Listening to the Radio
+ Electronic Tuner
Frequency allocation differs depending
upon the area. This unit has been designed
in accordance with the frequency alloca-
tions for Western Europe, Asia, the Middle
and Near East, Africa, Australia and
Oceania. Use in other areas may result in
improper reception of AM.
The RDS function does not work in regions
with no RDS broadcast services.
1.Press button [11] to switch the radio
power on.
2.Press button [12] to select a band.
F i--Fe--MW/LW
(FM1) — (FM2)
(MW/LW)
When the frequency is changed with button
(2}, MW (531 — 1,602 kHz) and LW (153 —
281 kHz) are switched automatically.
3.Use seek tuning to tune in a frequency.
Ensure that "MANU" [40] is not indicated
on the display. (When display indications
are lit, press button @ in Bank [14] for 2
seconds or more to switch OFF.) Press ei-
ther the (4) side or the (>) side of button
[2].
When the (>) side is pressed, the tuner will
automatically receive high frequencies.
When the (4) side is pressed, it will auto-
matically receive low frequencies.
4. Adjust volume and tone.
5. Assign the tuned frequency to one of the
buttons in Bank [4] (the buttons in Bank
are also used in FM1) (Preset memo-
ry).
Press and hold down one of the buttons in
Bank [4] (FM1: [4], {14]) for at least 2 sec-
Switching between FM Stereo and
Mono
Generally, it is best to allow the ARC
(Automatic Reception Control) function to
automatically set the optimum listening
conditions. When stereo broadcasting is re-
ceived, "CD" [26] will appear on the display.
When there is a large amount of noise, you
can press button @ in Bank [14] for clearer
mono reception ("MONO" (28] will appear
on the display).
BSM (Best Stations Memory)
This function automatically locates stronger
stations and automatically assigns their fre-
quencies to the buttons in Bank (4] (FM1:
(4], {14)), from strongest to weakest. It
comes in handy when trying to find local
stations while driving.
1.Press button [12] and select a band.
2.Holding down button @ in Bank [14] for
about 2 seconds will start BSM search. At
this time, "BSM" will flash on the display.
3. The frequency display will return once
BSM search is complete, and frequencies
are assigned to buttons © through ©
(FM1:@ through @) in Bank [4] (FM1: [4],
{14)).
At the end of the BSM search, the dis-
played frequency is that assigned to but-
ton @in Bank (4}.
You can cancel BSM search by pressing
button @ in Bank [14] again.
If there are fewer than 6 (FM1: 12) strong
Stations in the area, some of the buttons
in Bank (4] (FMT: [4], [14]) will not be as-
Signed frequencies, so they will retain any
frequencies assigned to them previously.
onds. The frequency is assigned to the se-
lected button when the preset number [27]
stops flashing on the display. Up to 18 FM
stations (12 for FM1 and 6 for FM2), and 6
MW/LW stations can be assigned to the
preset memory buttons in Bank [4] (FM1:
[4], [14]).
6.Once a frequency is assigned to a button
in Bank [4] (FM1: [4], [14]), you just need
to press that button to tune it in.
This also causes the number of the button
pressed to appear at position [27] on the
display.
Function Mode
The buttons in Bank [14] can be used as the
function buttons. Since 12 stations can be
preset for FM1, the function is turned on or
off with button [13]. Since only 6 stations
can be preset for FM2 and MW/LW, the
function is automatically turned on. When
the function is turned on, subsequent oper-
ations can be performed.
Manual Tuning
Use manual tuning when stations are too
weak to be picked up by seek tuning.
1.Turn on "MANU" [40] by holding down
button @ in Bank [14] for 2 seconds or
more.
2.Each press of the (P) side of button [2] in-
creases the frequency in 50 kHz steps in
the FM band, 9 kHz in the MW band and
1 kHz in the LW band.
Pressing the (<4) side of button [2] de-
creases the frequency. Holding down ei-
ther side of button [2] changes the fre-
quency at high speed.
* BSM search may take as long as 30 sec-
onds in areas where there are few strong
stations.
Preset Scan Tuning
This function lets you automatically moni-
tor the stations assigned to the preset but-
tons.
1.Press button @ in Bank [14]. The fre-
quency will appear on the display [38]
and the preset number [27] will blink.
Each station assigned to the buttons in
Bank (4] (FM 1: (4), [14]) will be automati-
cally tuned in for about 8 seconds.
2.When you hear a station that you like,
press button @ in Bank [14] again to can-
cel preset scan tuning and remain at that
station.
Stations stored in memory under the but-
tons [4], [14] but whose signal is weak
will not be recalled.
Using the RDS Function
What is RDS?
RDS (Radio Data System) according to a CEN-
ELEC EN50067 is a system for transmitting
data signals from FM broadcast transmitter
along with the normal sound program. These
data signals, which are imperceptable to lis-
teners, are intended to aid radio listeners in
tuning their receivers to a desired station.
RDS receivers can decode these data signals
for display or control purposes.
RDS digital signal includes various data,
such as Pl, PS, AF, TP, TA, EON and PTY.

Adjusting Seek Sensitivity
The seek tuning function of this tuner lets
you select between a local setting for recep-
tion of strong stations only, and a DX (dis-
tant) setting for reception of weaker sta-
tions. The local setting also has 4 seek tun-
ing sensitivity levels for FM and 2 levels for
MW/LW to match local conditions.
Changing the Local Seek Sensitivity
1. Use button [12] to select a band.
2.Hold down button © in Bank [14] for
more than 2 seconds, and the display will
show you the current local seek sensitivi-
ty for about 5 seconds.
3.While the loca! seek sensitivity remains
on the display, press the (P) side of but-
ton [2] to increase the sensitivity level,
and the (<4) side to decrease the level as
shown below.
FM
: LOC-1 = LOC-2 = LOC-3 = LOC-4
MW/LW: LOC-1 = LOC-2
The LOC-4 setting allows reception of
only the strongest stations, while lower
settings let you receive progressively
weaker stations.
The display of local seek sensitivity re-
turns to the frequency when about 5 sec-
onds have elapsed after the change of
sensitivity.
Switching between Local and DX
Press button ® in Bank [14] to switch be-
tween Local and DX (distant) seek tuning.
When "LOC.S" [29] is shown on the dis-
play, seek tuning is performed with the lo-
cal seek sensitivity. Otherwise, seek tuning
is performed with the DX seek sensitivity.
TA icc Traffic Announcement Code
(Similar to DK signal of ARI sys-
tem)
EON .....Enhanced Other Network
Information Code.(in some coun-
tries, EON is not offered by broad:
casters.)
PTY ...... Program type ID code
RDS Function of this Unit
This unit has the following functions for
making use of RDS data.
PS, the name of the currently listened sti
tion is displayed.
AF (Alternative Frequency) function. This
enables the receiver to automatically re-
tune to more suitable frequencies trans-
mitting the same program.
TP/TA, EON, user selectabie reception of
ie aioe information service, offered by
DS.
PTY codes enable you to automatically
receive stations broadcasting the same
program content.
Network/Station Name Display
Switch the tuner on and choose one of the
2 FM bands.
When you tune into an RDS station with
manual or seek tuning, the frequency dis-
play changes to the network/station name
display after a few seconds by means of the
PS code.
* The RDS functions of this unit use RDS
codes transmitted along with FM broad-
casts. RDS doesn't work on the MW or
LW bands.
The RDS functions may not work propety
in areas where the RDS transmissions ae
at an experimental stage or where there
are flaws in the broadcasting system.
