Receiving FM Stations with
RDS

You can use the RDS (Radio Data System) by using the buttons on
the Unit or the Remote Control.
RDS allows FM stations to send additional signals with their regular
programme signals. For example, the stations send their station
names, and information about what type of programmes they broad­cast, such as sports or music, etc. This unit can receive the following
types of RDS signals:

PS (Programme Service):

shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Programme Type):

shows types of broadcast programmes.

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.

To show the RDS signals on the
display ————————————————

Press the DISPLAY MODE button while listening to an FM
station.

Each time you press the button, the display changes to show infor­mation in the following order:

■ If you want to change the preset stations, carry out the Manual

Presetting for the desired preset numbers.

CAUTION: Even if the system is unplugged or if
the power failure occurs, the preset stations will
be stored for about 24 hours. However, in case
the preset stations are erased, you will need to
preset the stations again.

To Change the FM
Reception Mode

When you are tuned into an FM stereo broadcast, the “STEREO” in­dicator lights up and you can hear stereo effects.
If an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive or noisy, you can select
Monaural mode. Reception improves, but you lose any stereo ef­fect.

PS (Programme Service):

While searching, “PS” appears, then station name is displayed. “NO
PS” appears if no signal is sent.

PTY (Programme Type):

While searching, “PTY” appears, then broadcast programme type is
displayed. “NO PTY” appears if no signal is sent.

RT (Radio Text):

While searching, “RT” appears, then a text message sent by the sta­tion is displayed. “NO RT” appears if no signal is sent.

Station Frequency:

Notes:

• If searching finishes at once, “PS”, “PTY” and “RT” will not

To temporarily switch to a broadcast
programme of your choice —————

EON (Enhanced Other Networks) is another convenient RDS ser­vice that allows this unit to switch temporarily to a broadcast pro­gramme of your choice (NEWS, TA or INFO) from the currently
selected station, except if you are listening to a non-RDS station (all
AM (MW/LW) stations or some FM stations).

• If an FM station does not broadcast EON information, EON
cannot be activated.

To select a programme type————

The display shows a programme type in the following order:

DOWN UPMULTI CONTROL

Notes:

• If the EON is in standby mode and the function (CD, TAPE, MD/
AUX) switch is changed or the power is switched off, then the
EON mode will be released. When the band is set to AM (MW/
LW), the EON is not activated. When the band is set to FM again,
the EON will be set to standby mode.

• When the EON is being operated (i.e. the selected programme
type is being received from the broadcast station) and if the
DISPLAY MODE or 4, ¢ button is operated, the station
will not switch back to the current selected station even after the
programme ends. The programme type indicator remains in the
display, indicating that the EON is in standby mode.

• When the EON is in standby mode and a radio broadcast is be­ing recorded, be careful because the EON may be activated and
a different programme than the intended one may be recorded.
When the EON mode is not required, release the EON mode.

• When the alarm signal is detected by EON, the station broad­casting the alarm is received with priority. “ALARM!” is not
displayed.

Caution:
When the sound alternated intermittently be­tween the station tuned in by the EON function
and the currently selected station, cancel the
EON mode. This does not constitute malfunction
of the unit.

Recording onto a tape from any of the sound sources is simple. Just
place a tape in the Cassette Deck, have the source ready, make one
or two settings, and you’re ready to record. For each source the pro­cedure is a little bit different so we explain each separately. But first,
here are a few things to make your recordings better.

Things To Know Before You Start
Recording —————————————

■ It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted

material without the consent of the copyright owner.

When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set

■

Reverse mode to do so. Recording automatically stops after re­cording in the
rection is 3 when recording with Reverse mode on.
The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape

■

is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected
by the VOLUME control on the System. Nor is it affected by
adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording you can ad­just the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the
recording level.
Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A

■

and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure
or recording.

To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover

■

the holes with adhesive tape first. However, when a type II tape
is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part
of the hole (Type II detection slot) is used to detect the tape
type.
Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording.

■

At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape

Note:

which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when recording CDs or radio
broadcasts, wind on the leader tape first to ensure getting the begin­ning of the recording.

When the System is in use, the display shows other items as well.
For simplicity, we show here only the items described in this section.

CAUTION: If a recording you make has excessive
noise or static, the Unit may have been too close
to a TV which was on during the recording. Either
turn off the TV or increase the distance between
the TV and the System.

Standard Recording

You can record any sound source to tape as follows:

1. Insert a blank or erasable tape into the

■

Cassette Deck and wind past the tape
leader.

2. Press the REV. MODE button on the Unit if

■

you want to record on both sides of the
tape.

Press the button until the indicator is lit.

• When using Reverse mode, insert the tape so that it will be
recorded in the forward 3 direction.

3. Check the recording direction for the

■

tape.

Make sure that the Tape Direction indicator is the same as that
for the tape in the Cassette Deck. If the directions are different,
press the TAPE
then press the e button to stop the tape.

4. Prepare the source, by, for example, tuning

■

in a radio station or turning on connected
auxiliary equipment.

For CD recording, refer to “CD Direct Recording” men-

Note:

tioned below.

5. Press the REC button on the Unit.

• If you make a recording with Reverse mode on, the Unit
will record the last song at the end of the first side onto the
next side from its beginning when the song has been record­ed more than 12 seconds on the first side.
If the last song has been recorded less than 12 seconds, then
the previous song will again be recorded on the next side as
it will not be completely recorded on the first side because
of leader tape.

• After the CD player has played the entire CD, or all the pro­grammed tracks, the tape automatically stops.

Recording an AM station to tape

When recording an AM broadcast, beats may be produced which
are not heard when listening to the broadcast. If this happens, press
the AUTO PRESET button on the Remote Control to eliminate the
beats.

Handle your CDs carefully, and they will last a long time.

Care And Maintenance

Compact Discs

• Only CDs bearing this mark can be used with
this System. However, continued use of irregu­larly shaped CDs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.)
can damage the System.

• If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe clean with
a cotton swab.

• 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.

• 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 cover closed when not in use.

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.

Cassette Tapes

• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or
caught in the cassette. Take up the slack by
inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotat­ing.

• Do not touch the tape surface.

• Do not store the tape:

- In dusty places

- In direct sunlight or heat

- In moist areas

- On a TV or speaker

- Near a magnet

Cleaning the lens

If the lens in the CD pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could degrade
sound.
Open the CD cover and clean the lens as shown.

• Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow dust off
the lens.

Cassette Deck

• If the heads, capstans, or pinch-rollers of the Cassette Deck
become dirty, the following may occur:

- Loss of sound quality

- Discontinuous sound

-Fading

- Incomplete erasure

- Difficulty recording

• Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a cotton
swab moistened with alcohol.
