STORING PRESET STATIONS

button on the remote control to store into memory.
The station number appears on the VFD as does a flashing "P--".

Select the band AM or FM with the
AM / FM

MONO AND STEREO
Mono is sound reproduction using a single channel whereas stereo is sound reproduction that uses two or more channels to
give the audio a sense of depth and better sound quality. Thus, FM stereo is preferred over FM mono unless FM stereo
reception strength is too weak.
1.
Adjust the FM pigtail antenna to achieve the best reception possible for the desired FM station.
2.
In cases where interference is causing poor FM stereo reception, switch to mono reception by pressing the
stereo
button on
the remote control. The FM station plays back in mono mode and "FM mono" appears on the VFD instead of "FM stereo".
Toggling between FM stereo and FM mono can be controlled from the remote control only, not from the unit itself.
RDS OPERATION (EUROPEAN MODELS ONLY)
Available only in European models of the CD Micro System, RDS stands for Radio Data System; the PS and PTY features of
RDS are available for this unit. It is not intended for automatic turning purposes. The PS name is an 8-character alphanumeric
label transmitted by the broadcaster to identify to the listener the name of the tuned program service. The PTY name is an
8-character alphanumeric label transmitted by the broadcaster to identify to the listener the name of the tuned program type,
such as current affairs, science, or popular music.
While tuning into radio frequencies, the unit will automatically check whether any RDS stations exist or are found. If none exist
or can be found, the RDS LED indicator on the unit front panel will turn off. Pressing the
display / RDS
button on the remote
control will show the message, "NO RDS", on the VFD. If any RDS stations exist or are found, the RDS LED indicator will light
up orange and "RDS" will appear on the VFD.
