Using the Tuner
Receiving FM Stations with RDS
You can use the RDS (Radio Data System) by using the buttons on the Remote Control.
RDS allows FM stations to send additional signals with
their regular program signals. For example, the stations
send their station names, and information about what type
of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. This
Unit can receive the following types of RDS signals:
PS (Program Service):
shows commonly known station names.
PTY (Program Type):
shows types of broadcast programs.
RT (Radio Text):
shows text messages the station sends.
What information can RDS signals provide?
The display shows RDS signal information that the station
sends.
• The RDS indicator lights up when turned to a station that
provides RDS information.
• Not all FM stations provide RDS signals, nor do all RDS
stations provide the same services. If in doubt, check with
local radio stations for details on RDS in your area.
• RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not
transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is
weak.
• RDS is not available for AM (MW) broadcasts.
To search for a program by PTY codes
One of the advantages of the RDS service is that you can locate a particular kind of program by specifying the PTY
codes.
To search for a program using PTY codes:

• The Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this Unit.
• While listening to a program tuned in by this function, the
station does not change even if another network station
starts broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced
Other Network data.
• While listening to a program tuned in by this function, you
can only use the TA/News/Info button and the RDS DISPLAY button as the tuner operation buttons. If you press
any other button, “LOCKED!” appears on the display.
• If the station alternate intermittently between the station

If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station
is received finally (“NOT FOUND” appears this time), and
the indication of the Enhanced Other Network data type
blinking on the display disappears.
CAUTION:
• When the sound alternated intermittently
between the station tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network function and the

Here are the basic things you need to know to play a CD and
locate the different tracks on it.
This Unit has been designed only to playback the following CDs.
• Digital audio CD
• Recordable digital audio CD (CD-R)
• Rewritable digital audio CD (CD-RW)
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
You can play back finalized CD-R or CD-RW recorded
music CD format. (If CD-RW have been recorded in a
different format, erase all the data on CD-RW completely before recording on the disc.)
❑ You can play back CD-R or CD-RW like CD.
❑ Some CD-R or CD-RW may not be played back on
this Unit because of their disc characteristics, damage
or stain on them, or if the player lens is dirty.
❑ The reflection factor of CD-RW is lower than that of
other CD, possibly causing CD-RW to take longer to
read.
❑ CD-R and CD-RW of MP3 format are not played
back.
The Quickest Way To Start a CD Is With the One
Touch Operation
❑ Press the CD 6 button on the Remote Control.
• The power is automatically turned on and, if a CD is

Care And Maintenance
Handle your CDs carefully, and they will last a long time.
Compact Discs
• Only CDs bearing these marks
can be used with this System.
However, continued use of irregular shape CDs (heart-shape,
octagonal, etc.) can damage the
System.
• Remove the CD from its case by
holding it at the edges while pressing the case’s center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of
the CD, or bend the CD.
• Put the CD back in its case after
use to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the CD when placing it
back in the case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,
temperature extremes, and moisture.
- DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
- DO NOT wipe it strong.
- DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
- DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides to it.
- DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact with it for a long time.
Cleaning the Lens
If the lens in the CD pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could degrade sound.
Open the CD door and clean the lens as shown.
• Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow
dust off the lens.
Blower
Lens
• If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe
clean with a cotton swab.
• A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty,
wipe it with a soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.
CAUTION:
• Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean a CD.
General Notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your CDs and the mechanism clean.
• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
• Keep the System’s CD door closed when not in use.
Cleaning the Unit
• Stains on the Unit
Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the Unit is heavily
stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral
detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
• Since the Unit may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful
about the followings.
Moisture Condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens
inside the System in the following
cases:
• After turning on heating in the
room.
• In a damp room.
• If the System is brought directly
from a cold to a warm place.
Should this occur, the System may
malfunction. In this case, leave the
System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug
the AC power cord, and then plug it
in again.
