Safety Precautions
. The design of this product contains special hardware and many circuits and components
specially for safety purposes. For continued protection, no changes should be made to the
original design unless authorized in writing by the manufacturer. Replacement parts must
be identical to those used in the original circuits. Services should be performed by
qualified personnel only.
. Alterations of the design or circuitry of the product should not be made. Any design
alterations of the product should not be made. Any design alterations or additions will
void the manufacturer’s warranty and will further relieve the manufacture of responsibility
for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom.
. Many electrical and mechanical parts in the products have special safety-related
characteristics. These characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection nor can
the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using replacement components
rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety
characteristics are identified in the Parts List of Service Manual. Electrical components
having such features are identified by shading on the schematics and by (A\) on the Parts
List in the Service Manual. The use of a substitute repalcement which does not have the
same safety characteristics as the recommended replacement parts shown in the Parts List of
Service Manual may create shock, fire, or other hazards.
. The leads in the products are routed and dressed with ties, clamps, tubings, barriers and
the like to be separated from live parts, high temperature parts, moving parts and/or sharp
edges for the prevention of electric shock and fire hazard. When service is required, the
original lead routing and dress should be observed, and it should be confirmed that they
have been returned to normal, after re-assembling.
. Leakage currnet check (Electrical shock hazard testing)
After re-assembling the product, always perform an isolation check on the exposed metal
parts of the product (antenna terminals, knobs, metal cabinet, screw heads, headphone jack,
contorl shafts, etc.) to be sure the product is safe to operate without danger of electrical
shock.
Do not use a line isolation transformer during this check.
@ Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Using a “Leakage Current Tester”,
measure the leakage current from each exposed metal parts of the cabinet, particularly
any exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis, to a known good earth
ground. Any leakage current must not exceed 0.5mA AC (r.m.s.).
@ Alternate check method
Plug the AC line cord directly into the AC outlet. Use an AC voltmeter having, 1,000
ohms per volt or more sensitivity in the following manner. Connect a 1,500Q 10 W
resistor paralleled by a 0.15 uF AC-type capacitor between an exposed metal part and a
known good earth ground.
Measure the AC voltage across the resistor
with the AC voltmeter.
Move the resistor connection to each exposed
metal part, particularly any exposed metal part
having a return path to the chassis, and
meausre the AC voltage across the resistor.
Now, reverse the plug in the AC outlet and
AC VOLTMETER

Playing Tapes
If there are 4-second or longer blanks between tracks on recorded tapes, you can use Music Scan to find the beginning of a track.
For simple playback procedures, see page 7.
Current Song
—— >
deck A c> | ~ [ deck 8 < |
deck A<J > [ deck 8 > |
Music Scan (Finding Songs)
To find the beginning of a music track use Music Scan. Music Scan searches for blank portions
that usually separates tracks, then plays the next track.
Finding the Beginning of the Current Song
Press the «#4 or >> button during play.
Make sure you press the «#4 or ® button in the opposite direction to tape play.
Searching stops automatically at the beginning of the current track, and the current track starts
automatically.
Finding the Beginning of the Next Song
Press the <4 or ®& button during play.
Make sure you press the «#¢ or > button in the same direction as tape play.
Searching stops automatically at the beginning of the next track, and the next track starts
automatically.
Notes
+ Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second blank at the beginning of each selection, so it won't
work well if your tape has:
— No blank at the beginning of a track.
~ Noise (often caused by much used or poor quality dubbing) which fills the blank with.
— Long very soft passages or pauses in a track. Music Scan will detect these instead of the 4-
second blanks.
« Music Scan only works on one tape at a time.
~ Ifyou use Music Scan on deck A during recording on deck B, deck B enters recording pause
mode.
— Ifyou start recording on deck B while Music Scan is used on deck A, Music Scan is stopped.
Using the REVERSE MODE Selector
When you play tapes, you can select the side to be played by using the REVERSE MODE selector.
x : only one side is played
2D _: both sides are played
<> : both sides are played repeatedly.
When tapes are in both decks, continuous play follows the sequence diagramed at the
left regardless where playback starts.
The sequence is repeated endlessly.

Receiving FM Stations with RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations are now providing. It
allows these FM stations to send additional signals along with their regular program signals. For
example, the stations send their station names, and information about what type of program they
broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an FM station which provide the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights up, the
station frequency (and then the station name if sent) is displayed.
The TP (Traffic Program) indicator lights up on the display when the received broadcast carries
traffic announcements, and the TA (Traffic Announcement) indicator lights up while a traffic
announcement is being received.
What Information Can RDS Provide
With the XT-G70RBK, you can watch three types of RDS service as well as two other indications
on the display.
To show them on the display, press the DISPLAY MODE button while listening to the radio.
Each time you press the button, the display changes to show the following information:
PS (Program Service): While searching, “PS” appears and then
Station names commonly known will be
displayed. “NO PS” appears if no signal
is sent.
PTY (Program Type): While searching, “PTY” appears and
then types of broadcast programs will be
displayed. ““NOPT Y” appears if nosignal
is sent.
RT (Radio Text): While searching, “RT” appears and then
text messages the station sends will be
displayed. “NO RT” appears if no signal
is sent.

button on the Remote) while listening to the radio.

announcements. However, this does not necessarily mean that you can listen to the
traffic announcements at that time. Rather it means that you will get them when they

service availability, and show them on the display by pressing the DISPLAY MODE button
repeatedly. To do this, you need to preset the stations you want to name into the first ten preset
numbers.

the display.

page G-6.
