WIRING CONNECTION

OPERATIONS

LOCATION OF KEYS

SWITCHING ON/OFF THE UNIT

Switch on the unit by pressing any button (except RELEASE button (7) and EJECT button (4)). When the system is on, press POWER button (9) to turn off the unit.

FACEPLATE RELEASE

Press RELEASE button (7) to detach the removable faceplate.

SOUND ADJUSTMENT

Press SEL button (10) to select the desired adjustment mode. The adjustment mode will change in the following order:

By rotating the knob (10) clockwise or counter-clockwise, it is possible to adjust the desired sound quality.

Press SEL button (10) for several seconds, it is activated as cyclical mode of following functions for user's selection.

a) TA SEEK OR TA ALARM

- TA SEEK mode:

When newly tuned station does not receive TP information for several seconds, the radio retunes to next station which has not the same station (PI) as the last station, but has the TP information. When TP information gets lost at the current station for retune time which is set by RETUNE SHORT (30 sec.) or RETUNE LONG (90 sec.), the radio start to retune to next same PI station.

When same PI station does not catch in 1 cyclic search, the radio retunes to next station with TP information.

- TA ALARM mode:

When this mode is selected, any automatic retune mode is not activated. Only double beep sound (ALARM) is output.

When newly tuned station does not have TP information for several seconds, beeps come out. When TP information gets lost at the current station for retune time, the beep sound is output.

When a newly tuned station has no RDS signal, "PI SEEK" is somewhat suppressed.

b) PI SOUND or PI MUTE

While AF switching is implemented in C201 station, AF can switch to 100 MHz, which is non-genuine AF (where, different PI with same AF) in short "DIP".

If a car cruises that critical area back and forth, an oscillation

phenomenon can occur, because the different PI code can be received from 100 MHz with "XXX" PI.

The car radio has a special procedure to reduce even this kind of unavoidable situation, however there is a limit to escape from this serious case perfectly.

In that serious case, 2 modes are selectable as follows:

- PI SOUND mode:

When the above different PI sound (DIP) is heard once in a while, the DIP's sound will be heard for a short time.

- PI MUTE mode:

Under the above same situation, a mute sound will be heard for a short time.

c) RETUNE L or RETUNE S mode

The initial time of automatic TA search or PI search modes is selected.

When PI information is not caught for retune time, the radio starts to retune to the next same PI station.

When the same PI station is not caught in 1 cyclic search, the radio goes to the last station and waits for several minutes until the PI code is received.

- RETUNE L mode:

Selected as 90 seconds.

- RETUNE S mode:

Selected as 30 seconds.

d) MASK DPI or MASK ALL mode

The AF frequency (which has different PI or NO RDS signal with high field strength) is masked during checking PI when the unit searches AF. The unit doesn't search this AF (DIP) for few minutes. In the case of the AF of NO RDS signal with high field strength, if the real AF is wrongly masked as DIP by some interference, the unit hesitates to search real AFs. For this reason, the unit has the user option (MASK DPI) which doesn't mask the AF of NO RDS signal with high field strength. In MASK DPI mode, the wrong sound or long mute (according to PI SOUND or PI MUTE) can be heard from the AF station which has NO RDS signal and of which the field strength is higher than that of the currently tuning AF (station).

But, these phenomena are rare and the user will hardly hear the wrong sound in whole Europe.

- MASK DPI mode:

Masked only the AF which has different PI.

- MASK ALL mode:

Masked the AF which has different PI and NO RDS signal with high field strength.

e) BEEP 2'ND, BEEP ALL, BEEP OFF mode

The situation of beep sound is selected.

The 3 modes are selected also by rotating VOLUME knob (10) clockwise or counter-clockwise.

- BEEP 2'nd mode:

The beep is only generated when all allowed double key is pressed long (1 sec).

e.g.

When preset button (14) is pressed.

When BND/LOU button (13) is pressed. When AS/PS button (18) is pressed.

- BEEP ALL mode:

The beep is generated when every key is pressed.

- BEEP OFF mode:

The beep is disabled.

LOUDNESS

Press BND /LOU/ENT button (13) for several seconds to reinforce the bass output. Press it for several seconds again to release this function.

DISPLAY

Press DSP button (15) to operate as the conversion of each display mode as follows:

- In case of receiving a RDS station

In radio mode:

->PS ->CT ->FREQ ->PTY ->

In CD mode:

-> CD -> CT -> PS -> FREQ -> PTY ->

• If no CT or PTY information is received, the display shows "NO CLOCK" or "NO PTY".
• If a non-RDS station is received,

In radio mode:

-> "NO CLOCK" -> FREQ -> "NO PTY" ->

In CD mode:

-> CD -> CT -> FREQ -> "NO PTY" ->

Each display lasts for several seconds, then returns to position 1 after a few seconds.

Notes:

• CT = clock time
• FREQ = frequency

EQUALIZATION

STATION STORING

Press any one of the preset buttons (14) (1 to 6) to select a station that has been stored in memory. Press and hold this button for several seconds (until a second beep is heard) to store the current station into that number button.

Press the AF/REG button (3) and release immediately to switch RDS mode on or off. Whenever RDS is switched on, the symbol AF appears on the display. The program name is displayed when receiving an RDS station.

AF starts blinking if the broadcasting signal gets worse.

ALARM will be displayed when an emergency broadcast is received. Meanwhile, the sound output level will be automatically adjusted to the preset output level when the volume control is set to minimum.

- Regional Program Operation

Press the AF button (3) for several seconds to switch region mode on or off.

Some broadcasting stations change their program from normal broadcasting to regional broadcasting for a certain time period.

When region is on, the current listening program remains unchanged.

When region is off, it allows the reception to move to the regional station.

- Using PTY to Select Program: The PTY button (1) is operated as follows:

While selecting PTY engagement, its selection is implemented by preset buttons as described in the notes. When PTY is selected, the radio starts to search for corresponding PTY information, and stops if the corresponding PTY information is detected. If corresponding PTY information no longer exists, PTY engagement automatically exits to normal mode.

When PTY mode is engaged, the PTY switch is shared as follows:

According to the above 2 allotted groups, the preset number is used for PTY selection as follows:

MUSIC group

* POP M, ROCK M *EASY M, LIGHT M *CLASSICS, OTHER M

*JAZZ, COUNTRY *NATION M, OLDIES *FOLK M

SPEECH group

*NEWS, AFFAIRS, INFO *SPORT, EDUCATE, DRAMA *CULTURE, SCIENCE, VARIED *WEATHER, FINANCE, CHILDREN *SOCIAL, RELIGION, PHONE IN *TRAVEL, LEISURE, DOCUMENT

- Listening to Traffic Announcement: The TA button (2) is operated as follows: When pressed briefly, it toggles TA mode on or off.

When TA mode is on and a traffic announcement is transmitted:

When the unit was in CD (MP3), it will temporarily switch to radio mode.

Temporary switch over to an EON linked station when EON detects a traffic announcement on that other program.

If the volume level was under the threshold point it will be raised to the threshold point. But if the user changed the volume level, which was more than the threshold point (min. TA volume level), it will be set to the last level. When TA mode is on, TA of individual segment is turned on.

When a TP station is received, TP of individual segment is turned on. TA interruption function

The current traffic announcement is cancelled by pressing this key. But the TA mode will not be off. When pressed long, it is selected EON TA LOCAL/EON TA DISTANCE mode.

The purpose of this key is to reduce unwanted EON TA switching, which EON TA information was received from current station and the radio switched to that EON linked station, but no information could not be received because the EON linked station is located too far from that area.

So the radio is switched back to current station again. In above operation, a customer listens to a wrong program or mute sound for a while.

EON TA LOCAL mode

When the field strength level of EON linked is less than threshold level, the radio does not switch that station, and a customer can hardly listen to any disturbances.

When EON TA LOCAL mode is selected, "EON TA Lo" on numeric display is indicated for a few seconds.

EON TA DISTANCE mode

EON TA switch is tried to be implemented by the information of current station.

When EON TA DISTANCE mode is selected, "EON TA Dx" on numeric display is indicated for a few seconds.

The RDS data used are the PI, PS, AF, TP, TA, EON and PTY data.

PI: Program Identification code (Code for identifying programs)

PS: Program Service Name (Broadcast station name data expressed in alphanumeric characters)

AF: Alternative Frequencies (Frequency list of broadcasting stations transmitting the same program)

TP: Traffic Program Identification (Identification data for traffic information-broadcasting station)
