SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment,
care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of
equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug
when making or changing connections.
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way
—switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended
operation or has a standby mode.
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is
illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws—to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s
approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.
ABOVE ALL
—NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case—this
could result in a fatal electrical shock.
—NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind—it is better to be safe than sorry!

Introduction
About This Manual
This manual is organized as follows:
• The manual mainly explains operations using the
buttons on the remote control.
You can use the buttons both on the remote control and
on the unit for the same operations if they have the
same or similar names (or marks), unless mentioned
otherwise.
• Basic and common information that is the same for many
functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in
each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the
information about turning on/off the unit, setting the
volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which are
explained in the section “Common Operations” on pages 9
and 10.
• The following marks are used in this manual:
Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent
from damage or risk of fire/electric shock.
Also gives you information which is not good
for obtaining the best possible performance
from the unit.
Gives you information and hints you had better
know.
The illustrations used in this manual are of UX-L40R
unless mentioned otherwise.
Precautions
Installation
• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor
too cold—between 5˚C and 35˚C.
• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to
prevent internal heat built-up in the unit.
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid interference
with TV.
DO NOT install the unit in a location near heat
sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight,
excessive dust or vibration.

Before operating this unit, read this manual carefully and thoroughly to
obtain the best possible performance from your unit, and retain this manual
for future reference.
Power sources
• When unplugging from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug, not the AC power cord.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet
hands.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the
following cases:
• After starting heating in the room
• In a damp room
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case,
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in
again.
Others
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the unit and consult your dealer before operating
any further.
• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.

Receiving FM Stations with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an
additional signal along with their regular program signals.
For example, the stations send their station names, as well as
information about what type of program they broadcast, such
as sports or music, etc.
When tuned in to an FM station which provides the RDS
service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.
With the unit, you can receive the following types of RDS
signals.
PS (Program Service):
Shows commonly known station names.
PTY (Program Type):
Shows types of broadcast programs.
RT (Radio Text):
Shows text messages the station sends.
Enhanced Other Networks:
Provides the information about the types of the
programs sent by other RDS stations.
More about RDS
• Some FM stations do not provide RDS signals.
• RDS services vary among FM RDS stations. For details on RDS
services in your area, check with local radio stations.
• RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not
transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is weak.
Changing the RDS Information
You can see RDS information on the display while listening
to an FM station.
On the remote control ONLY:
Press DISPLAY (orange colour).
• Each time you press the button, the display
changes to show the following information:
• If no PS, PTY, or RT signals are sent by a station
“NO PS,” “NO PTY,” or “NO RT” appears on the display.
• On the characters displayed
When the display shows PS, PTY or RT signals:
– The display shows upper case letters only.
– The display cannot show accented letters; For example, “A”
may represent accented “A’s” like “Á, Â, Ã, À, Ä and Å.”
Searching for Programs by PTY Codes
(PTY Search)
One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a
particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes.
• For details on the PTY codes, see “Additional Information”
on page 23.
To search for a program using the PTY codes
REMEMBER you must preset FM RDS stations to use the
PTY codes. If not yet done, see pages 11 and 12.
• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the
setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1
again.
On the remote control ONLY:
1 Press PTY SEARCH.
“PTY” and “SELECT” appear on the display
alternately.
2 Press PTY SELECT + / – until
the PTY code you want appears
on the display.
• Each time you press the buttons, the PTY
codes change as follows:
NONE “NEWS “AFFAIRS “INFO “
SPORT “EDUCATE “DRAMA “
CULTURE “SCIENCE “VARIED “
POP M “ROCK M “EASY M “LIGHT M “
CLASSICS “OTHER M “WEATHER “
FINANCE “CHILDREN “SOCIAL “
RELIGION “PHONE IN “TRAVEL “
LEISURE “JAZZ “COUNTRY “
NATION M “OLDIES “FOLK M “
DOCUMENT “TEST “ALARM “
(back to the beginning)
3 Press PTY SEARCH once again.
While searching, “SEARCH” and the selected
PTY code alternately appear on the display.
The unit searches 30 preset FM stations, stops
when it finds the one you have selected (“FOUND”
appears), and tunes in that station.
• If no program is found, “NOTFOUND” appears on the
display and the unit returns to the last received station.
To stop searching any time during the process, press PTY
SEARCH while searching.
If you preset a station while PTY Search is carried out
PTY Search may not stop. If this happens, press PTY SEARCH to
stop searching manually.
