TA Standby Reception
TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch
temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from any
source other than AM.
The volume changes to the preset TA volume level if the
current level is lower than the preset level (see
page 17).
To activate TA Standby Reception
The TP (Traffic Programme)
indicator either lights up or flashes.
• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby Reception is
activated.
• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby Reception is
not yet activated. (This occurs when you are listening
to an FM station without the Radio Data System
signals required for TA Standby Reception.)
To activate the reception, tune in to another station
providing these signals. The TP indicator will stop
flashing and remain lit.
To deactivate the TA Standby Reception
The TP indicator goes off.
PTY Standby Reception
PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to switch

Network-Tracking Reception
When driving in an area where FM reception is not
sufficient enough, this unit automatically tunes in to
another FM Radio Data System station of the same
network, possibly broadcasting the same programme
with stronger signals (see the illustration below).
When shipped from the factory, Network-Tracking
Reception is activated.

unit, using the AF data, tunes in to another frequency
possibly broadcasting the same programme as the
original preset station is broadcasting.
• The unit takes some time to tune in to another
station using programme search.

More about this unit
Basic operations
Turning on the power
ENGLISH
• By pressing SRC button on the unit, you can also turn
on the power. If the source is ready, playback also
starts.
Turning off the power
• If you turn off the power while listening to a track,
playback will start from where it had been stopped
previously next time you turn on the power.
General
• If you change the source while listening to a disc,
playback stops.
Next time you select “CD” as the playback source,
playback will start from where it had been stopped
previously.
• If no operation is done for about 30 seconds after
pressing MENU button, the operation will be
canceled.
Tuner operations
Storing stations in memory
• During SSM search...
– All previously stored stations are erased and the
stations are stored anew.
– When SSM is over, the station stored in the lowest
preset number will be automatically tuned in.
• When storing a station manually, the previously
preset station is erased when a new station is stored
in the same preset number.
FM Radio Data System operations
• Network-Tracking Reception requires two types
of Radio Data System signals—PI (Programme
Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency)
to work correctly. Without receiving these data
correctly, Network-Tracking Reception will not
operate correctly.
• If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby
Reception, the volume level automatically changes to
the preset level (TA VOL) if the current level is lower
than the preset level.
• When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated
(with AF selected), Network-Tracking Reception is
also activated automatically.
Disc operations
Caution for DualDisc playback
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply
with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard.
Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on
this product may not be recommended.
General
• This unit has been designed to reproduce
CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs
(Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3/WMA
formats.
• When a disc is inserted upside down, “PLEASE” and
“EJECT” appear alternately on the display. Press 0 to
eject the disc.
• MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are
used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.”
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or
WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.
20
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can only play back files of the same type as
those detected first if a disc includes both audio CD
(CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs; however,
unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this
unit because of their disc characteristics, or for the
following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens
inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the
“Packet Write” method.
– There are improper recording conditions (missing
data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched,
warped, etc.).
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the
reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular
CDs.
• Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
– Discs with stickers, labels, or a protective seal stuck
to the surface.
– Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an
ink jet printer.
Using these discs under high temperature or high
humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to the
unit.
Playing an MP3/WMA disc
• This unit can play back MP3/WMA files with the
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of
the letter case—upper/lower).
• This unit can show the names of albums, artists
(performer), and Tag (Version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, or
2.4) for MP3 files and for WMA files.

elapsed time display, and do not show the actual
elapsed time. In particular, this difference becomes
noticeable after performing the search function.
• This unit cannot play back the following files:
– MP3 files encoded in MP3i and MP3 PRO format.
– MP3 files encoded in an inappropriate format.
– MP3 files encoded with Layer 1/2.
– WMA files encoded in lossless, professional, and
voice format.
– WMA files which are not based upon Windows
Media ® Audio.
– WMA files copy-protected with DRM.
– Files which have data such as AIFF, ATRAC3, etc.
• The search function works but search speed is not

Maintenance
How to clean the connectors
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe the
connectors with a cotton swab or cloth moistened with
alcohol, being careful not to damage the connectors.
Connectors
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in
the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this
case, eject the disc and leave the unit turned on for a
few hours until the moisture has evaporated.
How to handle discs
When removing a disc from its
case, press down the center holder
of the case and lift the disc out,
holding it by the edges.
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not touch its
recording surface.
When storing a disc in its case, gently insert the
disc around the center holder (with the printed surface
facing up).
• Make sure to store discs in cases after use.
Center holder
To keep discs clean
A dirty disc may not play correctly.
If a disc does become dirty, wipe it with
a soft cloth in a straight line from center
to edge.
• Do not use any solvents (for example, conventional
record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean
discs.
To play new discs
New discs may have some rough spots
around the inner and outer edges. If
such a disc is used, this unit may reject
the disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a
pencil or ball-point pen, etc.
Do not use the following discs:
Single CD (8 cm disc)Warped disc
