Storing stations in memory
You can use one of the following two methods to
store broadcasting stations in memory.
• Automatic preset of FM stations: SSM (Strong-
station Sequential Memory)
• Manual preset of both FM and AM stations
FM station automatic preset: SSM
You can preset 6 local FM stations in each FM
band (FM1, FM2, and FM3).
1 Select the FM band (FM1 –3) you
want to store FM stations into.
2 Press and hold both buttons for
more than 2 seconds.
Local FM stations with the strongest signals are
searched and stored automatically in the band
number you have selected (FM1, FM2, or FM3).
These stations are preset in the number
buttons—No.1 (lowest frequency) to No.6
(highest frequency).
When automatic preset is over, the station stored
in number button 1 will be automatically tuned in.
“- -SSM- -” appears, then disappears
when automatic preset is over.
SSM
3 Tune in to a station you want while
“M”(manual) is flashing.
• If you release your finger from the button,
the manual mode will automatically turns
off after 5 seconds.
• If you hold down the button, the frequency
keeps changing (in 50 kHz intervals for FM
and 9 kHz intervals for AM—MW/LW) until
you release the button.
When an FM stereo broadcast is hard to
receive:
1Press MODE to enter the
functions mode while listening
to an FM stereo broadcast.
2Press MO (monaural), while
still in the functions mode, so
that the MO indicator lights up
on the display.
Each time you press the
button, the MO indicator lights
up and goes off alternately.
When the MO indicator is lit on the display, the
sound you hear becomes monaural but the
reception will be improved.

RDS OPERATIONS
What you can do with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to
send an additional signal along with their regular
programme signals. For example, the stations
send their station names, as well as information
about what type of programme they broadcast,
such as sports or music, etc.
Another advantage of RDS function is called
“Enhanced Other Networks.” By using the
Enhanced Other Networks data sent from a
station, you can tune in to a different station of a
different network broadcasting your favorite
programme or traffic announcement while
listening to another programme or to another
source such as CD.
By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the
following:
• Tracing the same programme automatically
(Network-Tracking Reception)
• Standby Reception of TA (Traffic
Announcement) or your favorite programme
• PTY (Programme Type) search
• Programme search
• And some other functions
Tracing the same programme
automatically (Network-Tracking
Reception)
When driving in an area where FM reception is
not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically
tunes in to another RDS station, broadcasting
the same programme with stronger signals. So,
you can continue to listen to the same
programme in its finest reception, no matter
where you drive. (See the illustration on page
16.)
Two types of the RDS data are used to make
Network-Tracking Reception work correctly—PI
(Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative
Frequency).
Without receiving these data correctly from the
RDS station you are listening to, Network-
Tracking Reception will not operate.
To use Network-Tracking Reception
You can select the different modes of network-
tracking reception to continue listening to the
same programme in its finest reception.
When shipped from the factory, “AF” is selected.
• AF: Network-Tracking Reception is
activated with Regionalization set to
“off.”
With this setting, the unit switches to
another station within the same
network when the receiving signals
from the current station become
weak. (In this mode, the programme
may differ from the one currently
received.)
The AF indicator lights up but the
REG indicator does not.
• AF REG: Network-Tracking Reception is
activated with Regionalization set to
“on.”
With this setting, the unit switches to
another station, within the same
network, broadcasting the same
programme when the receiving
signals from the current station
become weak.
Both the AF indicator and the REG
indicators light up.
• OFF: Network-Tracking Reception is
deactivated.
Neither the AF indicator nor the REG
indicator lights up.

Using TA Standby Reception
TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch
temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from
the current source (another FM station or CD).
• TA Standby Reception will not work if you are
listening to an AM station.
Press TP/PTY to activate TA Standby Reception.
7When the current source is FM, the TP
indicator either lights up or flashes.
•If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby
Reception is activated.
If a station starts broadcasting a traffic
announcement, “TRAFFIC” appears on the
display, and this unit automatically tunes in to
the station. The volume changes to the
preset TA volume level (see page 15) and the
traffic announcement can be heard.
•If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby
Reception is not yet activated since the
station being received does not provide the
signals used for TA Standby Reception.
To activate TA Standby Reception, you need
to tune in to another station providing these
signals.
Press ¢or 4to search for such
a station.
When a station providing these signals is
tuned in, the TP indicator stops flashing and
remains lit. Now TA Standby Reception is
activated.
7When the current source is other than FM,
the TP indicator lights up.
If a station starts broadcasting a traffic
announcement, “TRAFFIC” appears on the
display, and this unit automatically changes the
source and tunes in to the station.
To deactivate the TA Standby Reception,

tunes in to the station.
•If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby
Reception is not yet activated since the

Playing a CD
Insert a CD into the loading slot.
The unit turns on,
draws the CD and
starts playback
automatically.
Note on One-Touch Operation:
When a CD is already in the loading slot, pressing
CD turns on the unit and starts playback
automatically.
CD OPERATIONS
All tracks will be played repeatedly until you stop
playback.
Note:
When a CD is inserted upside down, “EJECT” appears
on the display and the CD automatically ejects.
To stop play and eject the CD
Press 0.
CD play stops and the CD automatically ejects
from the loading slot. The source changes to the
tuner (you will hear the last received station).
• If you change the source, CD play also stops
(without ejecting the CD).
Next time you select “CD” as the source, CD
play starts from where playback has been
stopped previously.
Notes:
• If the ejected CD is not removed for about 15
seconds, the CD is automatically inserted again
into the loading slot to protect it from dust.
(CD play will not start this time.)
• You can eject the CD even when the unit is turned
off.
About mistracking:
Mistracking may result from driving on extremely
rough roads. This does not damage the unit and
the CD, but will be annoying.
We recommend that you stop CD play while
driving on such rough roads.
The CD–in indicator lights up.
