CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

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 volume 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 r equired 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 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.

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 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.

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.

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency E

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency A

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency B

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency C

ENGLISH

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency D

Using Standby Reception

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

Note:

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

TA Standby Reception

TP RDS

• When TP/RDS is pressed briefly in the FM mode, the TP indicator is lit during reception of a TP station and the TA standby mode is engaged.

Note:

When the station being received is not a TP station, the TP indicator flashes. Pr ess

If a T A programme starts broadcasting while the TA standby mode is active, “TRAFFIC” appears and the FM mode is engaged. The volume increases to the preset “TA VOLUME” level and the TA programme can be heard (see page 16).

Note:

To deactivate the TA standby mode, press TP/RDS again.

PTY Standby Reception

PTY

Other convenient RDS functions

Automatic selection of the station when using the number buttons

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.

• See also “Changing the general settings (PSM)” on page 31.

1. Press and hold SEL (select) for more than 2 seconds so that “PSM” appears on the lower part of the display.

2. Select “DISPLAY MODE” with ¢

3. Set to the desired indication (either station name or station frequency) with the control dial.
