Storing stations in memory

You can use one of the following two methods to store broadcasting stations in memory.

???Automatic preset of FM stations: SSM (Strong- station Sequential Memory)

???Manual preset of both FM and AM stations

Local FM stations with the strongest signals are searched and stored automatically in the band number you have selected (FM1, FM2 or FM3).

These stations are preset in the number buttons ???

No.1 (lowest frequency) to No.6 (highest frequency). When automatic preset is over, the station stored in number button 1 will be automatically tuned in.

FM station automatic preset: SSM

You can preset 6 local FM stations in each FM band

(FM1, FM2 and FM3).

1 Select the FM band (FM1 ??? 3) you want to store FM stations into.

KS-FX725R

FM1 FM2 FM3 AM

KS-F525

FM1 FM2 FM3

2 Press and hold both buttons for more than 2 seconds.

Manual preset

You can preset up to 6 stations in each band (FM1, FM2, FM3 and AM) manually.

Ex.: Storing an FM station of 88.3 MHz into the preset number 1 of the FM1 band

1 Select the band (FM1 ??? 3, AM) you want to store stations into (in this example, FM1).

KS-FX725R

FM1 FM2 FM3 AM

KS-F525

2 Tune in to a station (in this example, of 88.3 MHz).

Press ?? to tune in to stations of higher frequencies.

Press 4 to tune in to stations of lower frequencies.

Tuning in to a preset station

You can easily tune in to a preset station.

Remember that you must store stations first. If you have not stored them yet, see ???Storing stations in memory??? on pages 8 and 9.

1 Select the band (FM1 ??? 3, AM).

KS-FX725R

ENGLISH

Notes:

???A previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.

???Preset stations are erased when the power supply to the memory circuit is interrupted (for example, during battery replacement). If this occurs, preset the stations again.

Scanning broadcast stations

(only for KS-F525)

When you press SCAN while listening to the radio, station scanning starts.

If you want to listen to that program, press the same button again to stop scanning.

ENGLISH

This section is only for KS-FX725R.

What you can do with RDS

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

Another advantage of RDS function is called ???Enhanced Other Networks.??? The EON indicator lights up while receiving an FM station with the

Enhanced Other Networks data. By using the Enhanced Other Networks data sent from a station, you can tune in to a different station of a different network broadcasting your favorite programme or traffic announcement while listening to another programme or to another source such as tape.

By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the following:

???Tracing the same programme automatically

(Network-Tracking Reception)

???Standby Reception of TA (Traffic

Announcement) or your favorite programme

???PTY (Programme Type) search

???Programme search

???And some other functions

Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-Tracking Reception)

When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically tunes in to another RDS station, broadcasting the same programme with stronger signals. So, you can continue to listen to the same programme in its finest reception, no matter where you drive. (See the illustration on the next page.)

Two types of the RDS data are used to make

Network-Tracking Reception work correctly ??? PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency).

Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, Network-Tracking Reception will not operate.

To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and hold TP RDS (Traffic Programme/Radio Data System) for more than 1 second. Each time you press and hold the button, Network-Tracking Reception modes change as follows:

Mode 1

The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not.

Network-Tracking Reception is activated with

Regionalization set to ???off.???

Switches to another station within the same network when the receiving signals from the current station become weak.

???In this mode, the programme may differ from the one currently received.

Mode 2

Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up.

Network-Tracking Reception is activated with

Regionalization set to ???on.???

Switches to another station, within the same network, broadcasting the same programme when the receiving signals from the current station become weak.

Mode 3

Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up.

Network-Tracking Reception is deactivated.

The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

Programme 1

PTY Standby Reception

to an FM station, the PTY indicator is lit during reception of a PTY station and the PTY standby mode is engaged. The selected PTY name stored on page 12 flashes for 5 seconds.

ENGLISH

Programme 1 broadcasting

??? When the station being received is not a PTY station, the PTY indicator flashes. Press ?? or 4 to engage the PTY standby mode. ???SEARCH??? appears on the display, and PTY station search starts. When a

PTY station is tuned into, the PTY indicator is lit.

7If you are listening to a tape or other connected components and wish to listen to a selected PTY broadcast, press PTY to enter the PTY standby mode. (The PTY indicator lights up.)

Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favorite programme (PTY:

Programme Type) and Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM station, tape or other connected components).

???Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station.

TA Standby Reception

???When the station being received is not a TP station, the TP indicator flashes. Press ?? or 4 to engage the TA standby mode. ???SEARCH??? appears on the display, and TP station search starts. When a TP station is tuned into, the TP indicator is lit.

7If you are listening to a tape or other connected components and wish to listen to a TP station, press TP RDS to enter the TA standby mode. (The

TP indicator lights up.)

If a traffic programme starts broadcasting while the TA standby mode is active, ???TRAFFIC??? appears and the playback source changes to the FM band. The volume increases to the preset TA volume level (see page 14) and the traffic programme can be heard.

To deactivate the TA standby mode, press TP

RDS again.

If the selected PTY programme starts broadcasting while the PTY standby mode is active, the selected

PTY name appears and the playback source changes to the FM band. The selected PTY programme can then be heard.

To deactivate the PTY standby mode, press PTY

again.
