1. PRECAUTIONS

1. When the inside of the car is very cold and the player is used soon after switching on the heater moisture may form on the disc or the optical parts of the player and proper playback may not be possible. If moisture forms on the disc, wipe it off with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on the optical parts of the player, do not use the player for about one hour. The condensation will disappear naturally allowing normal operation.

2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause severe vibration may cause the sound to skip.

3. This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even in the event that trouble arises, never open the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.

RDS Operations

RDS (Radio Data System)

This unit has a built-in RDS decoder system that supports broadcast stations transmitting RDS data.

This system can display the name of the broadcast station being received (PS) and can automatically switch to the broadcast station with the best reception as you move long distances (AF switching).

Also, if a traffic announcement or programme type is broadcast from an RDS station, no matter what mode you are in, this broadcast is received. Additionally, if EON information is received, this information enables automatic switching of other preset stations on the same network and interruption of the station being received with traffic information from other stations (TP). This function is not available in some areas.

When using the RDS function, always set the radio to FM mode.

• AF : Alternative Frequency
• PS : Programme Service Name
- PTY : Programme Type
• EON : Enhanced Other Network
- TP : Traffic Programme

* RDS interrupt does not function during AM radio reception.
* When set receives RDS signal, and can read PS data, PS appears in the display.

TA (Traffic Announcement)

In the TA standby mode, when a traffic announcement broadcast starts, the traffic announcement broadcast is received as top priority regardless of the function mode so you can listen to it. Traffic programme (TP) automatic tuning is also possible.

* This function can only be used when “TP” is lit in the display. When “TP” is lit, this means that the RDS broadcast station being received has traffic announcement programmes.

- Cancelling the TA standby mode

As “TP” and “TA” lit in the display, press the [TA] button. The “TA” in the display goes off and the TA standby mode is cancelled.

* If "TP" is not lit, pressing the [TA] button searches for a TP station.

- Searching for a TP station

When "TP" is not lit, if you press the [TA] button, "TA" in the display lights and the unit automatically receives a TP station.

Note:

- If a TP station is not received, the unit continues the search operation. Pressing [TA] button again goes off "TA" in the display and stops TP station searching.

Auto store function for TP stations

You can automatically store up to 6 TP stations into preset memory. If the number of TP can be received less than 6, broadcast stations already stored in memory and left without being overwritten.

As “TA” lit in the display, press and hold the [▶II] button for 2 seconds or longer. The TP stations with the good reception sensitivity are stored into preset memory.

* Even if you select FM1 or FM2, a TP station is stored into memory for FM3.

Emergency broadcast

If an emergency broadcast is received, all the Function mode operations are stopped.

"ALARM" appears in the display and the emergency broadcast can be heard.

● Cancelling an emergency broadcast

If you press the [SRC] button, emergency broadcast reception is cancelled.

Volume setting of TA, emergency broadcast (ALARM) and PTY

The volume for TA, ALARM and PTY interrupts can be set during TA, ALARM or PTY interrupt.

* The factory default setting for this volume is "VOL 15".

During a TA, ALARM or PTY interrupt, turn the [ROTARY] knob to set the volume to the desired level (0 to 33).

* When the TA, ALARM or PTY interrupt ends, the volume returns to the level it had before the interrupt.

RDS Mode adjustment

What is MP3?

MP3 is an audio compression method and classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. This audio compression method has penetrated into PC users and become a standard format. This MP3 features the original audio data compression to about 12 percent of its initial size with a high quality sound. This means that about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time without having to change CDs.

What is WMA?

WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Audio, an audio file format developed by Microsoft Corporation.
