Using the radio data system (RDS)

Overview of the RDS function

The radio data system (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows FM stations to send additional digital information along with the regular radio programme signal. This unit offers you the following convenient RDS features:

• Displaying the station name

• Re-tuning the same programme automatically (Alternative Frequencies (AF))

• Listening to traffic, news, or information programmes

• Recording traffic announcements (Traffic Information Replay (TIR))

• Locating an RDS station by programme type (Programme Type selection (PTY) function)

Notes

• Depending on the country or region, not all of the RDS functions are available.

• RDS may not work properly if the signal strength is weak or if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting RDS data.

Note

If the radio can only tune in a few stations or receives only weak frequencies, the BTM function may not assign frequencies to all the preset station numbers.

Selecting stations with the strongest signals (BTM)

BTM (Best Tuning Memory) is a function that selects the radio stations with the strongest signals and automatically sets them to preset station numbers. If you activate the BTM function while listening to an FM broadcast with the AF function turned on (see page 35) and the TA function turned off (see page 43), the unit presets only the FM RDS stations. If the TA function is on, the stations that broadcast traffic announcements only are preset. When both the AF and TA functions are set to off, or while you’re listening to the MW or LW broadcast, the unit presets the stations with the strongest signals in your area. If you activate the BTM function while listening to a preset station, the unit replaces only those stations on preset numbers higher than the current one. If you activate the function while listening to a station which is not preset, all the contents of the preset stations will be replaced.

Recording traffic announcements

(Traffic information replay (TIR))

You can listen to the latest traffic announcements by recording them. The unit automatically records and stores up to eight traffic announcements. The TIR function turns the unit on automatically and records traffic announcements for up to one hour before and after a preset time.

Notes

• The unit also stands by for traffic announcements for two hours after you turn off the engine, as long as the TIR function is on.

• If you have a power aerial, it

automatically extends every time the unit searches for a traffic programme station. If you have a manual aerial, make sure that the aerial is fully extended.

Using the digital audio broadcasting system (DAB)

Overview of DAB

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new multimedia broadcasting system that transmits audio programmes with a quality comparable to that of CDs. This is made possible by the use of a microcomputer in the DAB tuner which uses the radio signals sent from multiple aerials and multi-path signals (reflected radio waves) to boost the strength of the main signal. This makes DAB almost immune to radio interference even in a moving object such as a car. Each DAB station bundles radio programmes (services) into an ensemble which it then broadcasts. Each service contains one or more components. All ensembles, services, and components are identified by name, so you can access any of them without having to know their frequencies. Furthermore, additional information (called programme associated data) can be broadcast along with the services in the form of texts.

Notes

• The DAB system is actually in a testing phase. This means some services have not been sufficiently defined or are presently being tested. At present, such services are not supported by the optional DAB tuner unit XT-100DAB.

• DAB programmes are broadcast in Band-III (174 to 240 MHz) and L-Band (1,452 to 1,492 MHz), with each band divided into channels (41 in Band-III and 23 in L-Band). One ensemble is broadcast per channel by each DAB station.

Presetting DAB services automatically

(BTM)

The BTM (Best Tuning Memory) function picks out DAB ensembles and automatically assigns the services within the ensembles to preset service numbers. The unit can preset up to 40 services. If services have been previously set, the BTM function operates under the following conditions:

• If you activate the BTM function while listening to a preset service, the unit will store detected services (by overwriting) only to preset numbers higher than that of the current present service.

• If you activate the function while listening to a service that is not preset, the unit will replace the contents of all preset numbers.

• In both cases above, if the unit detects a service that

LINK

is identical to one already preset, the previously stored service remains unchanged and the newly

detected service is not preset.

Note

If the unit can only tune in a few services, the BTM function may not assign services to all the preset service numbers.

Tip

Each time you press DSPL/PTY for two seconds, the function menu switches as follows:

Notes on handling CDs

A dirty or defective disc may cause sound breaks while playing. To enjoy optimum sound, handle the disc as follows. Handle the disc by its edge. To keep the disc clean, do not touch the surface.

78 Additional information

Do not stick paper or tape on the labelled surface.

Do not expose the discs to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot airducts, or leave them in a car parked in direct sunlight where there can be a considerable rise in the temperature inside the car.

About the LCD display on the display section

When the temperature is extremely high or low, the display may become dim and hard to see. This is due to the characteristics of the LCD and is not a malfunction. The display will return to normal when the temperature becomes normal.

Wireless remote

Before playing, clean the discs with an optional cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc from the centre out. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or antistatic spray intended for analog discs.

Note on moisture condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the CD player. Should this occur, the unit will not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and wait for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

When you play 8 cm CDs

Use the optional Sony compact disc single adapter (CSA-8) to protect the CD player from being damaged.

Installing batteries in the wireless remote

Insert two size-AA (R6) batteries with the correct polarity.

O PEN

Battery life

When the batteries become weak, you will not be able to operate the unit with the wireless remote. Battery life is about six months (or shorter, depending on the way the remote is used). If the remote becomes inoperative, replace the batteries, then verify that it can operate the system.

Additional information

Notes on battery use

To avoid damage from battery leakage and corrosion: — Make sure the polarity of the

batteries match the + and – markings in the battery compartment.

— Do not use an old battery with a new

one, or different types of batteries together.

— Remove the batteries when the

system will not be used for a long

period of time. — Do not charge the batteries. If any battery leakage occurs, replace both batteries after cleaning the battery compartment.

Notes on the wireless remote

•To prevent deformation due to heat, do

not leave the remote in a place subject to direct sunlight.

•Direct sunlight may affect the system’s

ability to receive infrared signals from the remote. If this happens, move the remote closer to the remote control sensor of the system.

•When parking your car, put the remote

somewhere, such as the glove compartment, that is away from direct sunlight to prevent deformation due to heat.

Fuse replacement

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one that matches the amperage described on the fuse. If the fuse blows, check the power connection and replace the fuse. If the fuse blows again after replacement, there may be an internal malfunction. In such a case, consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Fuse (10 A)

Warning

Never use a fuse with an amperage rating exceeding the one supplied with the unit as this could damage the unit.

Cleaning the connectors

The unit may not function properly if the connectors between the unit and the front panel are not clean. To prevent this, open the front panel by pressing RELEASE, then detach it and clean the connectors with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Do not apply too much force. Otherwise, the connectors may be damaged.
