Maintenance Specifications
Radio Data System allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their
regular program signals.
With the System, you can receive the following types of Radio Data System signals.
PS (Program Service): Shows commonly known station names.
PTY (Program Type): Shows types of broadcast programs.
RT (Radio Text): Shows text messages the station sends.
Enhanced Other Networks: Provides the information about the types of the
programs broadcast by the Radio Data System
stations of the different networks.
NOTE:
If you want to know more about Radio Data System, visit <http://www.rds.org.uk>.
Each time you press the button, the information changes as follows:
NOTE:
If no Radio Data System signals are sent by a station, “NO PS,” “NO PTY,” or “NO RT”
appears.
You can locate a particular kind of program from the preset stations (see the left
column) by specifying the PTY codes.
1
Press to enter the PTY code setting mode.
“PTY” and “SELECT” appear alternately.
2
or
Select a PTY code.

To get the best performance of the System, keep your discs
and mechanism clean.
Handling discs
• Remove the disc from its case by holding it at the edge
while pressing the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the disc when
placing it back in its case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes,
and moisture.
To clean the disc:
• Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from center
to edge.
Cleaning the System
• Stains should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the System is
heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted
neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a
dry cloth.
• Since the System may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the
following:
– DO NOT wipe it hard.
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides
to it.
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact
for a long time.

Automatically
The Enhanced Other Networks function allows the System to switch temporarily to
a preset FM station broadcasting a program of your choice (TA, NEWS, or INFO).

How the Enhanced Other Networks function actually works:
When a station starts broadcasting the program of your choice, the System
automatically switches to the station. The program type indicator starts flashing.
After the program is over, the System goes back to the previously tuned station,
but the function still remains active (the indicator stops flashing and remains lit).

Radio Operations
Hard to listen to broadcasts because of noise.
\ Antennas connections are incorrect or loose.
\ The AM loop antenna is too close to the System.
\ The FM antenna is not properly extended and
positioned.
\ Electrostatic discharge from your body may cause noise.
If this happens, turn off and on the System again.
Timer Operations
Daily Timer does not work.
\ The System has been turned on when the on-time
comes. Timer starts working only when the System is
turned off.
1
Turn the volume to minimum.
2
Press repeatedly to select “AUDIO IN.”
3
Start playing the Digital Audio Player connected.
4
Adjust the volume.
To Adjust the Audio Input Level
If the sound from the Digital Audio Player connected to the AUDIO IN jack is too
loud or too quiet, you can change the audio input level through the AUDIO IN jack
(without changing the volume level).
Press and hold for more than 2 seconds while “AUDIO IN” is selected
as the source.
You can select one of three levels as follows:
As the number increases, the sound becomes louder.
Basic and Common Operations (see page 3)
• Pressing one of the source buttons also turns on the System
and starts playing back if the source is ready or connected.
Playing Back a Disc/USB Mass Storage Class Device
(see page 4)
• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.
• For MP3/WMA playback...
– In this manual, “file” and “track” are interchangeably used
for MP3/WMA operations.
– This System can show the Tag data (Version 1).
– MP3/WMA discs are required a longer readout time than
regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/
file configuration.)
– Some MP3/WMA files cannot be played back and will be
skipped. This result from their recording processes and
conditions.
– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO 9660 Level 1 or
Level 2 for the disc format.
– This System can play back MP3/WMA files with the
extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the
letter case—upper/lower).
– It is recommended that you make each MP3/WMA file at a
sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. This
System cannot play back files made at bit rate of less than
64 kbps.
– Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be different from
the one you have intended while recording. If a folder
does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are ignored.
• Do not use the following USB devices...
– Whose rating is other than 5 V and exceeds 500 mA.
– Equipped with special functions such as data security
functions.
– Divided by 2 or more partitions.
If you are having a problem with your System, check this list
for a possible solution before calling for service.
