COMPACT  
COMPACT  
a disc carrying the  
marking on the label surface.  
DIGITAL AUDIO  
DIGITAL AUDIO  
Label side  
Playing side  
Never play a cracked or warped disc  
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player.  
Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a cracked or deformed disc  
or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent.  
Please do not use discs which are not round because they may  
cause a malfunction.  
Sticker  
Do not attach paper or tape to either  
the playing side or the label side of the

Disc accessories  
Cleaning  
The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protection ring,  
etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound quality or pro-  
tecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should not be used with  
this system because they may cause malfunction.  
If fingerprints or foreign matter become  
attached to the disc, lightly wipe the disc  
with a soft cotton cloth (or similar) from  
the center of the disc outwards in a radial  
manner.  
Storage  
When a disc is not to be played for a  
long period of time, remove it from the  
player and store it in its case.  
Notes on cassette tape  
Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)  
After an important recording has been finished, break the  
safety tab, to prevent the recorded contents from being  
erased or recorded on accidentally.  
To store cassette tapes  
Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to  
direct sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat.  
Keep the cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.  
For A side  
For B side  
When there is slack in the tape  
In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and wind  
the reel hub to remove the slack.  
Apply tape only to the position where  
the tab has been removed.  
To re-record  
1.Cassette tapes that are longer than 100 minutes  
Since tapes that are longer than 100 minutes are very thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be easily  
cut. It is recommended that these tapes not be used with this unit to prevent possible damage.

R.D.S.  
RDS is a system which transmits useful informa-  
tion (digital data) for FM broadcasts together  
with the broadcast signal. Tuners and receivers  
designed for RDS reception can extract the in-  
formation from the broadcast signal for use with  
various functions such as automatic display of  
the station name.  
This unit is equipped with the following functions utilizing RDS data:  
PTY (Program TYpe) Search :  
°
The “RDS” indicator lights up when an RDS broadcast  
(signal) is received.  
The tuner automatically searches for a station which is currently  
broadcasting a specified program type (genre).  
PS (Program Service) Display : (See below.)  
When an RDS broadcast is received, the station name is  
automatically displayed.  
÷ Some functions may not be provided or be given differ-  
ent names depending on countries or areas.  
Note before the use of RDS  
For reception of RDS stations, the auto presetting function must be used to preset the stations. With the auto  
memory function, RDS stations are preset with priority.
