About WMA

The Windows Media" logo printed on the box indicates that this unit can play back WMA data. WMA is short for Windows Media Audio and refers to an audio compression technology that is developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA data can be encoded by using Windows Media Player version 7 or later. Microsoft, Windows Media, and the Windows logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.

Notes

! With some applications used to encode WMA

! Depending on the version of Windows Media

Player used to encode WMA files, album names and other text information may not be correctly displayed.

To protect the LCD screen

! Do not allow direct sunlight to fall on the

! When using a portable phone, keep the an-

tenna of the portable phone away from the display to prevent disruption of the video by the appearance of spots, colored stripes, etc.

For viewing LCD comfortably

Due to its construction, the view angle of the LCD screen is limited. The viewing angle (vertical and horizontal) can be increased, however, by using BRIGHT to adjust the black density of the video. When using for the first time, adjust the black density in accordance with the viewing angle (vertical and horizontal) to adjust for clear viewing. DIMMER can also be used to adjust the brightness of the LCD screen itself to suit your personal preference.

The picture is enlarged slightly at the center and the amount of enlargement increases horizontally to the ends, enabling you to enjoy a 4:3 picture without sensing any disparity even on a wide screen.

CINEMA (cinema)

The picture is enlarged by the same proportion as FULL or ZOOM in the horizontal direction and by an intermediate proportion between FULL and ZOOM in the vertical direction; ideal for a cinema-sized picture (wide screen picture) where captions lie outside.

ZOOM (zoom)

A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the same proportion both vertically and horizontally; ideal for a cinema-sized picture (wide screen picture).

NORMAL (normal)

A 4:3 picture is displayed as it is, giving you no sense of disparity since its proportions are the same as that of the normal picture.

Section

Selecting alternative frequencies

If you are listening to a broadcast and the reception becomes weak or there are other problems, the unit will automatically search for a different station in the same network which is broadcasting a stronger signal.

! AF is on as a default.

% Touch AF on the function menu to turn

AF on.

# To turn AF off, touch AF again.

Notes

! Only RDS stations are tuned in during seek

tuning or BSM when AF is on.

! When you recall a preset station, the tuner

may update the preset station with a new frequency from the stations AF list. (This is only available when using presets on the FM1 or FM2 bands.) No preset number appears on the display if the RDS data for the station received differs from that for the originally stored station.

! Sound may be temporarily interrupted by an-

other program during an AF frequency search.

! AF can be turned on or off independently for

each FM band.

Using PI Seek

If the unit fails to find a suitable alternative frequency, or if you are listening to a broadcast and the reception becomes weak, the unit will automatically search for a different station with the same programming. During the search, PI SEEK is displayed and the output is muted. The muting is discontinued after completion of the PI Seek, whether or not a different station is found.

Using Auto PI Seek for preset stations

When preset stations cannot be recalled, as when travelling long distances, the unit can be set to perform PI Seek during preset recall. ! The default setting for Auto PI Seek is off.

See Switching Auto PI Seek on page 90.

RDS

Limiting stations to regional programming

When AF is used to automatically retune frequencies, the regional function limits the selection to stations broadcasting regional programs.

% Touch REGION on the function menu to turn regional function on.

# To turn the regional function off, touch

REGION again.

Notes

! Regional programming and regional networks

are organized differently depending on the country (i.e., they may change according to the hour, state or broadcast area).

! The preset number may disappear on the dis-

play if the tuner tunes in a regional station which differs from the originally set station.

! The regional function can be turned on or off

independently for each FM band.

When you are tuned into a TP or enhanced other networks TP station the TRFC indicator will light.

2 Press TA/NEWS button to turn traffic announcement standby on.

dTRFC appears in the display. The tuner will stand by for traffic announcements.

# If you turned TA function on while tuned in to neither a TP nor an enhanced other networksTP station, only T in the TRFC indicator lights. # To turn traffic announcements standby off, press TA/NEWS again.

3 Use VOLUME to adjust the TA volume when a traffic announcement begins.

The newly set volume is stored in memory and recalled for subsequent traffic announcements.

4 Press TA/NEWS while a traffic announcement is being received to cancel the announcement.

The tuner returns to the original source but remains in the standby mode until TA/NEWS is pressed again.

# You can also cancel the announcement by pressing SOURCE, BAND/ESC, a, b, c or d while a traffic announcement is being received.

Notes

! The system switches back to the original

source following traffic announcement reception.

! Only TP and enhanced other networks TP sta-

tions are tuned in during seek tuning or BSM when TA is on.
