Notes:

• A previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.

• Preset stations are erased when the power supply to the memory circuit is interrupted (for example, during battery replacement). If this occurs, preset the stations again.

Tuning in to a preset station

You can easily tune in to a preset station. Remember that you must store stations first. If you have not stored them yet, see “Storing stations in memory” on pages 8 and 9.

Select the band (FM1 – 3, AM).

Each time you press the button, the band changes as follows:

FM1 FM2

Note:

You can also use the 5 (up) or ∞ (down) button on the unit to select the next or previous preset stations. Each time you press the 5 (up) or ∞ (down) button, the next or previous preset station is tuned in.

RDS OPERATIONS

What you can do with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular programme signals. For example, the stations

ENGLISH

send their station names, as well as information about what type of programme they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. Another advantage of RDS function is called “Enhanced Other Networks.” By using the Enhanced Other Networks data sent from a station, you can tune in to 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

• Programme search

• And some other functions

Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-Tracking Reception)

When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically tunes in to 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 the illustration on page 16.) 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

You can select the different modes of networktracking reception to continue listening to the same programme in its finest reception. When shipped from the factory, “AF” is selected.

• AF: Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization set to “off.” With this setting, the unit switches to another station within the same network when the receiving signals from the current station become weak. (In this mode, the programme may differ from the one currently received.) The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not.

• AF REG: Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization set to “on.” With this setting, the unit switches to another station, within the same network, broadcasting the same programme when the receiving signals from the current station become weak. Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up.

• OFF: Network-Tracking Reception is deactivated. Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up.

AF indicator REG indicator

Press and hold SEL (select) for more than 2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display. (PSM: see page 31.)

Select “AF-REG” (alternative frequency/regionalization reception) if not shown on the display.

Select the desired mode—“AF,” “AF REG,” or “OFF.”

Finish the setting.

Using TA Standby Reception

TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM station or CD).

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

Press T (TP/PTY) to activate TA Standby Reception.

7 When the current source is FM, the TP

indicator either lights up or flashes.

If the TP indicator lights up, T A Standby

•

Reception is activated. If a station starts broadcasting a traffic announcement, “TRAFFIC” appears on the display, and this unit automatically tunes in to the station. The volume changes to the preset TA volume level (see page 15) and the traffic announcement can be heard.

•

If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby Reception is not yet activated since the station being received does not provide the signals used for TA Standby Reception. To activate TA Standby Reception, you need to tune in to another station providing these signals. Press ¢ or 4 to search for such a station. When a station providing these signals is tuned in, the TP indicator stops flashing and remains lit. Now TA Standby Reception is activated.

7 When the current source is other than FM,

the TP indicator lights up. If a station starts broadcasting a traffic announcement, “TRAFFIC” appears on the display, and this unit automatically changes the source and tunes in to the station.

ENGLISH

To deactivate the TA Standby Reception,

press T (TP/PTY) again. The TP indicator goes off.

Using PTY Standby Reception

PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your fav orite programme (PTY: Programme Type) from the current source

ENGLISH

(another FM station or CD).

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

You can select your favorite programme type for PTY Standby Reception. When shipped from the factory, PTY Standby Reception is turned off. (“OFF” is selected for PTY Standby Reception.)

Press and hold SEL (select) for more than 2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display. (PSM: see page 31.)

Select “PTY STBY” (standby) if not shown on the display.

Finish the setting.

7 When the current source is FM, the PTY

indicator either lights up or flashes.

•

If the PTY indicator lights up, PTY Standby Reception is activated. If a station starts broadcasting the selected PTY programme, this unit automatically tunes in to the station. If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby

•

Reception is not yet activated since the station being received does not provide the signals used for PTY Standby Reception. To activate PTY Standby Reception, you need to tune in to another station providing these signals. Press ¢ search for such a station. When a station providing these signals is tuned in, the PTY indicator stops flashing and remains lit. Now PTY Standby Reception is activated.

7 When the current source is other than FM,

the PTY indicator lights up. If a station starts broadcasting the selected PTY programme, this unit automatically changes the source and tunes in to the station.
