ENGLISH

For safety....

• Do not raise the volume level too much, as
this will block outside sounds, making driving
dangerous.

• Stop the car before performing any
complicated operations.

Temperature inside the car....

If you have parked the car for a long time in
hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature
in the car becomes normal before operating the
unit.

How to read this manual

The following methods are used to make the
explanations simple and easy-to-understand:

• Some related tips and notes are explained in

ENGLISH

“More about this receiver” (see page 21).

• Button operations are mainly explained with
the illustrations as follows:

Press briefly.

Press repeatedly.

Press either one.

Press and hold until
your desired response
begins.

How to use the MODE button

If you press MODE, the receiver goes into
functions mode, then the number buttons work
as different function buttons.

Ex.: When number button 2 works as

MO (monaural) button.

Time countdown indicator

To use these buttons for original functions
again after pressing MODE, wait for

5 seconds without pressing any of these buttons
until the functions mode is cleared.

• Pressing MODE again also clears the
functions mode.

Press and hold both
buttons at the same
time.

stations to send an additional signal along
with their regular programme signals.
By receiving the RDS data, this receiver can
do the following:

•

Programme Type (PTY) Search (see page 10)

• Standby Reception of Traffic
Announcement —TA (see the following) or
your favorite programme (PTY) (see pages
12 and 18)

•

Tracing the same programme automatically

—Network-Tracking Reception (see page 12)

• Programme Search (see page 18)

Storing your favorite programmes

You can store six favorite programme types.

Reception is not yet activated. (This occurs
when you are listening to an FM station
without the RDS signals required for TA
Standby Reception.)

To activate TA Standby Reception, tune in to

another station providing these signals. The
TP indicator will stop flashing and remain lit.

To deactivate the TA Standby Reception

The TP indicator goes off.

Detaching the control panel

When detaching or attaching the control panel,
be careful not to damage the connectors on
the back of the control panel and on the panel
holder.

Detaching the control panel

Before detaching the control panel, be sure to
turn off the power.

Maintenance

How to clean the connectors

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the
connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe

ENGLISH

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

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

How to handle discs

When removing a disc from
its case, press down the center

holder of the case and lift the
disc out, holding it by the
edges.

• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not
touch its recording surface.

When storing a disc into its case, gently insert
the disc around the center holder (with the
printed surface facing up).

• Make sure to store discs into the cases after
use.

Do not use the following discs:

Warped

More about this receiver

Basic operations

Turning on the power

• By pressing CD or FM/AM on the receiver,
you can also turn on the power.

Turning off the power

• If you turn off the power while listening to a
disc, disc play will start from where playback
has been stopped previously, next time you
turn on the power.

Tuner operations

Storing stations in memory

• During SSM search...

– All previously stored stations are erased and

stations are stored newly.

– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest

frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).

– When SSM is over, the station stored in

No. 1 will be automatically tuned in.

• When storing a station manually, a previously
preset station is erased when a new station is
stored in the same preset number.

FM RDS operations

• 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.

Disc operations

General

• This receiver has been designed to reproduce
CDs, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs
(Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA) 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.

• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and
unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into
the loading slot.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

• 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 or 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.

Changing the source

• If you change the source, playback also stops

(without ejecting the disc).

Next time you select “CD” for the playback

source, disc play starts from where it has been
stopped previously.

Ejecting a disc

• If the ejected disc is not removed within

15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted
again into the loading slot to prevent it from
dust. (Disc will not play this time.)

General settings—PSM

• If you change the “AMP GAIN” setting from

“HIGH PWR” to “LOW PWR” while the
volume level is set higher than “VOL 30,” the
receiver automatically changes the volume
level to “VOL 30.”
