Using the Radio Data System (RDS)

(For European model only)

What is the Radio Data System?

Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal. This tuner offers convenient RDS features, such as station name display and location of stations by program type. RDS is available only on FM stations*.

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.

* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they all provide the same types of services. If you are not familiar with the RDS system, check with your local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.

Receiving RDS broadcasts

Simply select a station from the FM band.

When you tune in a station that provides RDS services, the station name appears.

To check the RDS information

Each time you press DISPLAY, the display changes cyclically as follows:

Station name* → Frequency → Program type* → Clock display → Effect status

* If the RDS broadcast is not received, the station name and program type may not appear in the display.

Additional Information

Precautions

On operating voltage

Before operating the unit, check that the operating voltage of your unit is identical with the voltage of your local power supply.

On safety

  • The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
  • Unplug the unit from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not to be used for an extended period of time. To disconnect the cord (mains lead), pull it out by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.
  • Should any solid object or liquid fall into the component, unplug the unit and have the component checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
  • The AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On placement

  • Do not place the unit in an inclined position.
  • Do not place the unit in locations where it is:
    — extremely hot or cold
    — dusty or dirty
    — very humid
    — vibrating
    — subject to direct sunlight

On heat buildup

  • Although the unit heats up during the operation, this is not the malfunction.
  • Place the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the unit.
    If you continuously use this unit at a large volume, the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not touch the cabinet.
    To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation hole for cooling fan.

On operation

  • If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player. Should this occur, the unit will not operate properly. Remove the CD and leave the unit turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.
  • When you move the unit, take out any discs.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your unit, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on CDs

  • Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out.
  • Do not use solvents.
  • Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources.

- Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this unit. Do not use such discs.

Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution.

To save a tape permanently

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as illustrated.

If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover the broken tab with adhesive tape. However, be careful not to cover the detector slots which allow the tape player to automatically detect the type of tape.

text_image Detector slots

Tab of side B Tab of side A

SONY LBTXG60 - To save a tape permanently - 2

text_image Tape type: CrO₂/Metal Tape type: Normal Detector slots

Break off the cassette tab of side A

Before placing a cassette in the tape deck

Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise the tape may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and become damaged.

When using a tape longer than 90 minutes

The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding, etc. frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape deck.

Cleaning the tape heads

Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use. Make sure to clean the tape heads before you start an important recording or after playing an old tape. Use separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette.

Demagnetizing the tape heads

Demagnetize the tape heads and the metal parts that have contact with the tape every 20 to 30 hours of use with a separately sold demagnetizing cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the demagnetizing cassette.
