About This Product

The tuner frequencies on this product are allocated for use in Western Europe, Asia, the
Middle East, Africa and Oceania. Use in other areas may result in improper reception. The
RDS function operates only in areas with FM stations broadcasting RDS signals.

About This Manual

This product features a number of sophisticated functions ensuring superior reception and
operation. All are designed for the easiest possible use, but many are not self-explanatory.
This operation manual is intended to help you benefit fully from their potential and to
maximize your listening enjoyment.
We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the functions and their operation by
reading through the manual before you begin using this product. It is especially important
that you read and observe the “Precaution” on the next page and in other sections.
This manual explains head unit operation. You can perform the same operations with the
steering remote controller. The steering remote controller offers the convenience of ATT, a
function not provided on the head unit.

About the Demo Mode

This product features two demonstration modes. One is the Reverse Demo mode, the other
is the Feature Demo mode.

Reverse Demo

If you do not perform an operation within about 30 seconds, screen indications start to
reverse, and then continue reversing every 10 seconds. Pressing button 5 when power to
this product is switched OFF while the ignition switch is set to ACC or ON cancels the
Reverse Demo mode. Pressing button 5 again to start the Reverse Mode.

Feature Demo

The Feature Demo automatically starts when power to this product is switched OFF while
the ignition switch is set to ACC or ON. Pressing button 6 during Feature Demo operation
cancels the Feature Demo mode. Pressing button 6 again to start the Feature Mode.
Remember that if the Feature Demo continues operating when the car engine is switched
OFF, it may drain battery power.

Note:

• You cannot cancel a Demo mode when the front panel is open.

• The red lead (ACC) of this product should be connected to a terminal coupled with ignition switch

ON/OFF operations. If this is not done, the vehicle battery may be drained.

• This product complies with the EMC Directives (89/336/EEC, 92/31/EEC) and CE
Marking Directive (93/68/EEC).

A Title (English)

What is RDS?

RDS (Radio Data System) is a system for transmitting data along with FM programs. This
data, which is inaudible, provides a variety of features such as: program service name, pro­gram type display, traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning and program type tun­ing, intended to aid radio listeners in tuning to a desired station.

Note:

• RDS service may not be provided by all stations.

• RDS functions, like AF (Alternative frequencies search) and TA (Traffic Announcement standby),
are only active when your radio is tuned to RDS stations.

Program Service Name Display

With this function, the names of networks/stations providing RDS services replace the fre­quency on the display a few seconds after they are tuned in.

• When you want to know PTY Information or the frequency of the current
station, change the display.

Each press of the DISPLAY button selects the display in the following order:
Program Service Name (A) = PTY Information and Frequency =
Program Service Name (B)

Note:

• After switching displays, if you do not perform an operation within 8 seconds, the Program Service

Name (A) is automatically displayed. (When the Program Service Name (B) is selected, the display
remains.)

7 PTY Information

PTY (Program Type ID code) information for the currently tuned station appears on the
display for 8 seconds. The information is correlated with the list in the section “PTY List”
on page 26.

Note:

• If a PTY code of zero is received from a station, “None” will be displayed. This indicates that the

station has not defined its program contents.

• If the signal is too weak for this product to pick up the PTY code, “NO PTY” will be displayed.

7 Frequency

The frequency of the current station appears on the display.

Each press changes the Display ...

Using RDS Functions

A Title (English)

20

ENGLISH ESPAÑOL DEUTSCH FRANÇAIS ITALIANO NEDERLANDS

AF Function (AF)

The AF (Alternative Frequencies search) function is used to search for other frequencies in
the same network as the currently tuned station. It automatically retunes the receiver to
another frequency in the network which is broadcasting a stronger signal when there are
problems with reception of the currently tuned station or better reception is possible on
a different frequency.

Note:

• AF tunes the receiver only to RDS stations when you use Seek tuning or BSM Auto Memory with
the “AF ” indicator 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 and 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 another program during an AF frequency search.

• When the tuner is tuned to a non-RDS station, the “AF ” indicator flashes.

• AF can be switched ON or OFF independently for each FM band.

Activating/Deactivating the AF Function

AF is set to ON by default.

1. Press the FUNCTION button and select the AF mode (AF) in the Function
Menu.

2. Activate or deactivate AF while in an FM band.

21

A Title (English)

PI Seek Function

The tuner searches for another frequency broadcasting the same programming. “PI SEEK”
appears on the display and the radio volume is muted during a PI Seek. The muting is discon­tinued after completion of the PI Seek, whether or not the PI seek has succeeded. If the PI
Seek is unsuccessful, the tuner returns to the previous frequency.

PI Seek

If the tuner fails to locate a suitable alternative frequency or if the broadcasting signal is
too weak for proper reception, the PI Seek will automatically start.

Auto PI Seek (for preset station)

When preset stations cannot be recalled, as when traveling long distances, this product can
be set to perform PI Seek also during preset recall.
The default setting for Auto PI Seek is OFF.

Note:

• Refer to “Initial Setting” for details on how to switch Auto PI Seek ON/OFF.

Regional Function (REG)

When AF is used to retune the tuner automatically, REG (regional) limits the selection to
stations broadcasting regional programs.

Note:

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

• REG can be switched ON or OFF independently for each FM band.

Activating/Deactivating the REG Function

The REG function is set to ON by default.

1. Press the FUNCTION button and select the REG mode (REG) in the
Function Menu.

2. Activate or deactivate REG while in an FM band.

Using RDS Functions

TA Function (TA)

The TA (Traffic Announcement standby) function lets you receive traffic announcements
automatically, no matter what source you are listening to. The TA function can be activat­ed for either a TP station (a station that broadcasts traffic information) or an EON TP sta­tion (a station carrying information which cross-references TP stations).

Activating/Deactivating the TA Function

1. Tune in a TP or EON TP station.

The TP indicator (“ ”) lights when the tuner is tuned to a TP station or an EON TP
station.

2. Activate the TA function.

The TA indicator (“ ”) lights, indicating that the tuner is waiting for traffic announce­ments.

Repeat the preceding operation when no traffic announcement is being received to deacti­vate the TA function.

Note:
