Band number and "MEMO" appear alternately for a while.

4 Repeat the above procedure to store other stations into other preset numbers.

Notes:

• A previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.
• Preset stations are erased when the power supply to the memory circuit is interrupted (for example, during battery replacement). If this occurs, preset the stations again.

Tuning into a preset station

You can easily tune into a preset station. Remember that you must store stations first. If you have not stored them yet, see "Storing stations in memory" on pages 9 and 10.

1 Select the band.

Press SOURCE to select FM or AM as the source.
2If necessary, press and hold MODE BAND to select the FM band number (FM1, FM2 or FM3).

Each time you press and hold the button, the FM band changes as follows:

2 Select the number (1-6) for the preset station you want.

If the sound quality decreases and the stereo effect is lost while listening to an FM station

In some areas, adjacent stations may interfere with each other. If this interference occurs, this unit can automatically reduce this interference noise (the initial setting when shipped from the factory). However, in this case, the sound quality will be degraded and the stereo effect will be also lost.

If you do not want to degrade the sound quality and to lose the stereo effect, rather than to eliminate the interference noise, see "To change the FM tuner selectivity — IF FILTER" on page 26.

What you can do with RDS EON

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of programme they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

Another advantage of RDS function is called "EON (Enhanced Other Networks)." The EON indicator lights up while receiving an FM station with the EON data. By using the EON data sent from a station, you can tune into a different station of a different network broadcasting your favourite programme or traffic announcement while listening to another programme or to another source such as CD.

By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the following:

• Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-Tracking Reception)
• Standby Reception of TA (Traffic Announcement) or your favourite 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 is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically tunes into another RDS station, broadcasting the same programme with stronger signals. So, you can continue to listen to the same programme in its finest reception, no matter where you drive. (See the illustration on the next page.)

Two types of the RDS data are used to make Network-Tracking Reception work correctly - PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency).

Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, Network-Tracking Reception will not operate.

To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and hold TP/RDS (traffic programme/radio data system) for more than 1 second. Each time you press and hold the button, Network-Tracking Reception modes change as follows:

Mode 1

The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not.

Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization set to "off."

Switches to another station within the same network when the receiving signals from the current station become weak.

• In this mode, the programme may differ from the one currently received.

Mode 2

Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up.

Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization set to "on."

Switches to another station, within the same network, broadcasting the same programme when the receiving signals from the current station become weak.

Mode 3

Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up.

Network-Tracking Reception is deactivated.

Note:

If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternative Reception (for DAB services) is activated, Network-Tracking Reception is also activated automatically. On the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception. (See page 39.)

The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency A

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency E

Using Standby Reception

Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favourite programme (PTY: Programme Type) and Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM station, CD and other connected components).

• Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station.

TA Standby Reception

When you press TP/RDS while listening to an FM station, the TP indicator is lit during reception of a TP (Traffic Programme) station and the TA standby mode is engaged.

• When the station being received is not a TP station, the TP indicator flashes. Press or to engage the TA standby mode. "SEARCH" appears on the display, and TP station search starts. When a TP station is tuned in, the TP indicator is lit.

If you are listening to a CD or other connected components and wish to listen to a TP station, press TP/RDS to enter the TA standby mode. (The TP indicator lights up.)

If a traffic programme starts broadcasting while the TA standby mode is active, "TRAFFIC" appears and the playback source changes to the FM band. The volume increases to the preset TA volume level (see page 15) and the traffic programme can be heard.

To deactivate the TA standby mode, press TP/RDS again.

PTY Standby Reception

When you press PTY while listening to an FM station, the PTY indicator is lit during reception of a PTY station and the PTY standby mode is engaged. The selected PTY name stored on page 13 flashes for 5 seconds.

• When the station being received is not a PTY station, the PTY indicator flashes. Press or engage the PTY standby mode. "SEARCH" appears on the display, and PTY station search starts. When a PTY station is tuned in, the PTY indicator is lit.

If you are listening to a CD or other connected components and wish to listen to a selected PTY broadcast, press PTY to enter the PTY standby mode. (The PTY indicator lights up.)

If the selected PTY programme starts broadcasting while the PTY standby mode is active, the selected PTY name appears and the playback source changes to the FM band. The selected PTY programme can then be heard.

To deactivate the PTY standby mode, press PTY again.

Note:

Normally the control dial works for volume adjustment. So you do not have to select "VOLUME" to adjust the volume level.

What is BBE?

The BBE ^11 * function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording, broadcasts, etc.

When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBE function adjusts the phase relationship between the low, mid and high frequencies by adding a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies reach the listener's ears at the proper time.

In addition, the BBE function boosts low and high frequencies, which loudspeakers tend to be less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation. When combined with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer, more finely detailed "live" presence.

As you turn the control dial, the BBE function changes as follows:

As the number gets higher, the BBE function becomes stronger.

When shipped from the factory, the BBE function is set to "BBE 2."

To cancel the BBE function, select "BBE OFF."

What is DAB system?

DAB is one of the digital radio broadcasting systems available today. It can deliver CD quality sound without any annoying interference and signal distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures and data.

In contrast to FM broadcast, where each programme is transmitted on its own frequency, DAB combines several programmes (called "services") to form one "ensemble."

With the DAB tuner connected with this unit, you can enjoy these DAB services.

Tuning into an ensemble and one of the services

A typical ensemble has 6 or more programmes (services) broadcast at the same time. After tuning into an ensemble, you can select a service you want to listen to.

1 Select the DAB tuner (DAB1-3).

2 Select the DAB band (DAB1, DAB2, or DAB3).

Each time you press and hold the button, the DAB band changes as follows:

Note:

This receiver has three DAB bands (DAB1, DAB2, DAB3). You can use any of them to tune into an ensemble.

Handling CDs

This unit has been designed to reproduce the CDs bearing the following marks.

You can play back your original CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) on this receiver.

This unit is not compatible with MP3.

How to handle CDs

When removing a CD from

its case, press down the center holder of the case and lift the CD out, holding it by the edges.

• Always hold the CD by the edges. Do not touch its recording surface.

When storing a CD into its case, gently insert the CD around the center holder (with the printed surface facing up).

Make sure to store CDs into the cases after use.

To keep CDs clean

A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

To play new CDs

New CDs may have some rough spots around the inner and outer edges. If such a CD is used, this unit may reject the CD.

To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

About mistracking:

Mistracking may result from driving on extremely rough roads. This does not damage the unit and the CD, but will be annoying.

We recommend that you stop CD play while driving on such rough roads.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD 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 may malfunction. In this case, eject the CD and leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can be played back only if they are already "finalized."

• You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in music CD format. (However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player's lens is dirty.
• CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high temperatures or high humidity; so do not leave them inside your car.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. (This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.)

CAUTIONS:

• Do not insert 8 cm CDs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such CDs cannot be ejected.)
• Do not insert any CD of unusual shape - like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a malfunction.
• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in a car.
• Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean CDs.
