Using an SD memory card with your radio  
An SD card can be used in your radio for recording, playing back  
previously recorded radio programs, or playing back MP2/MP3/WMA  
files transferred from a PC.  
Depending on the radio station a 512MB SD card will give typically  
8 - 16 hours of recording time. If you are using a new SD card ensure  
that it is formatted correctly (see page 28)  
Many different brands and capacities of SD card are available. Your  
RD-41 can use cards up to 2 GB. However, there are many different  
card variants available and not all cards can be guaranteed to work  
in the RD-41. In this application there is no performance benefit in  
using high-speed cards. Note that the RD-41 is not compatible with  
very high capacity cards using the SDHC standard.  
Inserting and removing a card  
To insert an SD card into your radio carefully push the card into the  
SD card slot until it clicks. The card must be inserted gold contacts  
first and with the label side to the rear of the radio. The SD card slot  
is on the top left side of your radio.  
To remove the card push the card in slightly and the eject mechanism  
will lift it slightly allowing easy removal.  
Note: The SD card should not be removed during a recording as  
damage or corruption of files on the card may occur.

Connecting to an external amplifier or recorder  
Your radio has a line-level audio output which you can use to connect your  
radio to an external amplifier or recorder. This may be a stand-alone unit  
or it may be part of your existing hi-fi system.  
A signal is available from the line output whenever the radio is able to  
play from the loudspeaker or headphones, regardless of the volume  
control setting on the radio.  
Recording from your radio  
Your radio has twelve alarm timers which can be set to switch on your radio  
at a preset time and day, tuned to a particular station. See theAlarms section  
for details on how to set timers (page 43).  
Note: The timer record function is for personal use only. Your radio is unable  
to start and stop recordings made by external devices.  
Headphone socket  
1. A 3.5mm Headphone Socket located on the rear of your radio is  
provided for use with either headphones or an earpiece. Inserting  
a plug automatically mutes the internal loudspeaker.  
2. When in use, the headphone symbol  
appears in the display.  
IMPORTANT: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and head-  
phones can cause hearing loss.

Auxiliary input  
Your radio has an auxiliary (line-level) audio input which you can use  
to allow your radio to be used as an external amplifier for MP3 players,  
compact disc players and similar devices.  
Simply connect the external audio source to the radio's line input  
socket (on the back of the radio) using a 3.5mm stereo plug. When  
the plug is inserted the radio display will automatically be blanked.  
Use the volume and bass and treble controls on your radio to adjust  
the sound level as needed. Note that you may also need to set the  
output level on your external device to a higher level than used for  
normal listening.

USB connection  
Your radio has a USB connection to connect your PC. The usb can be  
used to copy files to and from your SD card and also for any software  
updates available.  
When the USB connection is used to link your radio to your PC the SD  
card should appear as a removable disk drive. Radio recordings are  
held in a folder called "RADIO". MP3 and WMA files may be stored  
in other folders which you may create.  
If your PC already has an SD card reader, you will find that file transfer  
is faster when using this than when using the USB connection to  
your radio.  
Your radio uses the FAT 16 format for storing files on the SD card.
