They send their station names, and information about the type of programme such as sport, music, etc. When tuned to an RDS station, RDS and the station name will be displayed. TP (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when the received broadcast carries traffic information, and TA (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic information is on air. PTYI (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the Dynamic PTY station is received.

Using the Auto Station Programme Memory (ASPM)
Whilst in the ASPM operation mode, the tuner will automatically search for new RDS stations. Up to 30 stations can be stored. If you have already stored some stations in memory, the number of new stations you can store will be less. To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete: Press the SHIFT and RDS ASPM button whilst it is scanning for stations. The stations which are already stored in memory will be kept there. Notes: If the same station is broadcasting on different frequencies, the strongest frequency will be stored in memory. Any station which has the same frequency as the one stored in memory will not be stored. If 30 stations have already been stored in memory, the scan will be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM operation, erase the preset memory. If no station is stored in memory, END will appear for about 4 seconds. If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be stored in memory. To erase all of the contents of preset memory: 1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by mode. 2 Press CLEAR/DISPLAY button for more than 2 seconds until TUNER CLEAR appears. After performing this operation, all of the preset memory information will be erased. To store a station name again if the wrong name was stored in memory: It may be impossible to store station names in memory using the ASPM function if there is lots of noise or if the signal is too weak. In this case, perform as follows. 1 Press the PRESET ( or ) button to check whether the names are correct. 2 If you find a wrong name whilst receiving the station, wait until the correct name is displayed and then press the MEMORY/ DIMMER button. 3 Within 30 seconds, press the MEMORY/DIMMER button whilst the preset channel number is flashing. The new station name has been stored in memory correctly.

If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a station is conducting tests, the RDS reception function may not work properly. When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too weak, information like the station name may not be displayed. NO PS, NO PTY or NO RT will flash for about 5 seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.

Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collection and player. Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface. Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture. Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking.

Sharp presents its home cinema systems for 2008
Cinema for the ears: the HT-DV50H and the HT-DV30H round off the electronics companys spring line-up. Together with the home cinema system HT-DV40H which was introduced at the end of last year, Sharp provides every home cinema enthusiast with the right sound. While each has an almost identical control unit, the main difference between the three systems is in their respective speaker systems.
Berlin, IFA 2008. The three new home cinema systems from Sharp come with comprehensive technical equipment. They all include "Audistry" sound technology1 for sound with a broader scope, natural bass tones, intelligent volume control, DTS, Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II, Dolby Virtual Speaker technology2, an HDMI interface, and a USB host. Both the HT-DV50H and HT-DV40H models come with a powerful 100-watt 2.1 subwoofer. With the subwoofer included, the systems achieve a total sine wave output of 250 watts3. These three systems in black piano lacquer not only impress with their optimal surround sound for the living room, but also with their high-quality system design. In this regard, the HT-DV50H is the most fascinating, with its extraordinary tower-shaped speaker systems. "A fully equipped home cinema should have not only a large-format LCD television, but also the sound system to match," explains Marc Azad, Product Manager for Audio and Vision at Sharp Electronics GmbH Germany/Austria, when describing the requirements of modern home cinema entertainment. "With our three new sound systems, we provide our customers with the perfect sound experience in the home, while the 2.1 technology makes it possible to replace the previous 5.1 speaker system with just three speakers in total, and nevertheless to produce impressive surround sound," says Azad. Besides the control unit, the HT-DV50H comprises two slim towers with three high-quality frames, each with a dome tweeter, as well as the subwoofer. The HT-DV40Hs three speakers consist of two front speakers and the subwoofer. The third system, the HTDV30H, includes two 2-way bass reflex systems with a dome tweeter and a total sine wave output of 150 watts, with a removable metal front grid on each speaker. The HTDV30H also includes an active subwoofer output for connection of subwoofers according to preference. The control unit includes an easily legible display, which is integrated into the high-quality front section. The integrated DVD drive plays all common formats from DVD, DVDR/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD audio and CD-R/RW, right through to MP3, JPEG and DivX. In addition, these devices provide extensive connection options: two digital audio outputs, a
