Notes
1. Longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape
Since longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape is very
thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be easily cut.
It is recommended that these tapes not be used with this
unit to prevent possible damage.
Apply tape only to the position where
the tab has been removed.
To store cassette tapes
Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to direct sunlight, or
near equipment that generates heat. Keep the cassette tapes away
from any magnetic field.
N
S
When there is slack in the tape
In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and wind the reel hub
to remove the slack.
2. Endless tapes
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of
the unit.

RDS is a system which transmits useful information (digital data) for FM broadcasts together with the broadcast
signal. Tuners and receivers designed for RDS reception
can extract the information from the broadcast signal for
use with various functions such as automatic display of
the station name.
(Radio Data System) (Except for some areas)
This unit is equipped with the following functions utilizing RDS data:
PTY (Program Type Identification) Search :‚
The tuner automatically searches for a station which is currently broadcasting a specified program type (genre).
PS (Program Service Name) Display : (See below.)
When an RDS broadcast is received, the station name is automatically
displayed.
The “RDS” indicator lights up when an
RDS broadcast (signal) is received.
When the information to be received is set in advance and any RDS
station in the same network starts broadcasting of such information, the
reception automatically will be switched to that station.
÷ Some functions may not be provided or be given different names
depending on countries or areas.
Note before the use of RDS
To receive RDS stations, you have to preset RDS stations using the auto preset function. The auto preset function presets the RDS
stations in priority. Flashing “NO DATA” will be displayed when no RDS station has been preset with this function.
Set the receiving band to FM and preset RDS stations with the auto preset function.

To be able to listen to the desired information at any time
By using the EON function, which manages the information of other stations, listening to desired information like
traffic information or news etc. can be reserved even when
it is not being transmitted at the present. When listening
to a station with the “EON”display lit and another station
of the same network starts to broadcast an information
program for which a reservation has been made, then that
station will be selected automatically. When the desired
information program ends, return is made to the original
program.
Waiting for information while a RDS station without
EON function is tuned
If the EON indicator does not light with the RDS station in steps
3 and 4, the tuner will wait for only the desired information
broadcast from the tuned RDS station provided that the desired
information has been selected in the previous step.
TP (Traffic Program) indicator
The lighting of the TP indicator indicates that the currently tuned
station or a station in the same network as it broadcasts traffic
announcement programs. If the TP indicator already lights with
the current station, you can listen to the traffic announcement
program through the station without making reservation with
the EON function.
