Each time you press the button, the display patterns change as follows.

EX.: When playing a CD

Large animation display

Small animation displays*

Clock time display

Canceling the display demonstration

When shipped from the factory, display demonstration (MovieDemo) has been activated, and starts automatically when no operations are done for about 20 seconds.

• It is recommended to cancel the demonstration before you use the unit for the first time.

To cancel the display demonstration, follow the procedure below:

Press and hold SEL (select) for more than 2 seconds so that “MovieDemo” appears on the display . (PSM: see page 30.)

Select “Off.”

* Small animation displays are used for showing

not only the source’s main information (illustrated on this page as examples), but also showing some other information. For details, see each related section.

In this manual, the illustrations of the display are mainly of the large animation display (initial setting). If you have changed the display patterns or some PSM items, the actual displays you see will be different.

Note:

While playing a source, you can also show the level meter on the display. For details, see “Activating the level meter” on page 28.

Press SEL (select) to finish the setting.

To activate the display demonstration, repeat

ENGLISH

Listening to the radio

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).

FM1 FM2 FM3 AM

Last received station of the selected band is tuned in.

Note:

This receiver has three FM bands (FM1, FM2, FM3). You can use any one of them to listen to an FM broadcast.

Start searching a station.

Press ¢ to search stations of higher frequencies.

Press 4 to search stations of lower frequencies.

Ex.: When the band is FM

When a station is received, searching stops.

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).

ENGLISH

FM1 FM2 FM3 AM

Note:

This receiver has three FM bands (FM1, FM2, FM3). You can use any one of them to listen to an FM broadcast.

Press and hold ¢ or 4 until “Manual Search” starts flashing on the display.

Tune in to a station you want while “Manual Search” is flashing.

When an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive:

1 Press MODE (M) to enter the

functions mode while listening to an FM stereo broadcast. “Mode” appears on the display.

2 Press MO (monaural), while

“Mode” is still on the display, so that the MO indicator is highlighted on the display. Each time you press MO, “Mono On” and “Mono Off” alternately appears.

MONO indicator

“STEREO” is lit when receiving an FM broadcast in stereo.

MO indicator

Press ¢ to tune in to stations of higher frequencies.

Press 4 to tune in to stations of lower frequencies.

• If you release your finger from the button, the manual mode will automatically turn 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 the MONO indicator is lit on the display, the sound you hear becomes monaural but the reception will be improved.

If the sound quality decreases and the stereo effect is lost while listening to an FM station

In some areas, adjacent stations may interfere with each other. If this interference occurs, this unit can automatically reduce this interference noise (the initial setting when shipped from the factory). However, in this case, the sound quality will be degraded and the stereo effect will be also lost. If you do not want to degrade the sound quality and to lose the stereo effect, rather than to eliminate the interference noise, see “To change the FM tuner selectivity—IF Filter” on page 32.

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 (Strongstation Sequential Memory)

• Manual preset of both FM and AM stations

FM station automatic preset: SSM

Y ou 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:

FM1 FM2 FM3 AM

Press and hold both buttons for more than 2 seconds.

Manual preset

You can preset up to 6 stations in each band (FM1, FM2, FM3 and AM) manually.

Ex.: Stor ing an FM station of 88.3 MHz into the

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:

FM1 FM2 FM3 AM

Tune in to a station (in this example, of 88.3 MHz).

Press ¢ to tune in to stations of higher frequencies.

Press 4 to tune in to stations of lower frequencies.

ENGLISH

“–SSM–” appears, 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.

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

The display pattern automatically changes to the small animation display and the preset number flashes (then the previous display pattern resumes).

CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE

Repeat the above procedure to store other stations into other preset numbers.

ENGLISH

Note:

A previously preset station is er ased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.

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 page 11.

Selecting a preset station directly

Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM).

FM1 FM2 FM3 AM

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

Note:

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

Selecting a preset station using the preset station list

If you forget what stations are stored in what preset numbers, you can check the preset station list, then select your desired station on the list.

Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM).

FM1 FM2 FM3 AM

Press and hold 5 (up) or ∞ (down) until the preset station list for the current band (FM1, FM2, FM3, or AM) appears on the display.

Changing the display pattern

By pressing DISP (D), you can change the information shown on the display.

• When receiving an AM or FM station

Large animation display

Small animation display

Each time you press the button, the display patterns change as follows:

If a name has been assigned to a station, it will be shown instead of “NO NAME.”

ENGLISH

Notes:

• If one of FM band preset station lists (FM1, FM2, or FM3) is shown on the display, you can show the other lists by pressing 5 or ∞.

• If a name has been assigned to a station (see page 35), it will be shown instead of the station frequency.
