What you can do with RDS

Radio Data System (RDS) allows FM
stations to send an additional signal along
with their regular programme signals.

ENGLISH

By receiving the RDS data, this receiver can
do the following:

•

Programme Type (PTY) Search (see page 11)

• Standby Reception of Traffic
Announcement—TA (see the following) or
PTY (see pages 13 and 23)

•

Tracing the same programme automatically
—Network-Tracking Reception (see page 13)

• Programme Search (see page 23)

Storing your favorite programmes

You can store six favorite programme types.

other PTY codes into other preset
numbers.

4 Finish the procedure.

Using the standby receptions

You can use two types of Standby Reception—
TA Standby Reception and PTY Standby
Reception—both for FM station and DAB
services.

TA Standby Reception

TA Standby Reception allows the receiver
to switch temporarily to an FM RDS station
or a DAB service broadcasting Traffic
Announcement from any source other than AM.
The volume changes to the preset TA volume
level (see page 23).

1 Select a PTY code (see page 11).

2 Select the preset number (1 – 6) you

want to store into.

Ex.: When “SOCIAL” is stored

12

To activate TA Standby Reception

The TP indicator either

lights up or flashes.

• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby
Reception is activated.

• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby
Reception is not yet activated.
To activate TA Standby Reception, tune in
to another FM RDS station or DAB service
providing the signals required for TA Standby
Reception. The TP indicator will stop flashing
and remain lit.

To deactivate the TA Standby Reception

The TP indicator goes off.

PTY Standby Reception

PTY Standby Reception allows the receiver
to switch temporarily to your favorite PTY
programme from any source other than AM.

To select your favorite PTY code, and
activate the PTY Standby Reception, see

page 23.

• PTY Standby Reception also works for
searching a DAB service.

The PTY indicator either lights up or flashes.

• If the PTY indicator lights up, PTY Standby
Reception is activated.

• If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby
Reception is not yet activated.

To activate PTY Standby Reception, tune in

to another station or DAB service providing
the signals required for PTY Standby
Reception. The PTY indicator will stop
flashing and remain lit.

To deactivate the PTY Standby Reception,
select “OFF” for the PTY code (see page 23).
The PTY indicator goes off.

Tracking the same programme—

Network-Tracking Reception

When driving in an area where FM reception
is not sufficient enough, this receiver
automatically tunes in to another FM RDS
station of the same network, possibly
broadcasting the same programme with stronger
signals (see the illustration below).
When shipped from the factory, Network­Tracking Reception is activated.

To change the Network-Tracking Reception
setting, see “AF-REG” on page 23.

What is DAB system?

DAB can deliver CD quality sound without
any annoying interference and signal
distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text,
pictures, and data. When transmitting,
DAB combines several programmes (called
“services”) to form one “ensemble.” In
addition, each “service”—called “primary
service”—can also be divided into its
components (called “secondary service”).
A typical ensemble has six or more
programmes (services) broadcast at the same
time.
This receiver can do the following:

•

—Alternative Frequency Reception (see
“DAB AF” on page 24).

Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the
connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to
damage the connectors.

Connector

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 disc and
leave the receiver turned on for a few hours
until the moisture evaporates.

To keep discs clean

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

• Do not use any solvent (for example,
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.

To play new discs

preset station is erased when a new station is
stored in the same preset number.

FM RDS operations

• If you want to know more about RDS, visit
«http://www.rds.org.uk».

• Network-Tracking Reception requires two
types of RDS signals—PI (Programme
Identification) and AF (Alternative
Frequency) to work correctly. Without
receiving these data correctly, Network­Tracking Reception will not operate.

• If a Traffic Announcement is received, the
volume level (TA Volume) automatically
changes to the preset level.

• If Alternative Frequency Reception for DAB
services (DAB AF) is activated, Network­Tracking Reception (AF-REG) is also
activated automatically. On the other hand,
Network-Tracking Reception cannot be
deactivated without deactivating Alternative
Frequency Reception.

CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/
CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA),
MP3 and WMA format.

• When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD”
for the playback source starts disc play.

Inserting a disc

• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc
automatically ejects.

MP3/WMA files.

• This receiver can play back multi-session
discs; however, unclosed sessions will be
skipped while playing.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play
back on this receiver because of their disc
characteristics, and for the following causes:

– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens

inside the receiver.
– The pickup lens inside the receiver is dirty.
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are

written with “Packet Write” method.
– There are improper recording conditions

(missing data, etc.) or media conditions

(stain, scratch, warp, etc.).

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time

since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower
than that of regular CDs.

• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal

stuck to the surface.
– Discs on which labels can be directly

printed by an ink jet printer.
Using these discs under high temperatures or

high humidities may cause malfunctions or
damages to discs.
