How This Manual Is Organized

In this manual we have incorporated some special features:

???Basic information that is the same for many different functions is grouped in one place, and not repeated in each procedure. For instance, in the section on playing a CD, we do not repeat the information about setting the volume and the sound conditions, which are discussed in the Common Operations section.

???Name of buttons and controls are written in all capital letters like this: SOUND MODE.

The manual has a table of contents to help you quickly look up what you want to know.

We???ve enjoyed making this manual for you, and hope you will use it to enjoy the sound and many features built into your System.

Receiving FM Stations with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows the FM stations to send additional signals along with their regular programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names and information about what type of programme they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the station frequency (and then the station name if sent) is displayed.

One convenient RDS service is ???Enhanced Other Networks (EON)???. This allows the Unit to automati- cally switch to a programme type of your choice when one starts in your broadcast area.

Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do all RDS stations provide the same services. If in doubt, check with local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.

RDS may not work correctly if the station to which you are tuned is not transmitting properly or if the signal strength is weak.

What Information RDS can Provide ????????????????????????????????????

The System can use the following RDS service.

PS (Programme Service name)

Identifies each station by a name.

TA (Traffic Announcement Identification)

Identifies that a traffic announcement is being broadcast in your area.

RT (Radio Text)

Allows the RDS station to send text messages that appear on the display of the unit.

PTY (Programme Type)

Identifies the type of RDS programme. This allows you to locate a specific type of programme being broadcast.

The programme types are as follows:

EON (Enhanced Other Networks)

Provides information available on RDS stations other than the one which is being received.

Changing the Display ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

You can see RDS information on the display while listening to a FM station.

To view RDS information on the display, press DISPLAY MODE. (When using the Remote Control, press 6 DISPLAY MODE after pressing RDS CONTROL).

Each time you press the button, the display changes to show the following information:

3.Press PTY/EON again.

??? When using the Remote Control, press 3 PTY/EON.

While the search function is running, the selected programme type and ???SEARCH??? alternate on the display.

Once the station which is broadcasting the selected PTY (Programme Type) is located, searching will stop. Then the station name (if PS code is being sent) will be indicated and the broadcast will commence. The indication will stay flashing for 10 seconds from the end of the searching function. If you press PTY/EON again during this period, search for the same PTY (Programme Type) will restart.

If a station broadcasting a selected PTY( Program Type) cannot be found, ???NOTFOUND??? appears on the display after the Unit has searched through the preset numbers. The Unit will return to the station to which it was tuned prior to the start of the PTY Search.

To cancel a PTY Search operation, press PTY/EON . (When using the Remote Control, press 3 PTY/EON.)

Things to Know before You Start Recording ?????????????????????

It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set Reverse mode on to do so. However, recording automatically stops after recording in the 2direction in Reverse mode. Therefore, make sure that the tape direction is 3when recording with Reverse mode on.

The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by volume control. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure or re-recording. To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover the holes with adhesive tape first.

However, when a Type II tape is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part of the hole is used to detect the tape type.

When recording, you can hear Sound Mode effects through the speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without Sound Mode effects.

Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording.

Note: At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Depend- ing on the recording source, the first part of the recording may be missing because of the leader. When recording CDs or radio broadcasts, to get the beginning of the recording on the tape, first wind on the leader before beginning recording.

Setting the Sleep Timer

Use the Sleep Timer to turn the Unit off after a certain number of minutes when it is playing. By setting this timer, you can fall asleep to music and know your Unit will turn off by itself rather than play all night.

You can only set the Sleep Timer when the Unit is on and a source is playing.

To set the SLEEP Timer, follow this procedure:

1.With the Unit on and a source playing, press SLEEP on the Remote Control.

???SLEEP??? appears on the display.

2.Set the length of time you want the source to play before shutting off.

???Each time you press this button while the ???SLEEP??? indicator is flashing, it changes the number of minutes shown on the display in this sequence:

=10 =20 =30 =60 =90 =120 =Cancelled =(back to the beginning)

When the number of minutes you want shows on the display, just wait 5 seconds until the indicator stops flashing, and remains lit.

The Unit is now set to turn off after the number of minutes you set.

To change the Sleep Timer setting

Press SLEEP until the number of minutes you want appears on the display.

To cancel the Sleep Timer setting

Press SLEEP until the SLEEP indicator goes out on the display.

Turning off the Unit also cancels the Sleep Timer.

Timer Priority

Since each timer can be set independently, you may wonder what happens if the settings overlap. Here are the priorities for each timer:

The Recording Timer always has priority. This means that:

???If another timer is set to come on during a time when the Recording Timer is operating, the other timer just will not come on at all, so you will always get the entire program on tape.

???If the Recording Timer is set to come on while another timer is operating, the other timer will shut off 10 seconds before the Recording Timer is set to turn on, and the Recording Timer will then take

over.

If the Sleep Timer is set while the Daily Timer is operating, the Sleep Timer will take over. However, if the Daily Timer is set to come while the Sleep Timer is operating, the Daily Timer will take over.
