Never Attempt the Following
Do not grip or pull out the disc while it is being pulled back into the player by the automatic reloading mechanism. Do not attempt to insert a disc into the unit when the unit power is off.

Installation Location

Make sure this unit will not be installed in a location subjected to: Direct sun and heat High humidity and water Excessive dust Excessive vibrations

Correct Handling

Do not drop the disc while handling. Hold the disc so you will not leave fingerprints on the surface. Do not affix tape, paper, or gummed labels to the disc. Do not write on the disc.

CORRECT

Inserting Discs
Your player accepts only one disc at a time for playback. Do not attempt to load more than one disc. Make sure the label side is facing up when you insert the disc. ERROR will be displayed on your player if you insert a disc incorrectly. If ERROR continues to be displayed even though the disc has been inserted correctly, push the RESET switch with a pointed object such as a ballpoint pen. Playing a disc while driving on a very bumpy road may result in skips, but this will not scratch the disc or damage the player.

INCORRECT

New Discs
To prevent the CD from jamming, ERROR is displayed if discs with irregular surfaces are inserted or if discs are inserted incorrectly. When a new disc is ejected immediately after initial loading, use your finger to feel around the inside of the centre hole and outside edge of the disc. If you feel any small bumps or irregularities, this could inhibit proper loading of the disc. To remove the bumps, rub the inside edge of the hole and outside edge of the disc with a ballpoint pen or other such instrument, then insert the disc again.

Setting RDS Reception Mode and Receiving RDS Stations
The RDS (Radio Data System) is a radio information system using the 57 kHz subcarrier of regular FM broadcast. The RDS allows you to receive a variety of information such as traffic information, station names, and to automatically re-tune to a stronger transmitter that is broadcasting the same programme.
If the preset station and the stations in the AF list cannot be received:
When the PI SEEK setting is on (refer to PI SEEK Setting on page 9), the unit searches again for a station in the PI (Programme Identification) list. If there are still no stations receivable in the area, the unit displays the frequency of the preset station and the preset number disappears. If the signal level of the Regional (Local) station being tuned becomes too weak to receive, press the same preset button to tune in a Regional station in other district.
Press FUNC./SETUP so that the lights up. Press 1 Press station. Press 1
/AF to activate the RDS mode. or to tune in the desired RDS
For presetting the RDS stations, refer to the Radio Operation section. The RDS stations can be preset in the F1, F2 and F3 bands only. Operate the unit while the indicator lights up. If no operation is performed for 10 seconds, the indicator goes out.

When a traffic information station is tuned in, the TP indicator lights up. Traffic information is heard only when it is being broadcast. If traffic information is not being broadcast, the unit is set in the standby mode. When a traffic information broadcast begins, the unit automatically receives it and the display shows TRF-INFO for 5 seconds. When the traffic information broadcast is over, the unit will automatically set in the standby mode.
In the CD mode: When the TP signal can no longer be received, the traffic information station of another frequency will be selected automatically. The receiver is equipped with the EON (Enhanced Other Networks) function in order to keep track of additional alternate frequencies to the AF list. The EON indicator lights up while an RDS EON station is being received. If the station being received does not broadcast the traffic information, the receiver automatically tunes in the related station that broadcasts the traffic information when it occurs.
Press and hold BAND/TA for at least 2 seconds to deactivate the Traffic Information mode.
The TA indicator goes out.

Displaying Radio Text

Text messages from a radio station can be displayed.
If you do not want to listen to the traffic information being received, lightly press BAND/TA to skip that traffic information message. The TA mode will remain in the ON position to receive the next traffic information message. If the volume level is changed while receiving traffic information, the changed volume level will be memorized. When traffic information is received next time, the volume level will be automatically adjusted to the level memorized. In the TA mode, the SEEK tuning selects only the TP stations.
Press TITLE while receiving FM in the radio mode to select the Radio Text display.
The display will change every time the button is pressed.

Terminology

Bit rate
This is the sound compression rate specified for encoding. The higher the bit rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the files.

Sampling rate

Subwoofer : 0 ~ +15 Bass level: 7 ~ +7 Treble level: 7 ~ +7 Balance : L15 ~ R15 Fader : R15 ~ F15 Defeat : ON/OFF Volume : 0 ~ 35
If no operation is performed for 5 seconds after selecting the SUBW, BASS, TREBLE, BAL, FADER or DEFEAT mode, the unit automatically returns to normal mode. * When the subwoofer mode is set to OFF, its level cannot be adjusted.
This value shows how many times per second the data is sampled (recorded). For example, music CDs use a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz, so the sound is sampled (recorded) 44,100 times per second. The higher the sampling rate, the higher the sound quality, but also the larger the volume of data.

Encoding

Turn the Rotary encoder until the desired sound is obtained in each mode.
By setting Defeat ON, previously adjusted settings of BASS and TREBLE will return to the factory defaults.
