ENGLISH RDS OPERATIONS What you can do with RDS RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations tosend an additional signal along with their regularprogramme signals. For example, the stationssend their station names, as well as informationabout what type of programme they broadcast,such as sports or music, etc.Another advantage of RDS function is called“Enhanced Other Networks.” By using theEnhanced Other Networks data sent from astation, you can tune in to a different station of adifferent network broadcasting your favoriteprogramme or traffic announcement whilelistening to another programme or to anothersource such as CD.By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do thefollowing:• Tracing the same programme automatically(Network-Tracking Reception)• Standby Reception of TA (TrafficAnnouncement) or your favorite programme• PTY (Programme Type) search• Programme search• And some other functions Tracing the same programme

automatically (Network-Tracking

Reception) When driving in an area where FM reception isnot good, the tuner built in this unit automaticallytunes in to another RDS station, broadcastingthe same programme with stronger signals. So,you can continue to listen to the sameprogramme in its finest reception, no matterwhere you drive. (See the illustration on page 16.) Two types of the RDS data are used to makeNetwork-Tracking Reception work correctly—PI(Programme Identification) and AF (AlternativeFrequency).Without receiving these data correctly from theRDS station you are listening to, Network-Tracking Reception will not operate. To use Network-Tracking Reception You can select the different modes of network-tracking reception to continue listening to thesame programme in its finest reception.When shipped from the factory, “AF” is selected.• AF: Network-Tracking Reception isactivated with Regionalization set to“off.”With this setting, the unit switches toanother station within the samenetwork when the receiving signalsfrom the current station becomeweak.

Do not touchits recording surface.When storing a CD into its case, gently insertthe CD around the center holder (with the printedsurface facing up).• Make sure to store CDs into the cases after use. To keep CDs clean A dirty CD may not play correctly. Ifa CD does become dirty, wipe itwith a soft cloth in a straight linefrom center to edge. To play new CDs New CDs may have some roughspots around the inner and outeredges. If such a CD is used, thisunit may reject the CD.To remove these rough spots, rubthe edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc. Moisture condensation Moisture may condense on the lens inside theCD player in the following cases:• After starting the heater in the car.• If it becomes very humid inside the car.Should this occur, the CD player maymalfunction. In this case, eject the CD and leavethe unit turned on for a few hours until themoisture evaporates. When playing a CD-R or CD-RW Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, readtheir instructions or cautions carefully. • Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs. • Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back onthis unit because of their disc characteristics,and for the following reasons:– Discs are dirty or scratched.– Moisture condensation on the lens inside theunit.– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.• CD-RWs may require a longer readout timesince the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower thanthat of regular CDs.• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to hightemperatures or high humidity, so do not leavethem inside your car.• Do not use following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:– Discs with stickers, labels, or protective sealstuck to the surface.– Discs on which labels can be directly printedby an ink jet printer.Using these discs under high temperatures orhigh humidity may cause malfunctions ordamage to discs. For example,– Stickers or labels may shrink and warp a disc.– Stickers or labels may peel off so discscannot be ejected.– Print on discs may get sticky.Read instructions or cautions about labels andprintable discs carefully. CAUTIONS: • Do not insert 8 cm CDs (single CDs) into theloading slot. (Such CDs cannot be ejected.)• Do not insert any CD of unusual shape—like aheart or flower; otherwise, it will cause amalfunction.• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or anyheat source or place them in a place subject tohigh temperature and humidity. Do not leavethem in a car.• Do not use any solvent (for example,conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,benzine, etc.) to clean CDs.Center holderWarped disc StickerStickerresidue Disc Stick-onlabel EN25-27_KD-S743R[E_EX]f.p65 11/18/02, 6:40 PM2627
