seconds), press the RDS PTY button again.

The unit searches the all preset stations and stops 
when it fi nds a station of the selected category 
then tunes into the stations. The RDS indicator 
lights up.

If no programme is found in the all preset stations, 
“NO FOUND” appear on the display and returns to 
the previous station.

Notes:

If the display has stopped fl ashing, start again from 
step 2. If the unit fi nds a desired programme type, 
the corresponding channel number will lit for about 
4 seconds, and then the station name will remain it.
If you want to listen to the same programme type 
of another station, press the RDS PTY button and 
start again from step 2. The unit will look for the next 
station.

Notes for RDS operation

If any of the following events occur, it does not mean 
that the unit is faulty:

“PS”, “NO PS” and a station name appear alternately, 
and the unit does not operate properly.
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 fl ash for about 
5 seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.

Notes for radio text:

The fi rst 8 characters of the radio text will appear for 
4 seconds and then they will scroll across the display.
If you tune in to an RDS station which is not 
broadcasting any radio text, “NO RT” will be displayed 
when you switch to the radio text position.
Whilst radio text data is received or when the text 
contents change, “RT” 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. 
If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with 
a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, 
along the radius.

Maintenance

Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted 
soap solution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:

Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, 
etc.). It may damage the cabinet.

Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause 
malfunctions.

Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an 
extremely humid environment may cause condensation 
inside the cabinet (CD pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter 
on the remote control. Condensation can cause the unit 
to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no 
disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 
hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with a 
soft cloth before operating the unit.

Before transporting the unit

Remove all CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD 
in the disc tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by 
mode. Carrying the unit with discs left inside can damage 
the unit.
