HANDLING OF DISCS AND TAPES  
Discs which can be played with this unit  
Disc handling precautions  
CD (12 cm, 8 cm) and the audio part of CDV, CD-G,  
CD-EG and CD-EXTRA. Use discs that comply with  
the IEC standard, for example a disc carrying the  
marking on the label surface.  
Handling  
Hold the discs so that you do not  
touch the playing surface.  
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.  
Do not attach paper or tape to ei-  
ther the playing side or the label  
side of the discs.  
Sticker  
Sticky paste  
Cleaning  
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.  
Disc accessories  
The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet,  
protection ring, etc.) which are marketed for improv-  
ing the sound quality or protecting discs as well as  
the disc cleaner should not be used with this sys-  
tem because they may cause malfunction.  
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  
To store cassette tapes  
Safety tab (accidental erasure preven-  
Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject  
to direct sunlight, or near equipment that gener-  
ates heat. Keep the cassette tapes away from  
any magnetic field.  
tion tab)  
After an important recording has been finished,  
break the safety tab, to prevent the recorded con-  
tents from being erased or recorded on accidentally.  
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.  
For A side  
For B side  
To re-record  
Apply tape only to the position where the tab has  
been removed.  
Note :  
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of the unit.  
Do not use a cassette with more than 90 minutes recording time, for the tape used in such a cassette  
is very thin and tends to cause troubles such as engantlement around the pinch roller or cutting of  
tape.

RDS (RADIO DATA SYSTEM) OPERATION (For UK and Europe only)  
RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM station are now providing. It allows these  
FM station to send additional signals along with their regular programme signals. For example, the sta-  
tions 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 provide the RDS service, the RDS will appear, the station frequency  
and then the station name (if sent) is displayed.  
The TP (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when the received broadcast carries traffic an-  
nouncements, and the TA (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic announcement is being re-  
ceived.  
Notes :  
When the TP and TA appear at the same time, an announcement is being made.  
• When only the TA appears, an announcement is not being made.

When the AUTO MEMORY button is pressed, whilst  
turned to the FM band, the RDS function will auto-  
matically search for new RDS stations. Up to 40  
stations can be stored in memory. (If you have al-
