Receiving FM Stations with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an

additional signal along with their regular program signals.

For example, the stations send their station names, as well as

information about what type of program they broadcast, such

as sports or music, etc.

When tuned in to an FM station which provides the RDS

service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.

With the unit, you can receive the following types of RDS

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 information about the types of the programs

sent by other RDS stations.

More about RDS

• Some FM stations do not provide RDS signals.

• RDS services vary among FM RDS stations. For details on RDS

services in your area, check with local radio stations.

• RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not

transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is weak.

Playing Back Discs

This unit has been designed to play back the following discs

—CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs

(CD-ReWritable) can be played only if they are already

“finalized.”

• Usually you can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-

RWs recorded in music CD format. However, sometimes

they may not play depending on their characteristics or

recording conditions.

• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions

or cautions carefully.

• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play on this unit because

of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if

the player’s lens is dirty.

• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is

because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for

regular discs.

General notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping

your discs and the mechanism clean.

• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on

shelves.

• Keep the unit’s disc tray closed when not in use.

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 to

prevent warping.

• 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.

DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional record

cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to clean the disc.

Playing Back the Entire Disc—Normal Play
