How Enhanced Other Networks works
If no station is broadcasting the type of program
you have selected:
• The unit continues to receive the current
station.
• When the selected type of program starts
on a different station, the unit automatically
switches to the station and the indicator on the
display starts blinking.
• When the program is fi nished, the unit returns
to the previous station and the indicator on the
display turns on (standby mode).
If there is a station broadcasting the type of
program you have selected:
• The unit switches to the station and the
indicator on the display starts blinking.
• When the program is fi nished, the unit returns
to the previous station and the indicator on the
display turns on (standby mode).
If the current station is broadcasting the type of
program you have selected:
• The unit continues to receive the current
station. The indicator on the display starts
blinking.
• When the program is fi nished, the indicator on
the display turns on (standby mode).
To cancel Enhanced Other Networks
Press TA/News/Info to select “OFF (Frequency)”.
memo
• The Enhanced Other Networks standby
mode remains activated if you change the
source to CD, USB MEMORY or USB/AUX. If
you select AM for the source, the Enhanced
Other Networks standby mode is disabled
temporarily.
CAUTION:
• When the sound alternates intermittently between
the station tuned in by the Enhanced Other
Networks function and the currently selected
station, cancel the Enhanced Other Networks
mode. This does not constitute malfunction of the
unit.

Additional Information
Learning More about This System
Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 9 to 17)
Listening to the Radio:
• If you store a new station into an occupied
preset number, the previously stored station in
that number will be erased.
• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a
power failure occurs, the preset stations will
be erased in a few days. If this happens, preset
the stations again.
Playing Back a Disc/USB Memory/DAP:
• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
• For MP3/WMA playback...
– MP3/WMA discs are required a longer
readout time than regular CDs. (It depends
on the complexity of the group/fi le
confi guration.)
– Some MP3/WMA fi les cannot be played back
and will be skipped.
This result from their recording processes
and conditions.
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO
9660 Level 1 for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3/WMA fi les
with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma>
(regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).
– Some characters or symbols will not be
shown correctly on the display.
The maximum character number shown
on the display is 32 (without the extension
code) for fi les, and 30 for ID3 tag.
– It is recommended that you make each MP3
fi le at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at a bit
rate of 128 kbps. Similarly each WMA fi le at
a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at a bit rate
of 96 kbps.
– This System can recognize the total of
999 tracks and of 500 groups. Those
exceeding the maximum number cannot be
recognized.
– Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be
different from the one you have intended
while recording. If a folder does not include
MP3/WMA tracks, they are ignored.
Receiving FM stations with Radio Data System
• If an “Alarm !” (Emergency) signal is
received from a station while listening to
the FM station with Radio Data System, the
system automatically switches to the station
broadcasting the “Alarm !” signal, except when
you are listening to non-Radio Data System
stations (all AM and some FM stations).
