Selecting preset station

If a station is broadcasting a programme of the same PTY code as you have selected, that station is tuned in.
Using the standby receptions
TA Standby Reception [Turn] = [Press]
TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from any source other than AM. The volume changes to the preset TA volume level if the current level is lower than the preset level (see page 14). To activate TA Standby Reception The TP (Traffic Programme) indicator either lights up or flashes. If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby Reception is activated. If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby Reception is not yet activated. (This occurs when you are listening to an FM station without the Radio Data System signals required for TA Standby Reception.) To activate the reception, tune in to another station providing these signals. The TP indicator will stop flashing and remain lit. To deactivate the TA Standby Reception The TP indicator goes off.
The following features are available only for FM Radio Data System stations.
Searching for FM Radio Data System programme PTY Search
You can tune in to a station broadcasting your favorite programme by searching for a PTY code.
The last selected PTY code appears. Select one of your favorite programme types or a PTY code.
EN02-09_KD-R303_003A_2.indd 8 20/8/08 11:29:57 AM
To activate and select your favorite PTY code for PTY Standby Reception, see page 14. The PTY indicator either lights up or flashes. If the PTY indicator lights up, PTY Standby Reception is activated. If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby Reception is not yet activated. To activate the reception, tune in to another station providing these signals. The PTY indicator will stop flashing and remain lit. To deactivate the PTY Standby Reception, select PTY OFF for the PTY code (see page 14). The PTY indicator goes off.

Usually when you select a preset number, the station preset in that number is tuned in. If the signals from the FM Radio Data System preset station are not sufficient for good reception, this unit, using the AF data, tunes in to another frequency possibly broadcasting the same programme as the original preset station is broadcasting. The unit takes some time to tune in to another station using programme search. See also page 14.

FM Radio Data System operations
Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of Radio Data System signalsPI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency) to work correctly. Without receiving these data correctly, Network-Tracking Reception will not operate correctly. If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby Reception, the volume level automatically changes to the preset level (TA VOL) if the current level is lower than the preset level. When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated (with AF selected), Network-Tracking Reception is also activated automatically. On the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Frequency Reception. (See page 14.)
Caution for DualDisc playback
The Non-DVD side of a DualDisc does not comply with the Compact Disc Digital Audio standard. Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.
This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing. Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for the following reasons: Discs are dirty or scratched. Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens inside the unit. The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty. The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the Packet Write method. There are improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, warped, etc.). CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs. Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs: Discs with stickers, labels, or a protective seal stuck to the surface. Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an ink jet printer. Using these discs under high temperature or high humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to the unit.
