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 system is on, press POWER button (9) to turn off
the unit.
FACEPLATE RELEASE
Press RELEASE button (7) to detach the removable faceplate.

12
SOUND ADJUSTMENT
Press SEL button (10) to select the desired adjustment mode. The
adjustment mode will change in thefollowing 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 doesnot catch in 1 cyclic search, theradio 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 out-putted.
When newly tuned station has no RDS signal, "PI SEEK" is suppressed
somewhat.
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

13
phenomenon can be occurred, because the different PI code can be
received from 100 MHz with "XXX"PI.
The car radio has special procedure to reduce even this kind of
unavoidable situation however there is a limit to be escaped from this
serious case perfectly.
In that serious case, 2 mode is selectable as follows:
- PI SOUND mode:
When 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 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 next same PI station.
When same PI station does not catch 1 cyclic search, the radio goes to
last station and waits for several minutes until 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).

14
But, these phenomenons 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 mode is selected a also rotating VOLUSE 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.

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

18
While selecting PTY engagement, its selection is implemented by preset
buttons as described in notes.When PTY is selected, the radio starts to
search corresponding PTY information, and stops if the corresponding
PTY information is detected. If corresponding PTY information isnot
existed any more, PTY engagingis automatically exit to normal mode.
LWhen PTY mode is engaged, the PTY switch is shared as follows:
According to above 2 allotted group, the preset number is used for
PTYselection 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 TA button (2) is operated as follows:
When pressed short, it is engaging whether 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 switch temporarily 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 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.

19
EON TA LOCAL mode
When the filed 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 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
alphanumerically characters)
AF:A lternative Frequencies (Frequency list of broadcasting stations
transmitting the same program)
TP: Traffic Program Identification (Identification data for traffic
information-broadcasting station)
TA: Traffic Announcement Identification (Identification data showing traffic
information is being transmitted or not)
EON: Enhanced Other Networks Information (Broadcasting information on
PI, AF, TP, TA, etc, relating to networks other than the network used for
current reception)
PTY: Program Type Code (Contents of programs such as news, light
music, sports etc.)
