When EON data is received, the EON indicator lights
and the TA and AF functions are expanded as follows.
TA : Traffic information from the current and other

network stations can be received.

AF : The frequency list of preset RDS stations is

updated by EON data.
EON enables the radio to make fuller use of RDS
information. It constantly updates the AF list of preset
stations, including that currently tuned in to. For
example, if you preset a station far from home, you
will later be able to receive the same station at an
alternative frequency, or any other station serving the
same program. EON also keeps track of locally avail­able TP stations for quick reception.

Emergency Announcement
Reception

When an emergency announcement is broadcast, the
unit is automatically switched to receiving that
broadcast. If this happens in a mode other than
radio mode (tape mode, CD Changer mode) or in
Muting in TA mode, "ALARM" blinks on the display.

Tape Insert and Playback

Insert a cassette tape. Playback will start automatically.

Stop and Tape Eject

Press [u] to stop tape play and eject the cassette tape.
The unit will be automatically switched back to radio mode.

Notes on Cassette Tape

Tape Slack:

Use a pencil or similar object to take up the
slack as shown. If a loose tape is used, this
may result in the tape becoming tangled in
the rotating parts of the unit.

Notes:

¡To maintain your cassette player in top condition, avoid using tapes that are longer than 90 minutes (C-90).
¡If you insert into the unit a cassette with a loose tape caused by forcing it into cassette with a finger or the like, the cas-

sette may not be properly reproduced. In such a case, eject the cassette, make the tape tight, then insert it back into the
deck.

¡Always remove the cassette when you stop using the cassette player. This will prolong the life of your tape.

Note: You can not select CD Changer mode or Radio mode while tape playing.
If you want to select CD Changer mode or Radio mode, eject the tape.

¡Use ungrounded speaker only.
¡The maximum speaker output should be 40 W or more. (If used with

the optional power amplifier, the speaker output should be higher than
the maximum amplifier output.)

¡The speaker impedance should be 4 - 8 Ω.
¡This unit uses the BTCL circuit, so each speaker should be connected

separately using parallel vinyl insulated cords.

¡The speaker cords and the power amplifier unit should be kept away

(about 30 cm apart) from the antenna and antenna extension cord.

¡Never connect the speaker cord to

the body of the car.

¡Do not use a 3-wire type speaker

system having a common earth
lead.

¡Do not connect more than one
