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.

when the radio is packed in a suitcase. To release the Lock switch
move the switch to the "unlocked position", the keylock symbol
will be removed from the display.
Standby display
When your radio is in standby mode the time and date will be dis-
played and the radio will check all available DAB stations for EPG
information.

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.
