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 to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indication lights 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 the information about the types of the programs sent by other RDS stations.
3 Release your finger from RDS CONTROL.
If no PS, PTY, or RT signals are sent by a station "NO PS," "NO PTY," or "NO RT" appears on the display. If the unit takes time to show the RDS information received from a station "WAIT PS," "WAIT PTY," or "WAIT RT" may appear on the display.
Searching for Programs by PTY Codes (PTY Search)
One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes. · For details on the PTY codes, see "Description of the PTY codes" on page 19.

How the Enhanced Other Networks function actually works: CASE 1
If there is no station broadcasting the program you have selected The unit continues tuning in the current station. « When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected, the unit automatically switches to the station. The indication of received PTY code starts flashing. « When the program is over, the unit goes back to the previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Networks function still remains activated.
Alarm function
If an "Alarm!" (Emergency) signal is received from a station while listening to the radio, the unit automatically switches to the station broadcasting the "Alarm!" signal, except when you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM--MW/LW and some FM stations.)
Test function
The TEST signal is used for testing the "Alarm!" signal. Therefore, it makes the unit work in the same way as the "Alarm!" signal does. If a TEST signal is received from a station while listening to the radio, the unit automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal, except when you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM--MW/LW and some FM stations.)
CASE 2
If there is a station broadcasting the program you have selected The unit tunes in the program. The indication of received PTY code starts flashing. « When the program is over, the unit goes back to the previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Networks function still remains activated.
More about the Enhanced Other Networks function
· This data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this unit. In this case, this function may not work correctly. · While listening to a program tuned in by this function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same data. · This function is canceled when you change the source to CD, TAPE, or AUX, while it is temporarily canceled when you change the source to AM (MW/LW.) · This function is also canceled when you turn off the unit.
CASE 3
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the program you have selected The unit continues to receive the station but the indication of received PTY code starts flashing. « When the program is over, the indication of received PTY code stops flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other Networks function still remains activated.

· It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein. · The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level. · While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the Active Hyper Bass PRO effect through the speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 12.) · While recording, the display lights red. · If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Place the unit away from the TV. · You can use type I tape for recording.
To protect your recordings
Cassettes have two small tabs on the back to protect unexpected erasure or recording. To protect your recording, remove these tabs. To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with adhesive tape.
To keep the best recording and playback sound quality
You need to clean the heads. · Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use with a wet-type head cleaning tape (available at electronic and audio shops.) When the head becomes dirty, the following symptoms will occur: Sound quality is reduced. Sound level decreases. Sound drops out. · Do not play dirty or dusty tapes. · Do not touch the highly-polished head with any metallic or magnetic tools.
Adhesive tape
The use of the C-120 or thinner tape is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and this tape easily jams in the pinch rollers and the capstans.
To demagnetize the head Turn off the unit, and use a head demagnetizer (available at electronic and audio shops.)
At the start and end of cassette tapes There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when recording CDs or radio broadcasts, wind the leader tape first to ensure that the recording will be made without any music part lost.
