Caution:
This product contains a laser component
of higher laser class than Class 1.
CAUTION on Volume Setting
CDs and MDs produce very little noise compared with other sour ces. If the v olume level is adjusted
for the tuner, for example , the speakers may be damaged by the sudden incr ease in the output level.
Therefore, lower the volume before playing a disc and adjust it as required during playback.
3. CAUTION: Do not open the top cover.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Leave all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
4. CAUTION: This CD player uses invisible
laser radiation and is equipped with safety
switches to prevent radiation emission
when unloading CDs. It is dangerous to
defeat the safety switches.
5. CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments or
performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
Note:
For security reasons, a numbered ID card is provided with this unit, and the same ID number is

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 program 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 signals, 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 (Program Type) search
• TA (Traffic Announcement) 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
tunes in 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 illustration.)
Two types of the RDS signals are used to make Network-Tracking Reception work correctly
— PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency) data.
Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, NetworkTracking Reception will not operate.
10
TP
To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and hold TP/RDS (Traffic
RDS
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
Mode 1 (AF:on / REG:off)
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 (AF:on / REG:on)
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 (AF:off / REG:off)
Network-Tracking is deactivated.
The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

Using Standby Reception
Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favorite programme (PTY:
Programme Type) and Traf fic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM station,
MD, CD, and other connected components).
ENGLISH
Note:
Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station.

Other convenient RDS functions
Automatic selection of the station when using the number
buttons
ENGLISH
Usually when you press the number button, the preset station is tuned in.
However, when the preset station is an RDS station, something different will happen. If the
signals from that preset station are not sufficient for good reception, this unit starts searching
another station broadcasting the same programme as the original preset station is broadcasting,
then if any station broadcasting the same programme is found, the station will be tuned in.
Changing the display mode while listening to an FM
station
You can change the initial indication on the display to either station name (PS) or to station
frequency, while listening to an FM RDS station.
