(Radio Data System) (Except for some areas)  
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 :  
The “RDS” indicator lights up when an RDS broad-  
cast (signal) is received.  
PTY (Program Type Identification) Search :   
The tuner automatically searches for a station which is  
currently broadcasting a specified program type (genre).  
PS (Program Service Name) Display :  
When an RDS broadcast is received, the station name is  
automatically displayed.  
÷Some functions may not be provided or be given  
different names depending on countries or ar-  
eas.  
Before using RDS  
For reception of RDS stations, the auto presetting function must be used to preset the stations. With the auto  
presetting function, RDS stations are preset with priority. NO DATA” will be flashed when a station is not  
preset by auto presetting.

DIGITAL AUDIO  
Label side  
Playing side  
Never play a cracked or warped disc  
Sticker  
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.

Cleaning  
If fingerprints or foreign matter be-  
come 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.  
Disc accessories  
The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protec-  
tion ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound  
quality or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should  
not be used with this system because they may cause  
malfunction.  
As the Mini Disc is accommodated inside a cartridge, it can be handled without caring about dust or fingerprint.  
However, stained or soiled cartridge may cause malfunction. To enjoy beautiful sound for extended period of  
time, take care on the following points.  
Do not touch the disc directly.  
Do not touch the disc by opening the shutter with your  
hand. The cartridge will be damaged if it is forced open.
