Radio reception
The following tips will help you gain the best reception from your high quality audio system. To gain the best reception, always tune to the strongest station signal available. AM (MEDIUM/ LONG WAVE) RECEPTION Under most conditions, strong MW and LW signals provide stable sound quality and little signal disturbance. However, at night, atmospheric conditions may sometimes lead to interference from foreign stations. FM RECEPTION The FM waveband offers higher quality sound reception, but signal strength can be subject to interference caused by: · The limited range of some transmitters. · Reception distortion as signals reflect off local buildings and other objects. · Signal 'dead spots' where reception is obstructed or restricted.
Care and maintenance
CASSETTES The tape head in the cassette player needs to be cleaned regularly. It only takes a few minutes and perfect sound quality can be retained by using a recommended 'wet' cleaning tape after every twenty hours of playback. It also pays to take good care of tape cassettes. Direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, for example, can distort a tape and may lead to trouble when the cassette is inserted into a tape player. The audio unit may also be damaged if 'foreign bodies', unsuitable items like credit cards or coins, are pushed inside the cassette aperture. Finally, using a high quality tape cassette also helps improve sound performance. Tapes to avoid include those which are: · Old and worn out. · Spliced tapes. · Cassettes with a total playback time of over 100 minutes because thinner tape is used in these and that increases the chance of tangling. · Cassettes which are damaged or have a peeling label.

Care and maintenance
CDs For best possible sound quality, use CDs that are clean and in good condition and only use standard 12cm circular compact discs. It also pays to take good care of them. · Direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, for example, can distort a CD and may lead to trouble when it is inserted into the audio unit. · When not in use, CDs should be returned to their original pack and stored in a suitable container. · Always hold a CD by its edge or centre and avoid touching the underside surface (usually the side with no printing on it). Fingerprints and scratches will impair sound quality and may even prevent CD playback. · The audio unit may also be damaged if 'foreign bodies', unsuitable items like credit cards or coins, are pushed inside the CD aperture.

RDS and RDS-EON
Audio units equipped with Radio Data System (RDS) or Radio Data System - Enhanced Other Network (RDS-EON) decoders pick up special signals, transmitted on the FM waveband, when tuned to some stations. These provide additional features such as the name of the radio station selected or traffic information that automatically interrupts normal broadcasts. However, certain features may not be available from all radio stations. RDS features With the RDS function switched on, the following features may be accessed. (To select this feature, refer to page 22.) Traffic Information (TA) With this function selected, traffic information broadcasts will automatically interrupt normal radio, cassette or CD playback. (To select this feature, refer to page 22.) Alternative Frequencies (AF) Some radio stations broadcast on different frequencies in different parts of the country. If a station's signal weakens the audio unit retunes to a stronger alternative signal if one exists. During retuning, the audio unit checks a programme identification (PI) code to ensure that it is tuned to the same station and a display like the one shown opposite appears. (To select this feature, refer to page 24.) Station name displays Audio units will display a selected radio station's name, when the information is broadcast using RDS.
RDS and RDS-EON
Clock and date displays Clock and date displays are also available through RDS. These displays are automatically updated and cannot be manually changed or altered When the unit is switched on, a series of bars may appear until an RDS signal has been received. If an RDS signal has not been received, a display like the one shown opposite appears. (To select this feature, refer to page 25.) Music/speech selection With this feature activated and RDS on, the audio unit automatically adjusts audio settings to enhance speech clarity during programme broadcasts. (To select this feature, refer to page 25.)

RDS and RDS-EON Programme type (PTY) selection Some FM stations transmit programme type codes which the audio unit can use to locate different stations transmitting programmes of a certain type. The following programme types may be identified: NEWS, AFFAIRS, INFO, SPORT, EDUCATE, DRAMA, CULTURE, SCIENCE, VARIED, POP M, ROCK M, EASY M, M. O. R. M, LIGHT M, CLASSICS, OTHER M, WEATHER, FINANCE, CHILDREN, SOCIAL, RELIGION, PHONE IN, TRAVEL, LEISURE, JAZZ, COUNTRY, NATION M, OLDIES, FOLK M, DOCUMENT, NONE. Radio stations can also transmit emergency information ALARM. However, this programme type cannot be selected manually (To select this function, refer to page 25.)
RDS and RDS-EON
In addition to the features described previously this audio unit also provides the following RDS-EON features: Traffic information RDS-EON connects certain radio stations so that traffic information broadcast from one may be received while listening to another. Stations identified by ' TP ' will only receive traffic announcements from other linked stations. If, due to reception difficulties, traffic information is not received, the audio unit mutes and 'NO INFO' is displayed briefly Local or distant traffic announcements Because the number of traffic announcements may become excessive in some areas, it is possible to select local traffic information ('TA-LOCAL') or traffic information from further away ('TA-DIST') (To select this feature, refer to page 23.) Station presets When driving to another part of the country some RDS-EON stations stored on preset buttons are updated with the correct frequency for that area.
