Using the Radio Data System (RDS)

RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations provide. These FM stations send additional signals along with their regular programme signals. They send their station names, and information about the type of programme such as sport, music, etc.

When tuned to an RDS station, "RDS" and the station name will be displayed. "TP" (Traffic programme) will appear on the display when the received broadcast carries traffic information, and "TA" (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic information is on air. "PTYI" (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the Dynamic PTY station is received.

You can control the RDS by using the buttons on the remote control only.

 Information provided by RDS

Each time the RDS Display button is pressed, the display will switch as follows:

When you are tuning in to a station other than an RDS station or to an RDS station which sends weak signal, the display will change in the following order:

 Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control. Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no disc (or cassette) in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

Symptom Possible cause

 Cannot record.  Is the erase-prevention tab

removed?

 Cannot record tracks with

proper sound quality.

 Is it a normal tape? (You cannot

record on a metal or CrO tape.)

 Cannot erase completely.  Sound skipping.  Is there any slack?

 Is the tape stretched?

 Cannot hear treble.  Are the capstans, pinch rollers,

or heads dirty?

 Sound fluctuation.  Cannot remove the tape.  If a power failure occurs during

playback, the heads remain engaged with the tape. Do not open the compartment with great force.

Symptom Possible cause

 The remote control does

not operate.

 Is the AC power lead of the unit

plugged in?

 Is the battery polarity correct?  Are the batteries dead?  Is the distance or angle incor-

rect?

 Does the remote control sensor

receive strong light?

Symptom Possible cause

 The radio makes unusual

noises continuously.

 Is the unit placed near the TV or

computer?

 Is the FM aerial or AM loop aerial

placed properly? Move the aerial away from the AC power lead if it's located nearby.

Troubleshooting chart (continued)

 If trouble occurs

When this product is subjected to strong external interference (mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunction.

If such a problem occurs, do the following:

1 Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again. 2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and

plug in the unit, and then turn the power on.

Note:

If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by resetting it.

 Clearing all the memory (reset)

1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by

mode.

2 Whilst pressing down the button and the button, press the

TUNER (BAND) button until "CLEAR ALL" appears.

Caution:

This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock, timer settings, tuner preset, and CD programme.

 Before transporting the unit

Remove all CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit with discs left inside can damage the unit.

 Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collection and player.  Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label

side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.

 Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive

moisture.

 Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on

the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.

Maintenance

 Cleaning the tape-handling parts

 Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and

tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

 When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit which

contains high voltages.

 After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become mag-

netised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser's instructions carefully before use.

 Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:

 Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). It

may damage the cabinet finish.

 Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunc-

tions.
