Room Simulation
(Model VR 400 Only)

You can select one of 5 acoustic settings,
simulating different listening environ­ments and providing a variety of sound
qualities:

TALK: This mode limits the fre­quency response and delays audio
from the rear speakers compared to
the front speakers. This effect is
very useful on AM talk radio
because it filters much of the noise
and moves the audio image for­ward.

LIVE: Simulates the acoustics of
live musical performance in a larger
room.

AUDITORIUM: The same effect
as LIVE, but more pronounced,
giving the feeling of an even larger
room.

ARENA: Creates the effect of
being in a large arena.

DRIVER L or DRIVER R: The
sound from the driver side front
speaker is delayed with respect to
the passenger side front speaker,
creating the effect of shifting or
moving the audio image (for left
hand and right hand drive vehicles).

Speed-Dependent Volume
(Model VR 400 only)

The Model VR 400 can automatically
adjust the volume based on your vehi­cle’s speed, turning the volume up as
you travel faster and down as you travel
slower. This adjustment helps the radio
to be heard over vehicle and road noise.

To turn on Speed-Dependent Volume,

change to “N” (off), “1” (low setting),
“2” (medium setting) or “3” (high set­ting).

Note: The volume change is heard only
while the vehicle is moving, but may not

Weather Band

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) of the U.S.
Department of Commerce provides con­tinuous broadcasts of taped weather
messages. These messages are repeated
every 4 to 6 minutes and routinely
updated every 1 to 3 hours. Updates are
more frequent during severe weather.
Most NOAA weather stations broadcast
24 hours a day.

NOAA broadcasts on 7 channels. In
some areas, more than one broadcast
may be available. Select the broadcast
location closest to your location for the
best reception.

Note: The Weather Band option is only
available when the country chosen is
“Americas.” See the Country Frequency
Selection section.

Note: Severe weather condition broad­casts are not automatically broadcasted

The radio can automatically seek
stations, finding and stopping on the
next station that exceeds the sensitivity
level set.

To seek for a station in any tuner mode
(AM, FM, WX, LW):

the next higher or lower station on the
current band. The radio mutes as it
searches for the next station with a strong
signal. When it finds a station, the radio
stops seeking and the audio returns to
the original volume.

Seek Sensitivity - FM and AM
(U.S. Frequency bands only)

In FM and AM tuner modes, the sensi­tivity of the Seek function can be adjust­ed to stop at stations with weaker or
stronger signals. To adjust this sensitivity,

After selecting SEEK, you can also
rotate the VOLUME knob to scroll
between the settings.

After 5 seconds, the setting is saved and
the display returns to the default. The
“-2” setting will stop only on very
strong signals. The “+2” setting will stop
on weaker signals.

Scan

RDS (Radio Data System)
Features

RDS transmits additional information
encoded on an FM station’s regular sig­nal. The RDS feature works only with
FM broadcast stations transmitting this
encoded information. RDS broadcast is
widely available in Europe, but less
common in North America.

RDS features include:

• Alternate Frequency switching

• Traffic Program announcements

• Program Type selections

• Radio Text

Alternate Frequency Switching
(AF)

With the AF feature, the radio automati­cally switches to another station or fre­quency, if available, that is broadcasting
the identical program materials as the
original station, when the original station
begins to fade. With AF turned on, you
can drive across a country or continent
while listening to the same program,
without retuning your radio.

To turn the AF feature on,

To turn AF off,

Note: AF networks are common in
Europe, but rare in the US.

Setting FM Memory
(European programmed
radio frequencies only)

You can help the radio make faster Seeks
and AF switches to new frequencies by
using the FM Memory function. This
function searches for and stores the fre­quencies of local RDS and non-RDS FM
stations in memory. The radio uses this
information so it can more quickly find
and switch to a stronger station when the
currently tuned station begins to fade or a
stronger signal becomes available.

Note: The stations stored using the FM
Memory function are separate from
stored FM Presets.

To manually activate the FM Memory
function and store local radio frequency
information, press and hold the AUTO

While in FM Mode, press and hold TUNE

button for 5 seconds while in FM mode.
The radio also will automatically start an
FM Memory search any time you Seek a
TP station when AF is off, or Seek a TP
station when the radio is not tuned to an
RDS station.

Note: You can’t start an FM Memory
search while the radio is receiving a TP
broadcast.

The radio displays “MEMORY” and the
audio mutes as it seeks for and stores
FM station information.

Note: If TP is turned on when you start
the FM Memory function, the radio dis­play will indicate “SEARCH” instead of
“MEMORY”.

The FM memory process typically takes
less than 30 seconds, but can take up to
several minutes, depending on the num­ber and type of stations available. You
can cancel the FM memory search by
turning AF off or pressing and holding
the AUTO button.

To keep the stored FM Memory infor­mation current, you should occasionally
repeat the FM Memory search to update
the information about local frequencies.
FM Memory information remains stored
until another FM Memory store function
occurs.

Traffic Program (TP)

When the Traffic Program feature is
turned on and a traffic announcement is
received, the radio will automatically
interrupt the current mode to broadcast
traffic condition announcements that are
provided by some stations or networks.

Note: TP cannot be turned on in AM,
WX or LW mode.

If TP is turned on and the radio is not
tuned to a station broadcasting traffic
announcements, it will begin to SEEK a
station that broadcasts announcements.
The radio will display “SEARCH”.

During a Traffic Announcement, the
radio display shows “TRAFFIC”.

There are 3 TP icons that may be dis­played:

TP – Current station can broadcast
traffic announcements, the function
is not enabled.

[ TP ] Flashing – Current station
can broadcast traffic announce­ments, the function is enabled.

[ ] – The function is enabled, but
there are no stations/networks being
received that broadcast traffic infor­mation. This can also occur if the
TP function is enabled but the radio
travels out of the broadcast area for
the station/network that was broad­casting the traffic information.

Press to turn on.

[TP] icon will display.

Press again to

turn off.

Tape Player Care

The tape player must be cleaned after
every 35 hours of use.

Caution: Not cleaning the tape
player can cause reduced sound
quality and may ruin your cas­settes or damage the player.

Clean the player with a scrubbing­action, non-abrasive cleaning cassette.
These cassettes have a bottle of cleaning
liquid that is applied to cleaning pads
and scrubs the tape heads. To properly
clean your tape player, follow the
instructions with the cleaning cassette.
Cleaning cassettes should be replaced
regularly.

Note: The cleaning cassette is not
included with your radio and must be
purchased separately.

Never touch the cassette head with mag­netic or hard objects.

Do not lubricate the player mechanism.

Do not use cassettes that are longer than

like C-120, tend to have thinner tape that
may stretch or break and may damage
your player.

Cassette Tape Care

Do not use cassettes that are deformed,
dirty or contaminated.

Cassette tapes that are not properly
stored in their plastic cases away from
contaminants, direct sunlight and
extreme heat may not operate properly
and may damage your tape player.

Cassette tapes are subject to wear and
the sound quality may degrade over
time. Always verify the cassette tape is

cassette tape also has poor sound quality,
try cleaning the tape player, regardless
of when the player was last cleaned.
