Receiving FM Stations with Radio Data System

Radio Data System allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals.

With the System, you can receive the following types of Radio Data System signals.

PS (Program Service):	Shows commonly known
PTY (Program Type):	station names.
	Shows types of broadcast
RT (Radio Text):	programs.
	Shows text messages the
	station sends.

NOTE:

If you want to know more about Radio Data System, visit <http://www.rds.org.uk>.

Searching for Programs by PTY Codes (PTY Search)

You can locate a particular kind of program from the preset stations (see the left column) by specifying the PTY codes.

1Press to enter the PTY code setting mode.

The PTY code and “SELECT” appear alternately.

2Select a PTY code.

or

3The System searches for 30 preset FM stations, stops when it finds the one

you have selected, and tunes in to that station.

•To stop searching, press PTY SEARCH.

•To continue searching after it stops on an unwanted station, press PTY SEARCH while the indications on the display are flashing.

NOTE:

If no program is found, “NOTFOUND” appears.

1 Turn the volume to minimum.

2Press to select “AUDIO IN.”

3Start playing the connected equipment.

4 Adjust the volume.

To Preset the Audio Input Level

If the sound from the equipment connected to the AUDIO IN jack is too loud or too quiet, you can change the audio input level through the AUDIO IN jack (without changing the volume level).

Press repeatedly to select the level as follows:

Basic and Common Operations (see page 3)

•Pressing one of the source buttons also turns on the System and starts playing back if the source is ready or connected.

•You cannot use the Sound Mode and Sound Turbo at the same time.

Playing Back a Disc/USB Mass Storage Class Device

(see page 4)

•This System cannot play “packet write” discs.

•For MP3/WMA playback...

–In this manual, “file” and “track” are interchangeably used.

–This System can show the Tag data (Version 1).

–MP3/WMA discs are required a longer readout time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/ file configuration.)

–Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will be skipped. This result from their recording processes and conditions.

–When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2 for the disc format.

–This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

–It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This System cannot play back files made at a bit rate of less than 64 kbps.

–Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different from the one you have intended while recording. If a folder (group) does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are ignored.

•Do not use the following USB mass storage class devices...

–Whose rating is other than 5 V and exceeds 500 mA.

–Equipped with special functions such as data security functions.

–Divided by 2 or more partitions.

•For the USB mass storage class device playback...

–When connecting a USB mass storage class device, also refer to its manual.

–Connect one USB mass storage class device to the System at a time. Do not use a USB hub.

–This System is compatible with USB 2.0 Full Speed.

–You can play back MP3/WMA files in a USB mass storage class device (maximum data transfer rate: 2 Mbps).

–You cannot play back a file larger than 2 Gigabytes.

–This System may not play back some USB mass storage class devices and does not support DRM (Digital Rights Management).

•This System can recognize up to 255 groups in a disc. The total number of groups and tracks (in a disc) that can be recognized by the System is 512 (for MP3/WMA).

•This System can recognize up to 99 groups and 999 tracks (with a maximum number of 255 tracks in a group) in a USB mass storage class device.

Setting the Clock and Using Timers (see page 6)

•You cannot set the clock and Daily Timer while the ECO (Ecology) Mode is activated.

•The clock may gain or lose 1 to 2 minutes per month. If this happens, adjust the clock.

•When you unplug the AC power cord or if a power failure occurs, the clock and the timer will be canceled. You need to set the clock first, then the timer again.

Timer Priority:

•If you activate the Sleep Timer after Daily Timer starts playing the selected source, Daily Timer is canceled.

If you are having a problem with your System, check this list for a possible solution before calling for service.

•Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge while pressing the center hole lightly.

•Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.

•Put the disc back in its case after use.

•Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when placing it back in its case.

•Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

To clean the disc:

•Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

Cleaning the System

•Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

“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!

•Do not vibrate the System while recording tracks. It may damage the recorded tracks.

5	DEL NO:	Cancel erasure.
	or	Continue erasure.
	DEL YES:
