Volume Bass Treble Balance Fader

By rotating the VOL knob (11) clockwise or counter-clockwise, it is possible to adjust the desired sound quality. Press SEL button (10) for several seconds, it is activated as cyclical mode of following functions for user's selection.

TA SEEK or ALARM

MASK DPI or ALL RETUNE L or S

BEEP 2'nd or OFF

a) TA SEEK OR TA ALARM

- TA SEEK mode: When newly tuned station does not receive TP information for several seconds, the radio retunes to next station which has not the same station (PI) as the last station, but has the TP information. When TP information gets lost at the current station for retune time which

shortly

PI SOUND or MUTE

is set by RETUNE SHORT (30 sec.) or RETUNE LONG (90 sec.), the radio start to retune to next same PI station. When same PI station does not catch in 1 cyclic search, the radio retunes to next station with TP information.

- TA ALARM mode: When this mode is selected, any automatic retune mode is not activated. Only double beep sound (ALARM) is output. When newly tuned station does not have TP information for several seconds, beeps come out. When TP information gets lost at the current station for retune time, the beep sound is out-putted. When newly tuned station has no RDS signal, "PI SEEK" is suppressed somewhat.

b) PI SOUND or PI MUTE While AF switching is implemented in C201 station, AF can switch to 100 MHz, which is non genuine AF (where, different PI with same AF) in short "DIP". If a car cruises that critical area back and forth, an oscillation phenomenon can be occurred, because the different PI code can be received from 100 MHz with "XXX"PI. The car radio has special procedure to reduce even this kind of unavoidable situation however there is a limit to be escaped from this serious case perfectly. In that serious case, 2 mode is selectable as follows:

PI: C201

100

PI: XXX

100

- PI SOUND mode: When above different PI sound (DIP) is heard once in a while, the DIP's sound will be heard for a short time.

Page 10

OPERATION

c) RETUNE L or RETUNE S mode The initial time of automatic TA search or PI search modes is selected. When PI information is not caught for retune time, the radio starts to retune to next same PI station. When same PI station does not catch 1 cyclic search, the radio goes to last station and waits for several minutes until PI code is received.

- RETUNE L mode: Selected as 90 seconds.

- RETUNE S mode: Selected as 30 seconds.

d) MASK DPI or MASK ALL mode The AF frequency (which has different PI or NO RDS signal with high field strength) is masked during checking PI when the unit searches AF. The unit doesn't search this AF (DIP) for few minutes. In the case of the AF of NO RDS signal with high field strength, if the real AF is wrongly masked as DIP by some interference, the unit hesitates to search real Afs. For this reason, the unit has the user option (MASK DPI) which doesn't mask the AF of NO RDS signal with high field strength. In MASK DPI mode, the wrong sound or long mute (according to PI SOUND or PI MUTE) can be heard from the AF station which has NO RDS signal and of which the field strength is higher than that of the currently tuning AF (station). But, these phenomenons are rare and the user will hardly hear the wrong sound in whole Europe.

- MASK DPI mode: Masked only the AF which has different PI.

- MASK ALL mode: Masked the AF which has different PI and NO RDS signal with high field strength.

e) BEEP 2'ND, BEEP ALL, BEEP OFF mode The situation of beep sound is selected. The 3 mode is selected a also rotating VOL knob (11)

clockwise or counter-clockwise.

- BEEP 2'nd mode: The beep is only generated when all allowed double key is pressed long (1 sec). e.g. When preset button (14) is pressed. When BND/LOU button (13) is pressed. When AMS button (18) is pressed.

- BEEP ALL mode: The beep is generated when every key is pressed.

- BEEP OFF mode: The beep is disabled.

TA interruption function The current traffic announcement is cancelled by pressing this key. But the TA mode will not be off. When pressed long, it is selected EON TA LOCAL/EON TA DISTANCE mode.

Page 13

OPERATION

The purpose of this key is to reduce unwanted EON TA switching, which EON TA information was received from current station and the radio switched to that EON linked station, but no information could not be received because the EON linked station is located too far from that area. So the radio is switched back to current station again. In above operation, a customer listens to a wrong program or mute sound for a while. EON TA LOCAL mode When the filed strength level of EON linked is less than threshold level, the radio does not switch that station, and a customer can hardly listen to any disturbances. When EON TA LOCAL mode is selected, “EON TA LO” on numeric display is indicated for a few seconds. EON TA DISTANCE mode EON TA switch is tried to implemented by the information of current station. When EON TA DISTANCE mode is selected, “EON TA DX” on numeric display is indicated for a few seconds. The RDS data used are the PI, PS, AF, TP, TA, EON and PTY data. PI: Program Identification code Code for identifying programs PS: Program Service Name Broadcast station name data expressed in alphanumerically characters AF: Alternative Frequencies Frequency list of broadcasting stations transmitting the same program TP: Traffic Program Identification Identification data for traffic information-broadcasting station TA: Traffic Announcement Identification Identification data showing traffic
