Display indications

If you need to operate the unit while driving, be sure to look around carefully or you may be involved in a traffic accident.

Caution on volume setting:

Digital devices (CD/USB) produce very little noise compared with other sources. Lower the volume before playing these digital sources to avoid damaging the speakers by sudden increase of the output level.

For safety...

• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.

• Stop the car before performing any complicated operations.

Temperature inside the car...

If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes normal before operating the unit.

9OPERATIONS

Using the standby receptions

TA Standby Reception

TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from any source other than AM and FM-LO.

ENGLISH

The volume changes to the preset TA volume level if the current level is lower than the preset level (see page 18).

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 temporarily to your favorite PTY programme from any source other than AM and FM-LO.

To activate and select your favorite PTY code for PTY Standby Reception, see page 18.

The PTY indicator either lights up or flashes.

• If the PTY indicator lights up, PTY Standby Reception is activated.

• If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby Reception is not yet activated.

To activate the reception, tune in to another station

providing these signals. The PTY indicator will stop flashing and remain lit.

Tracing the same programme—

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.

To change the Network-Tracking Reception setting, see “AF-REG” on page 18.

Programme A broadcasting on different frequency areas (01 – 05)

Automatic station selection—

Programme Search

Usually when you select a preset number, the station preset in that number is tuned in. If the signals from the FM Radio Data System preset station are not sufficient for good reception, this 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.

• See also page 18.

To deactivate the PTY Standby Reception, select “PTY OFF” for the PTY code (see page 18). The PTY indicator goes off.

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 the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds, it is automatically inserted into the loading slot again to protect it from dust.

• After ejecting a disc or disconnect a USB device, “NO DISC” or “NO USB“ appears and you cannot operate some of the buttons. Insert another disc, reconnect a USB device, or press SRC to select another playback source.

• If no operation is done for about 30 seconds after pressing MENU button or control dial, 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 OPEN, then 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.

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.
