BEFORE USE

* For safety....

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

* 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.

• Stop the car before performing any complicated operations.

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 programme 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 tape.

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

• TP (Traffic Programme) 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 tune 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 the illustration on the next page.) 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.

ENGLISH

ENGLISH

signals from the current station become weak.

Note:

In this mode, the programme may differ from the one currently received.

Mode 2

Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up. 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

Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up. 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

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 Traffic Announcement (T A) from the current source (another FM station, tape, CD and other connected components).

Note:

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

TA Standby Reception

ENGLISH

RDS

• When you press TP/RDS while listening to an FM station, the TP indicator is lit during reception of a TP (T r affic Programme) station and the T A standb y mode is engaged.

¢ or 4 to engage the TA standby mode. “SEARCH” appears on the display, and TP station sear ch starts. When a TP station is tuned in, the TP indicator is lit.

• If you are listening to a tape or CD , and wish to listen to a TP station, press

TP/RDS to enter the TA standby mode. (The TP indicator lights up.)

If a traffic programme starts broadcasting while the TA standby mode is active, “TRAFFIC” appears and the playback source changes to the FM band. The volume increases to the preset TA volume level and the traffic programme can be heard (see page 15).

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

PTY Standby Reception

PTY

• When you press PTY while listening to an FM station, the PTY indicator is

SOUND ADJUSTMENTS

BBE

Turning on/off the BBE function

The BBE* function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording, broadcasts, etc. When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBE function adjusts the phase relationship between the low , mid and high frequencies b y adding a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies reach the listener’s ears at the proper time. In addition, the BBE function boosts low and high frequencies, which loudspeakers tend to be less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation. When combined with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer, more finely detailed “live” presence.

Each time you press BBE, the BBE function turns on and off alternately.
