Handling Mini discs

The marking of products using lasers

(Except for some areas)

• The MD shutter is designed so that it cannot

be opened. If forced open, the cartridge will

be damaged and use of the MD will no

longer be possible. If the shutter has been

opened due to some cause, be careful not to

touch the recording portion with a finger.

Doing so will cause the sound to skip.

CLASS 1

LASER PRODUCT

The label is attached to the chassis/case and

says that the component uses laser beams

that have been classified as Class 1. It

means that the unit is utilizing laser beams

that are of a weaker class. There is no

danger of hazardous radiation outside the

unit.

• Do not use an MD that has a peeling label.

Use of an MD that has a loose or peeling

label may cause problems, such as the label

coming off inside the player and the

resultant inability to eject the MD.

• Wipe away dirt or dust from the cartridge

surface with a dry cloth before use. Using an

oil-soiled cartridge in particular may result in

the disc not loading or being unable to eject

it. (At time of cleaning, be careful not to

open the shutter.)

• Do not leave the MD in the unit for a

prolonged period. The ejected MD should be

placed in an MD case for storage.

• Do not leave the MD in a place exposed to

direct sunlight (such as on a instrument

panel) or in other places that reach high

temperatures. The MD cartridge will become

misshapen and will no longer be usable.

• MDs designed for use with data cannot be

used. Please use MDs designed for music.

• Do not use lens cleaners. Doing so will lead

to breakdown.

RDS (Radio Data System)

Traffic Information Function

You can listen to traffic information. If you are listening to

tapes or discs, they will continue playing until a traffic bulletin

is broadcast.

RDS is a digital information system that lets you receive

signals besides those of regular radio programmes, such as

network information being transmitted from radio stations.

When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station with RDS

capability), the programme service name of the station is

displayed along with the frequency, advising you quickly which

station is being received.

RDS (Radio Data System) stations also transmit frequency data

for the same station. When you are making long trips, this

function automatically switches to the particular frequency

with the best reception for the particular network of stations

that you want to listen to. The data is automatically stored,

allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS stations,

broadcasting the same programme, that has better reception.

These include stations stored in the station preset memory that

you often listen to.

Turning TI function On/Off:

Press the TI button to turn the function on and off.

When the function is on, the TI indicator is turned on.

When none is being received, the TI indicator will blink on and

off. When a traffic information station is being received, the TI

indicator will turn on.

When a traffic bulletin begins to be broadcast, "TRAFFIC INFO"

will be displayed, and reception will begin at the preset

volume.

If you are listening to a tape or disc when a traffic bulletin

begins, they will automatically be turned off. When the bulletin

ends or poor reception is experienced, the tape or disc will

begin playing again.

NOTE

Pressing the TI button whilst in the MW/LW band automatically

switches reception to the FM band. However, the MW/LW band

is not returned to when the TI button is pressed again.

Enhanced Other Network

Stations that offer <Enhanced Other Network> also transmit

information about other RDS stations that have traffic

information. When you are tuned to a station that is not

transmitting traffic information, but another RDS station starts

transmitting a traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically switches

to the other station for the duration of the bulletin.

Switching to a Different Traffic Information Station:

Use the 4 / ¢ buttons to make an auto seek of the TI

stations in a certain band.

NOTE

• When you are listening to a tape or disc, you cannot change to

another TI station.

• When the auto TP seek function is turned on and reception

starts to weaken, the tuner automatically seeks traffic

information stations with better reception.

• If you are tuned to a station that is not a traffic information

station itself but which provides <Enhanced Other Network>

services, you can still have traffic information received.

• Holding the TI button down for one second or more when the

TI function is on in the disc control mode results in a change to

the frequency display of the traffic information station for five

seconds.

Alarm

When an emergency transmission (announcing disasters, etc.)

is sent, all current functions are interrupted to allow the

warning to be received.
