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.
