How to read this manual
The following methods are used to make the
explanations simple and easy-to-understand:
• Some related tips and notes are explained in
“More about this unit” (see page 20).
• Button operations are mainly explained with
the illustrations as follows:
Press briefly.
Press repeatedly.
Press either one.
Press and hold until
your desired response
begins.
Press and hold both
buttons at the same
time.
How to use the MODE button
If you press MODE, the unit goes into functions
mode, then the number buttons and ¢/
4buttons work as different function
buttons.

To use these buttons for original functions
again after pressing MODE, wait for
5 seconds without pressing any of these buttons
until the functions mode is cleared.
• Pressing MODE again also clears the
functions mode.

What you can do with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM
stations to send an additional signal along
with their regular programme signals.
By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do
the following:
• Programme Type (PTY) Search (see left
column)
• Temporarily switches to Traffic
Announcement—TA Standby Reception
(see page 11)
•
Temporarily switches to your favorite
programme—PTY Standby Reception (see
pages 11 and 17)
• Tracing the same programme automatically
—Network-Tracking Reception (see page 11)
• Programme Search (see page 17)
Storing your favorite programmes
You can store six favorite programme types.

Using the standby receptions
TA Standby Reception
TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch
temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA)
from any source other than AM.
The volume changes to the preset TA volume
level (see page 17).
To activate TA Standby Reception
The TP indicator either
lights up or flashes.
• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby
Reception is activated.
• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby
Reception is not yet activated. (This occurs
when you are listening to an FM station
without the RDS signals required for TA
Standby Reception.)
To activate TA Standby Reception, tune in to
another station providing these signals. The
TP indicator will stop flashing and remain lit.
To deactivate the TA Standby Reception
The TP indicator goes off.
PTY Standby Reception
PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to
switch temporarily to your favorite PTY
programme from any source other than AM.
To activate and select your favorite PTY
code for PTY Standby Reception, see page
17.
The PTY indicator either lights up or flashes.
• If the PTY indicator lights up, PTY Standby
Reception is activated.
• If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby
Reception is not yet activated.
To activate PTY Standby Reception, tune in
to another station providing these signals. The
PTY indicator will stop flashing and remain
lit.
To deactivate the PTY Standby Reception,
select “OFF” for the PTY code (see page 17).
The PTY indicator goes off.
Tracking the same programme—
Network-Tracking Reception
When driving in an area where FM reception
is not sufficient enough, this unit automatically
tunes in to another FM RDS station of the
same network, possibly broadcasting the same
programme with stronger signals.
When shipped from the factory, Network-
Tracking Reception is activated.
To change the Network-Tracking Reception
setting, see “AF-REG” on page 17.

CR2025 or its equivalent; otherwise, it
may explode.
• Store the battery in a place where children
cannot reach to avoid risk of accident.
• To prevent the battery from over-heating,
cracking, or starting a fire:
– Do not recharge, short, disassemble, or
heat the battery or dispose of it in a fire.
– Do not leave the battery with other
metallic materials.
– Do not poke the battery with tweezers or
similar tools.
– Wrap the battery with tape and insulate
when throwing away or saving it.

Maintenance
How to clean the connectors
Frequent detachment will deteriorate the
connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to
damage the connectors.
Connector
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
CD player in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the CD player may
malfunction. In this case, eject the disc and
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the
moisture evaporates.
How to handle discs
When removing a disc from
its case, press down the center
holder of the case and lift the
disc out, holding it by the
edges.
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not
touch its recording surface.
When storing a disc into its case, gently insert
the disc around the center holder (with the
printed surface facing up).
• Make sure to store discs into the cases after
use.
To keep discs clean
A dirty disc may not play correctly.
If a disc does become dirty, wipe
it with a soft cloth in a straight line
from center to edge.
• Do not use any solvent (for
example, conventional record cleaner, spray,
thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean discs.
To play new discs
New discs may have some rough
spots around the inner and outer
edges. If such a disc is used, this
unit may reject the disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges
with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

More about this unit
Basic operations
Turning on the power
• By pressing CD or FM/AM on the unit, you
can also turn on the power.
Turning off the power
• If you turn off the power while listening to a
disc, disc play will start from where playback
has been stopped previously, next time you
turn on the power.
Tuner operations
Storing stations in memory
• During SSM search...
– All previously stored stations are erased and
stations are stored newly.
– Received stations are preset in No. 1 (lowest
frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).
– When SSM is over, the station stored in
No. 1 will be automatically tuned in.
• When storing a station manually, a previously
preset station is erased when a new station is
stored in the same preset number.
FM RDS operations
• Network-Tracking Reception requires two
types of RDS signals—PI (Programme
Identification) and AF (Alternative
Frequency) to work correctly. Without
receiving these data correctly, Network-
Tracking Reception will not operate.
• If a Traffic Announcement is received, the
volume level (TA Volume) automatically
changes to the preset level.
Disc operations
Caution for DualDisc playback
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does
not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital
Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-
DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may
not be recommended.
General
• This unit has been designed to reproduce
CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/
CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA),
MP3 and WMA format.
• When a disc has been loaded, selecting “CD”
for the playback source starts disc play.
Inserting a disc
• When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc
automatically ejects.
• Do not insert 8 cm discs (single CD) and
unusual shape discs (heart, flower, etc.) into
the loading slot.
Playing a disc
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3
or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent
sounds.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can play back only the files of the
same type which is first detected if a disc
includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and
MP3/WMA files.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs;
however, unclosed sessions will be skipped
while playing.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play
back on this unit because of their disc
characteristics, and for the following causes:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation occurs on the lens
inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are
written with “Packet Write” method.
– There are improper recording conditions
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions
(stain, scratch, warp, etc.).
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower
than that of regular CDs.
