaural mode turns on and off alternately.

FM station automatic preset: SSM

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

Select the FM band (FM1 – 3) you want to store FM stations into.

Each time you press the button, the band changes as follows:

FM 1 FM 2 FM 3 A M

Press M MODE to enter the functions mode.

Press and hold SSM for about 2 seconds.

MO (monaural) indicator

When the MO indicator is lit on the display, the sound you hear becomes monaural but the reception will be improved.

SSM flashes, then disappears when automatic preset is over.

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 92.5 MHz into the

ENGLISH

preset number 1 of the FM1 band.

Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM) you want to store stations into (in this example, FM1).

Each time you press the button, the band changes as follows:

FM 1 FM 2 FM 3 A M

Tune in to a station (in this example, of 92.5 MHz).

To tune in to stations of higher frequencies

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 pages 11 and 12.

Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM).

Each time you press the button, the band changes as follows:

To tune in to stations of lower frequencies

Press and hold the number button (in this example, 1) for more than 2 seconds.

Preset number flashes for a few seconds

FM 1 FM 2 FM 3 A M

Select the number (1 – 6) for the preset station you want.

Note:

You can also use the 5 (up) or ∞ (down) button on the unit to select the next or previous preset stations. Each time you press the 5 (up) or ∞ (down) button, the next or previous preset station is tuned in.

MP3/WMA INTRODUCTION

What are MP3/WMA?

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10 (128 Kbps*).

* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one

second of audio data will consume. The unit used is Kbps. To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is 128 Kbps.

WMA (Windows Media audio compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation.

• For details information about the MP3/WMA discs, refer to “A Guide to MP3/WMA” (separate volume).

Compatible with ID3 Tag

Extra information data such as album title, performer name, song title, recording year, music genre and a brief comment can be stored within an MP3/WMA file.

This unit can show both ID3v1 (Version 1) and ID3v2 (Version 2) tags on the display. (See page

19.)

• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.

• If both ID3v1 and ID3v2 are recorded on a

disc, ID3v2 information will be shown.

Audio) is the digital

How are MP3/WMA files recorded and played back?

MP3/WMA “files (tracks)” can be recorded in “folders” —in PC terminology. During recording, the files and folders can be arranged in a way similar to arranging files and folders of computer data. “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file and folder can be linked to and be accessed from the root.

The illustration below shows an example of how MP3/WMA files are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played back, and how they are searched for on this unit.

Notes:

• This unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without the extension code <.mp3> and a WMA track without the extension code <.wma>.

• This unit is not compatible with MP3 files encoded with Layer 1 and Layer 2 formats.

• This unit is not compatible with WMA files which are not based upon Windows Media

• This unit is not compatible with Playlist**.

**A playlist is a simple text file, used on a PC, which

enables users to make their own playback order without physically rearranging the files.
