How to read this manual

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

•Some related tips and notes are explained in “More about this receiver” (see pages

31 – 33).

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

Press briefly.

Press repeatedly.

How to use the M MODE button

If you press M MODE, the receiver goes into functions mode, then the number buttons and 5/∞ buttons work as different function buttons.

Ex.: When number button 2 works as MO (monaural) button.

Press either one.

Press and hold until your desired response begins.

Press and hold both buttons at the same time.

The following marks are used to indicate...

: Built-in CD player operations.

: External CD changer operations.

Time countdown indicator

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

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

•Pressing M MODE again also clears the functions mode.

Caution on volume setting:

Discs produce very little noise compared with other sources. Lower the volume before playing a disc to avoid damaging the speakers by the sudden increase of the output level.

ENGLISH	What you can do with RDS
	RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM
	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 11)
	• Standby Reception of Traffic
	Announcement—TA (see the following) or
	your favorite programme (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.

Preset programme types in the number buttons (1 to 6):

1 Select a PTY code (see page 11).

2 Select the preset number (1 – 6) you want to store into.

3Repeat steps 1 and 2 to store other PTY codes into other preset numbers.

4Finish the procedure.

Using the standby receptions

•If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby 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.

Ex.: When “ROCK M” is selected

12

PTY Standby Reception

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

To activate and select your favorite PTY code for PTY Standby Reception, see page 23.

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 providing these signals. 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—	ENGLISH
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, Network-
Tracking Reception is activated.
To change the Network-Tracking Reception
setting, see “AF-REG” on page 23.
