1 Press SOURCE (ATT) to select AM or FM as the source. 2 If necessary, press and hold MODE BAND to select the

FM band number (FM1, FM2 or FM3.)

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

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). Ho we ver , 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 eff ect, rather than to eliminate the interference noise, see “To change the FM tuner selectivity” on page 55.

RDS OPERATIONS

What you can do with RDS EON

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as

ENGLISH

information about what type of programme they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. Another advantage of RDS function is called “EON (Enhanced Other Networks).” The EON indicator lights up while receiving an FM station with the EON data. By using the EON data sent from a station, you can tune into 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)

• Standby Reception of TA (Traffic Announcement) or your favorite programme

• PTY (Programme Type) search

• TP (Traffic Programme) search

• And some other functions

Tracing the same programme automatically (NetworkTracking Reception)

When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically tune in another RDS station, broadcasting the same programme with stronger signals. So, you can continue to listen to the same progr amme in its finest reception, no matter where you drive. (See the illustration on the next page.) 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, press and hold TP RDS (Traffic Programme/Radio Data System) for more than 1 second. Each time you press and hold the button, Network-Tracking Reception modes change as follows:

Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3

AF indicator

REG indicator

Mode 1

The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not. Network-Tracking is activated with Regionalization set to “off.” Switches to another station within the same network when the receiving signals from the current station become weak.

Note:

In this mode, the programme may differ from the one currently received.

Mode 2

Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up. Network-Tracking is activated with Regionalization set to “on.” Switches to another station, within the same network, broadcasting the same programme when the receiving signals from the current station become weak.

Mode 3

Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up. Network-Tracking is deactivated.

Note:

If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternative Reception (for D AB services) is activated, Network-Tr acking Reception is also activated automatically. On the other hand, Network-T racking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception. (See page 75.)

The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

ENGLISH

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency A

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency B

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency C

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency E

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency D

Using Standby Reception

Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favorite programme (PTY: Programme T ype) and T r affic Announcement (T A) from the current source (another FM station, CD and other connected components).

ENGLISH

Note:

Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station.

TA Standby Reception

• When you press TP RDS while listening to an FM station, the TP indicator is lit during reception of a TP (T raffic Prog ramme) station and the T A standby mode is engaged.

What is BBEII?

The BBEII* function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording, broadcasts, etc. When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing

ENGLISH

high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBE function adjusts the phase relationship between the low, mid and high frequencies by adding a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies reach the listener’s ears at the proper time. In addition, the BBE be less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation. When combined with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer, more finely detailed “live” presence.

VOICE COMMAND OPERATIONS

PLAY

What is Voice Recognition System?

The Voice Recognition System enables the voice command operations — “Speak a word. It will be done.”

ENGLISH

This System allows you to oper ate the receiver b y your spok en words with ease and safety. It has ended the risk of searching for push-buttons while you are on the road.

The Voice Recognition System provides you two operation modes — User Word mode and Standard Word mode (for demonstrations). In the User Word mode, you can use tw o types of commands — Operation Commands and Access Commands. The Operation Commands (13 in total) are preset by the factory and cover basic operations such as “turning off the pow er” and “ejecting the CD” (see the Preset Operation Command list on page 32). On the other hand, the Access Commands must be preset by y ourself, and be registered by your own voice. For example, you can preset an Access Command to choose a disc in the CD changer when you say “Pop music.” The Voice Recognition System responds to your command, giving you direct access to the disc. You need to preset what to do and what to speak for the Access Commands. In the User Word mode, both the Operation Commands and the Access Commands are speaker-dependent. So, they may be any phrase in any language (English, Spanish, even Japanese) as long as they are registered using your voice. This fact ensures that only you can operate this receiver by your voice.

Just f or demonstrations (voice demo — see page 45), there are also preregistered Standard Words (English). In the Standard Word mode, this System allows you to use only 13 Operation Commands. The Operation Commands are speaker-independent in the Standard Word mode, so the System recognizes and responds to an Operation Command spok en by anyone in English.

User Word mode

Features:

• Registration of your voice required before use.

• More commands available (13 Operation Commands and 12 Access Commands).

• Only your voice can be recognized.

• Any language can be recognized.

Features:

• No registration of commands

• Only 13 Operation Commands

• Anyone’s voice can be recognized.

• Only English can be recognized.

Before using the voice commands

Read carefully the following precautions.

STOP PLAY

Before you start...

• Make sure that the voice control unit, voice remote, and microphone are correctly connected. (Refer to the Installation/Connection Man ual separately supplied.)

• Set “VOICE/BEEP” to “VOICE,” and “VOICE LANG” to the language you understand (see page 47). This may make the voice command operations easy for you to follow.

Precautions for registering your voice:

• Words you should not use: –

Similarly-pronounced words: If you register words similarly pronounced for different commands, the Voice Recognition System cannot distinguish the differences and cannot recognize your voice.

–

Too short or too long words: Too short or too long words may be difficult to register. Use the words of adequate length (within 3 seconds).

• Where to register: Command registration should be performed in as quite a condition as possible with car windows all closed.

• Timing to speak your voice: Your voice will not be accepted unless the voice navigation “Please speak now,” “Please repeat” or “Please speak again” is finished completely. – Speak word(s) only while “SPEAK” or “REPEAT” is shown on the display. – Pronounce your words in a large, clear voice.

• Keep the ignition turned on during registration: Do not turn on or off the ignition.

Precautions when speaking your commands:

• Your voice commands may not be recognized or executed correctly in the following cases: – When road conditions are not good. (For example, you are driving on rough roads.) – When car windows are open and surrounding noise is high.

• In the User Word mode: If an operation different from one you have commanded is ex ecuted, or if your command is ignored so frequently , try to change and register different words again.

• In the Standard Word mode (for demonstrations): Due to the characteristics of y our voice, the Voice Recognition System may fail to recognize your Operation Commands you speak and they cannot be executed correctly. If this happens, use the User Word mode.

What is DAB system?

DAB is one of the digital radio broadcasting systems available today. It can deliver CD quality sound without any annoying interference and signal distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures and data. In contrast to FM broadcast, where each programme is transmitted on its o wn frequency, DAB combines several programmes (called “services”) to form one “ensemble.” With the DAB tuner connected with this unit, you can enjoy these DAB services.

• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high temperatur e and humidity. Do not leave them in a car.

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

When playing a CD-R (Recordable)

You can play back your original CD-Rs on this receiver.

• Before playing back CD-Rs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs recorded on CD recorders may not be played back on this receiver because of their disc characteristics, and of the following reasons: – Discs are dirty or scratched. – Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit. – The pickup lens inside the CD player is dirty.

• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs.

• CD-RWs (Rewritable) cannot be played back on this receiver.

• Do not use the CD-Rs with stickers or sticking labels on the surface. They may cause malfunctions.
