PRECAUTIONS
•Thisunitisdesignedtobeoperatedona12-volt
DC negative-ground electrical system only.
•To prevent short-circuiting, disconnect the
negative car battery terminal until the unit has
been mounted and connected completely.
•When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one
whose amperage rating is identical. Use of a
fuse of higher amperage may cause serious
damage to the unit.
•DoNOTattempttodisassemblethisunit. Laser
rays from the optical pickup are dangerous to
the eyes.
•Make sure that pins or other foreign objects do
not get inside the unit; they may cause
malfunctioning, or a safety hazard such as
electrical shock or exposure of laser rays.
•When your car was parked in direct sunlight
resulting in a considerable rise in temperature
inside the car, allow the unit to cool off before
operating it.
•Keep the volume at such a level that you can
hear outside warning sounds (horns, sirens,
etc.).
Notes on CDs

USING RDS FEATURES
What’s RDS?
DevelopedbytheEuropeanBroadcastingUnion
(EBU), the Radio Data System (RDS) offers
listeners various information services, such as
station name display and traffic announcements
through FM broadcasting.
Since the RDS signals are in digital data form,
you cannot hear them. This means you can
receiveFMprogramswithoutbeing disturbed by
RDS data signals.
This unit can receive the following types of RDS
digital data;
•PS (Program Service) name
Displays the station name during reception.
•AF (Alternative Frequencies)
Automatic tuning to alternative frequencies.
•TP (Traffic Program)
Automatic traffic announcement reception in a
mode other than MW or LW reception mode.
•PTY (Program Type)
Program selection by program type, such as
news or sports, rather than by station.
•EON (Enhanced Other Network)
Switches automatically when a traffic
announcement begins on another network.
Press AF, and the information is updated
automatically.
•CT (Clock Time)
Adjusts the clock time automatically.
To use the CT service, press AF holding TA
pressed. When “CT” appears on the display,
rotatetheJogDialtoselect“CTON”tostartthe
service or “CT OFF” to stop the service.
Whentheunitsuccessfullyreceivestheservice
signal, the CT indicator lights, and the clock is
adjusted automatically. If the unit is in Standby
mode because the signal strength has fallen
belowacertainlevelorthetuned-instationdoes
notoffertheCTservice,theCTindicatorblinks.
Note
The clock adjustment using CT function is not
always reliable in accuracy.
IMPORTANT
•These RDS functions are effective only in FM
(FM1, FM2, or FM3) mode.
•The above functions may not operate correctly
where RDS transmissions are in the
experimental stages.
Station name
Displaying the station name
If the received station has a program service
name, the station name is displayed.
•The station name may not be displayed if the
signal strength is below a certain level.
Receiving alternative frequencies
WhentheFMprogramtunedinisbeingbroadcast
onnetworkstations,youcan continuetolistento
thatprogramwhendrivinglongdistanceswithout
frequent manual retuning.
During FM reception, press AF to turn on the AF
indicator.
•IfthestationtunedindoesnotofferAFdata,the
AF indicator blinks.
The unit searches for an alternative frequency
that has the stronger signal among the network
stations and immediately retunes to that
frequency.

Forexample,iftheprogramtunedinisbroadcast

If no alternative frequencies are found, press AF

Receiving traffic announcements
OncetheunitissettoTA(TrafficAnnouncement)
Standby mode, you can hear traffic
announcementsassoonastheybegin,iftheunit
is in a mode other than MW or LW reception
mode.
1. Tune in an FM station.
2. Press TA to turn on the TP indicator and
enter TA Standby mode.
If the tuned-in station does not offer traffic
announcement service, the TP indicator
blinks.Inthiscase,tuneinanotherFMstation.
3. SelectamodeotherthanMWorLWreception
mode.
When a traffic announcement starts, the unit
automaticallyentersFMreceptionmode,andthe
TA indicator lights. The frequency indicator also
displays the station name a few seconds later.
When the announcement is finished, the TA
indicatorgoesout,andtheoriginalsourcewillbe
heard.
DuringFMreception,press AF,thenpressTA to
turnontheAFandTPindicators. Thisfunctionis
also available in CD Play mode.
If the signal strength of an alternative frequency
falls below a certain level, both the AF and TP
indicators blink.
This function is activated automatically when a
traffic announcement has begun on another
network, so you can listen to the traffic
announcement.
Traffic announcements are heard at a preset
level, regardless of the volume setting. This is
convenient when you want to hear no other
sources other than the traffic announcement.
When the listening volume is set lower than the
preset level, the volume increases to the preset
level.
Setting the preset level for TA mode
1. Press and hold AF for more than 2 seconds.
“BOOST 40” is displayed.
Adjust the volume using the Jog Dial.
The volume changes by 5 steps each time
the Jog Dial is rotated.
2. Press SEL to store the adjusted volume in
memory.
The volume will not be stored in memory if
SEL is not pressed.
•Whenreceivingtrafficannouncements,you
canincreasethevolumemanually,butyou
cannot decrease it, even though the
indicator changes.
Note
Each time you rotate the Jog Dial clockwise, the
sound increases in increments of 5 (45, 50, 55,
60, 65, 70, 75, 80).
Each time you rotate the Jog Dial
counterclockwise, the sound decreases in
increments of 5 (35, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 0).
Receiving traffic announcements (while in a
mode other than MW or LW reception mode)
PressTAtoturnontheTPindicator. Theunitwill
search for the TP station without disturbing the
current mode.
When a traffic announcement starts, the current
mode pauses, and you can hear the
announcement.Whentheannouncementisover,
the previous mode resumes.
About urgent broadcasts (with AF and TA button
OFF)
Even when playing a CD, the unit automatically
switches to Radio mode to receive urgent
broadcasts.
Whentheurgentbroadcastiscompleted,theunit
automatically switches back to CD Play mode
(i.e., to the condition it was in prior to the urgent
broadcast). To cancel reception of an urgent
broadcast before the broadcast is finished, you
can:
•Insert a CD, thus switching to CD Play mode (if
a CD is already inserted, eject it and then
reinsert it).
•Press FUNC repeatedly to select the desired
play mode.
To listen to traffic announcements, press FUNC
repeatedly to switch to Radio mode, then press
TA.
