Advanced Features
Using the Radio Data System (RDS)
RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations provide. These FM stations send additional signals along wit...
When tuned to an RDS station, “RDS” and the station name will be displayed.
“TP” (Traffic programme) will appear on the display when the received broadcast carries traffic information, and “TA” (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic information is on air.
“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 you are 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:
Advanced Features
Using the Auto Station Programme Memory (ASPM)
Whilst in the ASPM operation mode, the tuner will automatically search for new RDS stations. Up to 40 stations can be stored.
If you have already stored some stations in memory, the number of new stations you can store will be less.
Advanced Features
Using the Radio Data System (RDS) (continued)
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:
If the same station is broadcasting on different frequencies, the strongest frequency will be stored in memory.
Any station which has the same frequency as 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 stations have been stored in memory, “END” will appear for about 4 seconds.
If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be stored in memory.
To erase all of the contents of preset memory:
To store a station name again if the wrong name was stored in memory:
It may be impossible to store station names in memory using the ASPM function if there is lots of noise or if the signal is too weak. In this case, perform as follows.
Notes:
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 flash for about 5 seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.
Notes for radio text:
The first 10 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.
Advanced Features
To recall stations in memory
To specify programmed types and select stations (PTY search):
You can search a station by specifying the programme type (news, sports, traffic programme, etc. ... see pages 33 - 34) from the stations in memory.
Advanced Features
Using the Radio Data System (RDS) (continued)
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 flash for about 4 seconds, and then the station name will flash for 7 seconds, which will remain lit.
If you want to listen to the same programme type of another station, press the RDS PTY button whilst the channel number or station name is flashing. The unit will look for the next station.
If no station can be found, “NOT FOUND” will appear for 4 seconds.
If you select the traffic programme
If you select the traffic programme (TP) in step 3, “TP” will appear. (This does not mean that you can listen to the traffic information at that time.)
When the traffic information is broadcast, “TA” will appear.
To specify station names and select stations manually:
You can select a station by specifying the name (BBC R1, BBC R2, etc.) from the stations stored in memory.
Before starting this operation, you must store one or more station names in memory.

If trouble occurs
When this product is subjected to strong external interference (mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunction.
If such a problem occurs, do the following:
1 Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again.
2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and plug in the unit, and then turn the power on.
Note:
If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by resetting it.
Clearing all the memory (reset)
1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by mode.
2 Whilst pressing down the button and the button, press the TUNER (BAND) button until “CLEAR ALL” appears.
Caution:
This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock, timer settings, tuner preset, and CD programme.
Before transporting the unit
Remove all CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit with discs 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.

When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit which contains high voltages.
After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become magnetised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once every 30 h...
Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution, then with a dry cloth.
Caution:
