BEFORE USE
* For safety....
• Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will
block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.
• Stop the car before performing any complicated
operations.
* Temperature inside the car....
If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or
cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car
becomes normal before operating the unit.
Note:
For security reasons, a numbered ID card is provided with this unit, and the same ID number is imprinted on
the unit’s chassis. Keep the card in a safe place, as it will help the authorities to identify your unit if stolen.
How to reset your unit
After detaching the control panel, press the reset
button on the panel holder using a ball-point pen
or similar tool.

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
Youcan preset6localFM stationsineach FM band
(FM1, FM2 and FM3).
1 Select the FM band (FM1 – 3) you want
to store FM stations into.
Each time you press the
button, the FM band
changes as follows:
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(lowestfrequency)toNo.6(highestfrequency).
When automatic preset is over, the station stored
in number button 1 will be automatically tuned into.
3 Tune into a station you want while
“MANU” is flashing.
• If you release your finger from the button,
the manual mode will automatically turn 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:
Press MO RND (monaural/random) while
listening to an FM stereo broadcast.
• 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 (the ST indicator
goes off).

RDS OPERATIONS
TP
RDS
Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3
What you can do with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to
send an additional signal along with their regular
programmesignals.Forexample, thestationssend
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
EnhancedOtherNetworks.TheEONindicatorlights
upwhile receiving anFMstation with theEnhanced
OtherNetworksdata.Byusing theEnhanced Other
Networks data sent from a station, you can tune
into a different station of a different network
broadcasting your favourite programme or traffic
announcement while listening to another
programme or to another source such as tape.
By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the
following:
• Tracing the same programme automatically
(Network-Tracking Reception)
• Standby Reception ofTA (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).
Withoutreceivingthesedata correctlyfrom the RDS
station you are listening to, Network-Tracking
Reception will not operate.
To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and
hold TP RDS (Traffic Programme/Radio Data
System) for more than 1 second. Each time you
press and hold the button, Network-Tracking
Reception modes change as follows:
Mode 1
The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator
does not.
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
Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light
up.
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
Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator
lights up.
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, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be
deactivated without deactivating Alternative
Reception. (See page 30.)
