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>.

Changing the Radio Data System Information

Each time you press the button, the information changes as follows:

NOTE:

If no Radio Data System signals are sent by a station, “NO PS,” “NO PTY,” or “NO RT” appears.

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).

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.

•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.

•Prohibiting disc ejection (or canceling it) is not available when the display is turned off (“DISP OFF”) or the ECO Mode is activated (“ECO ON”) (see page 3).

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.

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs and mechanism clean.

Handling discs

•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

• Be sure to reduce the volume on the System to the

minimum level before connecting an iPod. Adjust the

volume after starting playback.

• DO NOT connect or disconnect the iPod when the System

is turned on.

• You cannot send any data to your iPod from the System.

• Do not carry the System with iPod connected. You might

drop the iPod or it might cause damages to the iPod dock.

• Do not touch or hit the iPod terminal pins or connector

pins in the iPod dock directly. It might cause damages to

the connector part.

– 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)

•If incompatible iPod is connected, the iPod may not be operated from the System.

•When an iPod is connected to the System, the battery in the iPod is charged through the iPod terminal (except when the ECO Mode is activated).

•Sound distortion may occur when playing back audio sources with high recording levels. When distortion occurs, it is recommended to turn off the equalizer of the iPod. For information on operating the iPod, see the iPod instruction manual.

• 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.

• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become

damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the

following:

– DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.

– DO NOT wipe it strongly.

– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.

– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides

to it.

– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact
