RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along

with their regular program signals. For example, the

stations send their station names, as well as information

about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports

or music, etc.

Changing the RDS Information

You can see RDS information on the display while

listening to an FM station.

• RDS operations are possible only using the remote

1^control.

Press RDS CONTROL.

When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS

service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.

Press DISPLAY.

• Each time you press the button, the display changes

to show the following information:

With the unit, you can receive the following types of RDS

signals.

PTY

(Radio Text)

PS (Program Service):

All information (PS/PTY/RT)

PTY (Program Type):

Shows types of broadcast programs.

RT (Radio Text):

Shows text messages the station sends.

“NO PS,” “NO PTY” or NO RT” appears in the main display.

EON (Enhanced Other Networks):

Provides the information about the types of the

programs sent by other RDS stations than the one

being received.

If the unit takes time to show the RDS information

received from a station

“WAIT PS”, “WAIT PTY”, or “WAIT RT” may appear on the

display.

More about RDS

• Not all FM stations provide RDS signals, nor do all RDS

stations provide the same services. If in doubt, check with local

radio stations for details on RDS in your area.

• RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not

transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is

weak.

Searching for Programs by PTY Codes (PTY

Search)

Switching to a Program Type of Your Choice

• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the

setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1

again.

The EON function allows the unit to switch temporarily to

a broadcast program of your choice (NEWS, TA, and/or

INFO) from a different station except when you are

listening to a non-RDS stations – some FM stations and

AM (MW/LW) stations.

• The EON indicator lights while receiving a station with

How the EON function actually works:

More about the EON function

EON data sent from some stations may not be compatible with

this unit.

CASE 1

•

If there is no station broadcasting the program you

have selected

While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, the

station does not change even if another network station starts

broadcasting a program of the same EON data.

While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, you

can only use the EON and DISPLAY buttons as the tuner

operation buttons.

If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned

by the EON function and the currently tuned station

(“WAITING” flashes in the main display), press EON to cancel

the EON function.

If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is

received finally, and the indication of the EON data type

flashing on the display disappears.

While receiving a station with the EON code (the EON indicator

lights on the display window), you cannot erase a preset station.

The unit continues tuning in the current station.

•

When a station starts broadcasting the program you

have selected, the unit automatically switches to the

station. The indicator of received PTY code starts

flashing.

•

When the program is over, “EON END” appears in the

main display, and the unit goes back to the previously

tuned station, but the EON function still remains

activated.

CASE 2

If there is a station broadcasting the program you

have selected

The unit tunes in the program. The indicator of received

PTY code starts flashing.

When the program is over, “EON END” appears in the

main display, and the unit goes back to the previously

tuned station, but the EON function still remains

activated.

CASE 3

If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting

the program you have selected

The unit continues to receive the station but the

indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.

When the program is over, the indicator of received

PTY code stops flashing and remains lit, but the EON

function still remains activated.

Recording onto an MD

Things to Know Before You Start Recording

• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the

• When you record onto partially recorded MD, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The recording starts from

the point following the last recorded track of the MD.

If you want to record on such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see “ALL ERASE

Function” on page 37).

• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control. Thus, during

recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

• While recording, you can hear sound modes and/or the active bass extension effect through the speakers or

headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see page 12).

To avoid erasing important recordings

About the track marks

Recordable MDs have an erasure prevention tab so that

Maintenance

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

Handling MDs

General Notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping

your CDs, MDs and the mechanism clean.

• Do not open the shutter.

- The shutter is locked so that it

will not open. Trying to force it

open will break the MD. If the

shutter opens accidentally, close

it again quickly without

•

Store CDs and MDs in their cases, and keep them in

cabinets or on shelves.

•

Keep the CD disc compartment, and the MD loading

slot cover closed when not in use.

touching the MD inside.

• Do not place MDs in the follow-

ing places:

Handling CDs

- High temperature areas such as

in direct sunlight or inside a

car.

- High humidity areas, e.g. in a

bathroom.

• Remove the CD 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 CD.

- On a beach or sandy area.

• Put the CD back in its case after

use to prevent warping.

• Clean MDs regularly.

- If dust or dirt gets on cartridge, wipe it off with a soft

dry cloth.

• Be careful not to scratch the

surface of the CD when placing it

back in its case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,

temperature extremes, and

moisture.

To clean the CD

Wipe the CD with a soft cloth in a

straight line from center to edge.

DO NOT use any solvent — such as conventional

record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine — to clean

the CD.

Additional Information

MD Disc Types

There are two types of MDs: Premastered (prerecorded) and Recordable (blank).

Premastered MDs

Premastered MDs, which have been recorded at music studio, can be played back like regular CDs. On an MD of this type,

data is recorded as the presence or absence of tiny pits. A laser beam focuses on the pits on the surface of the MD and

reflects the detection back to the lens in the MD recorder. The MD recorder then decodes the signals and plays them back as

music. This type of MD is called an “optical disc.”

Recordable MDs

Recordable MDs, which use magneto-optical technology, can be recorded and played back repeatedly. The laser inside the

MD recorder applies heat to the MD, demagnetizing the magnetic layer of the MD for recording and playback. This type of

MD is called an “magnetic-optical disc.”

ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding)

The MD provides 74 minutes recording and playback time, the same as an audio CD, but in a diameter of only 64 mm. This

ability to store such a large amount of data is the result of ATRAC, an audio compression technique developed for MD. This

technology cuts out faint sounds that would not be heard by the human beings. This technology, based on human sensitivity

to sounds, reduces recorded data volume up to about one-fifth of that of the original data.

UTOC (User Table Of Contents)

Found only on recordable MDs, this area contains sub-data (track number, recording data, etc.) which can be rewritten by

the user.

UTOC enables us to search tracks quickly and edit tracks on the MD.

3:12

4:15

6:05

Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)

The MD recorder integrated to this unit uses the Serial Copy Management System which allows only first-generation digital

copies to be made of premastered software (like CDs or prerecorded MDs).

Sound Skip Guard Memory

The biggest weakness of discs is their susceptibility to vibration. The “Sound Skip Guard Memory” has been developed to

cope with this weakness.

With this function, a few seconds of signals read by the optical read head from the disc are first stored in memory before

being reproduced as audio signals. Thus, even when vibration or shock interrupts signals being read, these stored signals

can continue to reproduce sounds for the few seconds. Thus, the user will enjoy uninterrupted music.

When “vibrated”....

Normally....

MD limitations

The MD records data in an original format that differs from that of conventional cassette tapes or DATs. Since there are

some limitations with this recording format, the following types of symptoms may occur. These symptoms are not

malfunctions.

Cause

Symptoms

There is a maximum number of tracks which can be

recorded, regardless of recording time. More than 254

tracks cannot be recorded on an MD.

“DISC FULL” appears, even though there is still enough

remaining time on an MD.

• Repeating erasure and recording on the same MD creates

many blank portions sparsely on the MD. When record-

ing on such an MD, a track is recorded on these blank

portions sparsely. If a track is divided and recorded into

so many portions, “DISC FULL” appears.

“DISC FULL” appears even though the number of tracks

and recording time do not reach the limit.

The JOIN function sometimes does not work.

• If a divided portion of less than 8 seconds is made while

a track is recorded on the MD, that track cannot be

joined to another track using the JOIN function. Further-

more, if that track is erased, the remaining time of the

MD may not increase exactly by the erased amount.

• If a track has been divided into many portions while

being recorded on the MD, sounds will drop out while

fast forwarding or reversing such an MD.

The remaining time on the MD does not increase even

when tracks are erased.

The sound drops out during fast forward or fast rewind.

You cannot record on a blank portion of less than 2 seconds

in the MD. For this reason, the actual recording time of

discs may become shorter.

The amount of recorded time on the MD added to the

amount of remaining time is shorter than the MD’s total

possible recording time.
