Notes on Cassettes

Cassette care

• Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as

any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.

• Keep cassettes away from equipment with

built-in magnets such as speakers and amplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the recorded tape could occur.

• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight,

extremely cold temperatures or moisture.

• When the tape is played back for a long

period, the cassette shell may become warm because of the built-in power amplifier. However, this is not a sign of a malfunction.

Cassettes longer than 90 minutes

The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is not recommended except for long continuous play. The tapes used for these cassettes are very thin and tend to be stretched easily. Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes may cause them to be pulled into the cassette deck mechanism.

Notes

• Make sure that the front panel is the right way up when

attaching it to the unit as it cannot be attached upside down.

• Do not press the front panel hard against the unit when

attaching it to the unit. It can easily be attached by pressing it lightly against the unit.

• When you carry the front panel with you, put it in the

supplied front panel case.

• Do not press hard or exert excessive pressure on the

display windows of the front panel.

• Before removing the front panel, be sure to turn the

power off. However, if you press the RELEASE button to detach the panel while the unit is still turned on, the power will be automatically turned off in order to protect the speakers from being damaged.

RDS Functions

Overview of the RDS Function

RDS (Radio Data System) is a system which uses FM radio waves to receive digital signals. Receiving RDS data with your car stereo unit allows it to use a variety of services. There are several ways to use these services. For instance, you can receive information such as traffic announcements and station names, or you can cause the unit to automatically retune to the strongest signal that is broadcasting the same programme. So even if you travel a long distance, it is still possible to listen to the same programme without having to retune manually again and again. Another function allows it to receive traffic announcements during tape, CD or MD playback. RDS offers various functions, but depending on the country or region, not all of these are available. Following information explains the RDS functions of this unit.

Notes

• In case of weak signals or other poor reception

conditions, the RDS functions may not work properly.

• If the FM station currently received does not transmit

RDS data, the functions described below will not work.

Displaying the Station Name

By using RDS data, the name of the station currently received can be displayed.

Select an FM station. n If it is a station transmitting RDS data, the station name will appear on the display.

BBCR1

When “*” appears in addition to the usual frequency indication, an RDS station is being received.

Changing the displayed items

Each time you press the DSPL button, the display on the displayed items change as follows:

z Frequency z Time z Station Name

When “NO Name” is displayed instead of the station name, the currently received station does not transmit RDS data. After some seconds, “NO Name” will disappear, and the frequency will be displayed.

Actual total number: Sony XR-F21RDS (E,F,G) 0-000-000-11 (1)

Listening to the same Programme without Manual Retuning even if the Location has changed

Using “AF” (List of Alternative Frequencies), to automatically tune to that frequency among the frequencies of the currently received station, which carries the strongest signal in the respective region. As result, you can continuously listen to the same programme during a long-distance drive without repeated manual retuning.

Frequencies change automatically.

2 Press the

Notes

• When the currently received frequency is weak and the

same programme cannot be received with another frequencies, “NO AF” will be indicated.

• When automatic tuning (page 8) is activated while “AF”

is displayed, only FM stations which transmit RDS data will be received.

• When you press the AF/TA button while an MW or LW

station is received, FM1 will be automatically selected.

Getting the Stored RDS Stations tuned in from the Broadcasting Networks

When the unit stores an RDS station transmitting the AF data on a preset number button, it stores not only its frequency but also its AF and PI (Programme Identification) data. The unit will store this data in its memory no matter whether the AF function is ON or OFF. Using the AF function, you can select a better signal station by re-tuning within the same broadcasting network of the memorized station.

Press the preset number button.

Note

If by the AF data no other station can be found in the network of the memorized station, “PS” will blink for eight seconds. Then, “PI seek” will be displayed, and the unit will search for a station with the same PI data. If the unit finds no other station with the same PI data, it will return to the original station.

With the CD changer connected

When (a) CD changer with custom file function is connected, you can display the customized titles (Disc Memo Function) and play selected tracks (Bank Function) on the discs. These settings are stored in the memory of the CD changer. Therefore, even if you take a custom-filed disc out of the CD changer, you can still use the same custom file function the next time you play that disc in the same CD changer. (You can register the customized titles and the PLAY/SKIP settings on up to 110 discs*.)

If you try to register more than 110 discs, the unit will display the “*Mem Full*” indication and will not accept the command for custom-filing. In this case, you will have to erase other discs from the CD changer memory before you enter the new ones.
