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 28.

What you can do with RDS

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 "Enhanced Other Networks." By using the Enhanced Other Networks data sent from a station, you can tune in to 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 in to 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

You can select the different modes of network-tracking reception to continue listening to the same programme in its finest reception.

When shipped from the factory, "AF" is selected.

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

With this setting, the unit 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.)

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

• AF REG: Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization set to "on."

With this setting, the unit switches to another station, within the same network, broadcasting the same programme when the receiving signals from the current station become weak.

Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up.

OFF: Network-Tracking Reception is deactivated.

Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up.

AF indicator REG indicator

Press and hold SEL (S) for more than 2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display. (See pages 25 and 26.)

2 Select "AF-REG (Alternative frequency/Regionalization reception)" if not shown on the display.

3 Select the desired mode – “AF,” “AF REG” or “OFF.”

4 Finish the setting.

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 41.)

The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

Using TA Standby Reception

TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM station or CD and other connected components.)

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

Press TP/PTY (T) to activate TA Standby Reception.

■When the current source is FM, the TP indicator either lights up or flashes.

• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby Reception is activated. If a station starts broadcasting a traffic announcement, "TRAFFIC" appears on the display, and this unit automatically tunes in to the station. The volume changes to the preset TA volume level (see page 17) and the traffic announcement can be heard.
• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby Reception is not yet activated since the station being received does not provide the signals used for TA Standby Reception. To activate TA Standby Reception, you need to tune in to another station providing these signals. Press or to search for such a station. When a station providing these signals is tuned in, the TP indicator stops flashing and remains lit. Now TA Standby Reception is activated.

When the current source is other than FM, the TP indicator lights up. If a station starts broadcasting a traffic announcement, "TRAFFIC" appears on the display, and this unit automatically changes the source and tunes in to the station.

To deactivate the TA Standby Reception, press TP/PTY (T) again.

Using PTY Standby Reception

PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favourite programme (PTY: Programme Type) from the current source (another FM station or CD).

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

You can select your favourite programme type for PTY Standby Reception.

When shipped from the factory, PTY Standby Reception is turned off. ("OFF" is selected for PTY Standby Reception.)

Press and hold SEL (S) for more than 2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display. (See pages 25 and 26.)

2 Select "PTY STBY (standby)" if not shown on the display.

3 Select one of the twenty-nine PTY codes. (See page 18.)

Selected code name appears on the display and is stored into memory.

To cancel the PTY Standby Reception, select "OFF."

4 Finish the setting.

7 When the current source is FM, the PTY indicator either lights up or flashes.

If the PTY indicator lights up, PTY Standby Reception is activated. If a station starts broadcasting the selected PTY programme, this unit automatically tunes in to the station.

• If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby Reception is not yet activated since the station being received does not provide the signals used for PTY Standby Reception. To activate PTY Standby Reception, you need to tune in to another station providing these signals. Press or 4 to search for such a station. When a station providing these signals is tuned in, the PTY indicator stops flashing and remains lit. Now PTY Standby Reception is activated.

7 When the current source is other than FM, the PTY indicator lights up. If a station starts broadcasting the selected PTY programme, this unit automatically changes the source and tunes in to the station.

To deactivate the PTY standby mode, select "OFF" in step 3 of the procedure on the left column. The PTY indicator disappears.

Searching your favorite programme

You can search any one of the PTY codes. In addition, you can store your 6 favorite programme types in the number buttons. When shipped from the factory, the following 6 programme types have been stored in the number buttons (1 to 6).

What is BBE?

The BBE ^II* 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 BEE 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 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 in to an ensemble and one of the services

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

1 Select the DAB tuner (DAB1 - 3).

Each time you press the button, the source changes as described on page 7.

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 (DABI, DAB2, DAB3). You can use any of them to tune into an ensemble.

3 Start searching an ensemble.

Press to search ensembles of higher frequencies.

Press search ensembles of lower frequencies.

When an ensemble is received, searching stops.

To stop searching before an ensemble is received, press the same button you have pressed for searching.

4 Select a service you want to listen to.

BAND MODE M

1Press BAND MODE (M). "MODE" appears on the display.

2 Press BAND MODE (M) repeatedly to select the DAB band (DAB1, DAB2 or DAB3).
3 Press and hold or for more than 1 second.
4 Press or repeatedly until the ensemble you want is reached.

• If you hold down the button, the ensemble keeps changing until you release the button.

Storing DAB services in memory

You can preset up to 6 DAB services in each DAB band (DAB1, DAB2 and DAB3) manually.

1 Select the DAB tuner (DAB1 - 3).

"PI" flashes for a few seconds.

5 Repeat the above procedure to store other DAB services into other preset numbers.

Notes:

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

Tuning in to a preset DAB service

You can easily tune in to a preset DAB service. Remember that you must store services first. If you have not stored them yet, see page 39.

2If necessary, press and hold BAND MODE (M) repeatedly to select the DAB band number (DAB1, DAB2 or DAB3).

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

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

What you can do more with DAB

Tracing the same program automatically (Alternative Reception)

You can keep listening to the same program.

• While receiving a DAB service:
  When driving in an area where a service cannot be received, this unit automatically tunes in another ensemble or FM RDS station, broadcasting the same program.
• While receiving an FM RDS station:

When driving in an area where a DAB service is broadcasting the same program as the FM RDS station is broadcasting, this unit automatically tunes in to the DAB service.

Note:

When reception switches between DAB and FM, the listening volume level may increase or decrease inconveniently. This change in the volume level results from unequal audio injection levels at broadcaster site, but not from the malfunction of this unit. To prevent this inconvenience, you can adjust the DAB volume level (see below).

To adjust the DAB volume level

You can adjust the input level of DAB tuner and store it in memory. By adjusting the input level properly to match it to the FM sound level, you will not need to adjust the volume level each time you change the source.

When shipped from the factory, DAB volume level is set at "00."

See also "Changing the general settings (PSM)" on page 25.

1 Press and hold SEL (S) for more than 2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display.
2 Press or to select "DAB VOL (volume)".
3 Turn the control dial to set to the desired volume. You can set it from -12 to 12
4 Press SEL (S) to finish the setting.

To use Alternative Reception

When shipped from the factory, Alternative Reception is activated.

See also "Changing the general settings (PSM)" on page 25.

1 Press and hold SEL (S) for more than 2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display.
2 Press or to select "DAB AF (alternative frequency)".
3 Turn the control dial to select the desired mode.

• AF ON: Traces the program among DAB services and FM RDS stations — Alternative Reception. The AF indicator lights up on the display (see page 12).
  AF OFF: Deactivates Alternative Reception

Note:

When Alternative Reception (for DAB services) is activated, Network-Tracking Reception (for RDS stations: see page 12) is also activated automatically. On the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception.

4 Press SEL (S) to finish the setting.

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.

Center holder

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.
