The following demonstration, introducing the main features equipped for this unit, will appear on the
display automatically if no sound comes in for 3 minutes. (See page 26.)
•24bit DAC : (24 bit digital-analog converter: Gives you a high quality sound after D/A
conversion.)
•HSTUNER : (High-Sensitivity Tuner: Enables a fine reception of stations.)
•EQUALIZER : (Allows you to fine-adjust the sound to match your preference.)
•SUB WOOFER : (ONLY for KD-SH77R: Enables you to connect a subwoofer and to adjust its
output level.)
CAUTION on Volume Setting
CDs produce very little noise compared with other sources. If the volume level is adjusted for the
tuner,forexample, the speakersmay be damagedby thesuddenincrease in the outputlevel.Therefore,
lower the volume before playing a disc and adjust it as required during playback.

• Preset stations are erased when the power supply to
the memory circuit is interrupted (for example,
during battery replacement). If this occurs, preset the
stations again.
Tuning into a preset station
You can easily tune into a preset station.
Remember that you must store stations first. If
you have not stored them yet, see “Storing
stations in memory” on page 9.
1 Select the FM or AM.
1Press SOURCE
repeatedly to select FM or

If the sound quality decreases and the
stereo effect is lost while listening to
an FM station
In some areas, adjacent stations may interfere
with each other. If this interference occurs,
this unit can automatically reduce this
interference noise (the initial setting when
shipped from the factory). However, in this
case, the sound quality will be degraded and
the stereo effect will be also lost.
If you do not want to degrade the sound
quality and to lose the stereo effect, rather
than to eliminate the interference noise, see
“To change the FM tuner selectivity – IF

To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and
holdTP(trafficprogramme)formore than1second.
Each time you press and hold the button, Network-
Tracking Reception modes change as follows:
Mode 1
Network-Tracking Reception is activated with
Regionalization set to “off.”
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.
Mode 2
Network-Tracking Reception is activated with
Regionalization set to “on.”
Switches to another station, within the same
network, broadcasting the same programme
when the receiving signals from the current
station become weak.
Mode 3
Network-Tracking Reception is deactivated.
Note:
If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternative Reception
(for DAB services) is activated, Network-Tracking
Reception is also activated automatically. On the other
hand, Networking-Tracking Reception cannot be
deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception.
(See page 37.)
What you can do with RDS EON
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to
send an additional signal along with their regular
programmesignals.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 “EON
(Enhanced Other Networks).” The EON indicator
lightsup while receiving anFMstationwiththe EON
data. By using the EON data sent from a station,
you can tune into 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
into 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 the next page.)
Two types of the RDS data are used to make
Network-Tracking Reception work correctly — PI
(Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative
Frequency).
Withoutreceiving these datacorrectlyfromtheRDS
station you are listening to, Network-Tracking
Reception will not operate.
