When tuned to an RDS station, "RDS" and the station name will be displayed.

"PTYI" (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the Dynamic PTY station is received.

You can control the RDS by using the buttons on the remote control only.

Information provided by RDS

Each time the RDS DISPLAY button is pressed, the display will switch as follows:

When tuning in to a station other than an RDS station or to an RDS station which sends weak signal, the display will change in the following order:

Using the Auto Station Programme Memory (ASPM)

To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete:

Press the RDS (ASPM) button whilst it is scanning for stations. The stations which are already stored in memory will be kept there.

Notes:

●Any station which has the same frequency as the one stored in memory will not be stored.
- If 40 stations have already been stored in memory, the scan will be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM operation, erase the preset memory.
- If no station have been stored in memory, "0 MEM" and "END" will appear for about 4 seconds.
- If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be stored in memory.
●The same station name can be stored in different channels.
●In a certain area or during certain time periods, the station names may temporarily be different.

Notes for RDS operation

If any of the following events occur, it does not mean that the unit is faulty:

●“PS”, “NO PS” and a station name appear alternately, and the unit does not operate properly.
- If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a station is conducting tests, the RDS reception function may not work properly.
- When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too weak, information like the station name may not be displayed.
- "NO PS", "NO PTY" or "NO RT" will be displayed for about few seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.

Notes for radio text:

● The first 8 characters of the radio text will appear for 4 seconds and then they will scroll across the display.
- If you tune in to an RDS station which is not broadcasting any radio text, "NO RT" will be displayed when you switch to the radio text position.
●Whilst radio text data is received or when the text contents change, "RT" will be displayed.

Each time the button is pressed, the PTY code will appear.

4 Whilst the selected PTY code is displayed (within 6 seconds), press the RDS PTY button again.

●The unit searches the all preset stations and stops when it finds a station of the selected category then tunes into the stations. The RDS indicator lights up.
- If no programme is found in the all preset stations, "NO PTY" appear on the display and returns to the previous station.

Notes:

• If the display has stopped flashing, start again from step 2. If the unit finds a desired programme type, the corresponding channel number will lit for about 4 seconds, and then the station name will remain it.
• If you want to listen to the same programme type of another station, press the RDS PTY button and start again from step 2. The unit will look for the next station.

Troubleshooting chart (continued)

■Before transporting the unit

Remove the USB memory device and disc from the unit. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit with the USB memory device or disc left inside can damage the unit.

■Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collection and player.

• Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
• Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.
  ●Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.

NO YES
