IMPORTANT FOR LASER PRODUCTS
1. CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
2. CAUTION: Do not open the top cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit; leave all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
3. CAUTION: Visible and invisible laser radiation when open and interlock failed or defeated. Avoid
ENGLISH
direct exposure to beam.
4. REPRODUCTION OF LABEL: CAUTION LABEL, PLACED OUTSIDE THE UNIT.
Caution:
If the temperature inside the car is below 0˚ C, the movement of animation and text scroll will be halted on
the display to prevent the display from being blurred. (LOW TEMP.) indicator appears on the display.
When the temperature increases, the operating temperature is resumed, and these functions will start
working again.
CAUTION on Volume Setting:
Discs produce very little noise compared with other sources. If the volume level is adjusted for the tuner, for
example, the speakers may be damaged by the sudden increase in the output level. Therefore, lower the
volume before playing a disc and adjust it as required during playback.
Note:
For security reasons, a numbered ID card is provided with this unit, and the same ID number is imprinted on
the unit’s chassis. Keep the card in a safe place, as it will help the authorities to identify your unit if stolen.
How to reset your unit
Press the reset button on the control panel using a ballpoint pen or a similar tool.
This will reset the built-in
microcomputer.
Note:
Your preset adjustments—such
as preset channels or sound
adjustments—will also be
erased.
CAUTION:
NEVER insert your finger in
between the control panel and
the unit, as it may
get caught or
hurt.

or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the
car becomes normal before operating the unit.

To tune in to FM stations only with strong
signals—LO/DX (Local/Distance-extreme)
While searching FM stations (including SSM—
see page 12), this unit stops searching whenever
it detects signals (DX mode: The DX indicator is
lit—initial setting). If received signals are weak,
you may only hear noises.
By setting LO/DX to “Local,” you can make this
unit detects only stations with sufficient signal
strength.
1 Press M (MODE) while listening to an FM
broadcast.
“Mode” appears on the display.
The next-step-operation buttons
start flashing.
ENGLISH
To tune in to stations of lower frequencies
• If you release your finger from the button,
the manual mode automatically turns off
after about 5 seconds.
• If you hold down the button, the frequency
keeps changing (in 50 kHz intervals for
FM and 9 kHz for AM—MW/LW) until you
release the button.
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 also be 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 56.
See page 46 for this function.

RDS OPERATIONS
What you can do with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to
send an additional signal along with their regular
programme signals. For example, the stations
ENGLISH
send their station names, as well as information
about what type of programme they broadcast,
such as sports or music, etc.
Another advantage of RDS function is called
“Enhanced Other Networks.” By using the
Enhanced Other Networks data sent from a
station, you can tune in to a different station of a
different network broadcasting your favorite
programme or traffic announcement while
listening to another programme or to another
source such as CD.
By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the
following:
• Tracing the same programme automatically
(Network-Tracking Reception)
• Traffic News Standby Reception or your
favorite programme
• PTY (Programme Type) search
• Programme search
• And some other functions
Tracing the same programme
automatically (Network-Tracking
Reception)
When driving in an area where FM reception is
not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically
tunes in to another RDS station, broadcasting the
same programme with stronger signals. So, you
can continue to listen to the same programme in
its finest reception, no matter where you drive.
(See the illustration on page 22.)
Two types of the RDS data are used to make
Network-Tracking Reception work correctly
—PI (Programme Identification) and AF
(Alternative Frequency).
Without receiving these data correctly from the
RDS station you are listening to, NetworkTracking Reception will not operate.
To use Network-Tracking Reception
You can select the different modes of networktracking reception to continue listening to the
same programme in its finest reception.
When shipped from the factory, “AF” is selected.
• AF: Network-Tracking Reception is
activated without Regionalization.
With this setting, the unit switches to
another station within the same
network when the receiving signals
from the current station become
weak. (In this mode, the programme
may differ from the one currently
received.)
The AF indicator lights up.
• AF Reg: Network-Tracking Reception is
• Off*: Network-Tracking Reception is
Note:
If Alternative Reception (for DAB services) is
activated, Network-Tracking Reception is also
activated (“AF”) automatically. On the other hand,
Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated
without deactivating Alternative Reception. (See page
29.)

With this setting, the unit switches to
another station, within the same
network, broadcasting the same
programme when the receiving
signals from the current station
become weak.
The REG indicator lights up.

Press number button 4 to select
“TUNER”—Tuner category of the
PSM settings.
The “PTY Stnby” (standby) setting screen

Using Traffic News Standby Reception
Traffic News Standby Reception allows the unit
to switch temporarily to Traffic Announcement
(TA) from the current source (another FM station,
DAB, CD, or other connected components).
• Traffic News Standby Reception will not work if you
are listening to an AM station.
Press TP/PTY to activate Traffic
News Standby Reception.
Each time your press the button,
this function is turned on and off

5
Finish the setting.
7 When the current source is FM or DAB, the
TP indicator either lights up or flashes.
• If the TP indicator lights up, Traffic News
Standby Reception is activated.
If a station (or service) starts broadcasting a
traffic announcement, “Traffic News” appears
on the display, and this unit automatically
tunes in to the station (or service). The
volume changes to the preset TA volume
level (see page 21) and the traffic
announcement can be heard.
• If the TP indicator flashes, Traffic News
Standby Reception is not yet activated since
the station (or service) being received does
not provide the signals used for Traffic News
Standby Reception.
To activate Traffic News Standby Reception,
you need to tune in to another station
providing these signals. Press ¢ or
4 to search for such a station.
When a station (or service) providing these
signals is tuned in, the TP indicator stops
flashing and remains lit. Now Traffic News
Standby Reception is activated.
