vibration.  
The ventilation should not be impeded by  
covering the ventilation openings with  
items, such as newspapers, tablecloths,  
curtains, etc.  
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight,  
strong magnetic fields, excessive dust,  
humidity and electronic/electrical equip-  
ment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.)  
which generate electrical noise.  
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be  
placed on the apparatus.  
Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery

from its actual playback time.  
Bitrate which is supported by MP3 is 32 ~ 320 kbps.

Listening to the radio (continued)  
Using the Radio Data System (RDS)  
RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM  
stations provide. These FM stations send additional signals  
along with their regular programme signals. They send their  
station names, and information about the type of programme  
such as sport, music, etc.  
When tuned to an RDS station, "RDS" and the station name will be  
displayed.  
3 Within 10 seconds, press the PRESET ( or ) button to  
select the preset channel number.  
Store the stations in memory, in order, starting with preset  
channel 1.  
4 Within 10 seconds, press the MEMORY/DISP button to  
store that station in memory.  
Using the Auto Station Programme Memory  
MEMORY  
(ASPM)  
Whilst in the ASPM operation mode, the tuner will automatically  
search for new RDS stations. Up to 20 stations can be stored.  
If you have already stored some stations in memory, the number of  
new stations you can store will be less.  
If the "MEMORY" and preset number indicators disappear  
before the station is memorised, repeat the operation from step  
2.

Scanning will start (87.50 - 108.00 MHz).  
When a new station is stored in memory, the station previously  
memorised for that preset channel number will be erased.  
Note:  
When an RDS station is found, "RDS" will appear for a short  
time and the station will be stored in memory.  
The backup function protects the memorised stations for a few  
hours should there be a power failure or the AC power lead become

seconds whilst it is scanning for stations.  
The stations which are already stored in memory will be kept there.  
In a certain area or during certain time periods, the station names  
may temporarily be different.  
Notes:  
If the same station is broadcasting on different frequencies, the  
strongest frequency will be stored in memory.  
Any station which has the same frequency as one stored in  
memory will not be stored.  
If 20 stations have already been stored in memory, the scan will  
be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM operation, erase the  
preset memory.  
Notes for RDS operation  
If any of the following events occur, it does not mean that the  
unit is faulty:  
"PS", "NO PS" and a station name appear alternately, and the unit  
does not operate properly.  
If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a station is  
conducting tests, the RDS reception function may not work  
properly.  
When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too weak,  
information like the station name may not be displayed.  
"NO PS", "NO PTY" or "NO RT" will flash for about 5 seconds, and  
then the frequency will be displayed.  
If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be  
stored in memory.  
To store a station name again if the wrong name was stored in  
memory:  
It may be impossible to store station names in memory using the  
ASPM function if there is lots of noise or if the signal is too weak. In  
this case, perform as follows.  
1 Press the PRESET ( or ) button to check whether the names  
are correct.  
2 If you find a wrong name during receiving the station, wait until the  
correct name will be displayed. And then press the MEMORY/  
DISP button.  
3 Within 30 seconds, press the MEMORY/DISP button whilst the  
preset channel number is flashing.  
The new station name has been stored in memory correctly.  
Notes for radio text:  
The first 7 characters of the radio text will appear for 4 seconds  
and then they will scroll across the display.  
If you tune in to an RDS station which is not broadcasting any  
radio text, "NO RT" will be displayed when you switch to the radio  
text position.  
Whilst radio text data is received or when the text contents  
change, "RT" will be displayed.

Maintenance  
XL-UH4H  
Before transporting the unit  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Remove the CD from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc  
tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the  
unit with disc left inside can damage the unit.  
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap  
solution, then with a dry cloth.  
Caution:  
Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). It  
may damage the cabinet finish.  
Care of compact discs  
Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause  
malfunctions.  
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking  
can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow  
the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD  
collection and player.  
Cleaning the CD pickup lens  
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label  
side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.  
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive  
moisture.  
Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on  
the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does  
not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out  
from the centre, along the radius.  
Poor performance during CD playback (skipping or jumping) can be  
caused by a dirty or contaminated CD laser pick up lens. If this  
happens then the use of a commercially available CD lens cleaning  
discs may restore normal operation. Contact your supplier or local  
CD software dealer to obtain CD lens cleaning discs. Ensure all  
included instructions/documentation are carefully followed.
