Tips

• To improve broadcast reception, adjust the supplied

external antenna.

• When an FM stereo program has static noise, press

FM MODE repeatedly until “MONO” appears.

There will be no stereo effect, but the reception will

improve.

• Press TUNING MODE repeatedly until “AUTO”

appears in step 3 above, then press TUNING –/+ (or

m/M on the CD/DVD player). The frequency

indication changes and scanning stops when the

system tunes in a station (Automatic Tuning).

• To record the radio programs, use manual recording

(pages 42 and 48).

What is the Radio Data

System?

Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting

service that allows radio stations to send

additional information along with the regular

program signal. This tuner offers convenient

RDS features like station name and program

type* display. RDS is available only on FM

stations.**

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you are tuned

in is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the

signal is weak.

* The types of programs include NEWS, AFFAIRS

(current news), INFO, SPORT, EDUCATE

(education programs), DRAMA, CULTURE,

SCIENCE, VARIED (interviews, games and

comedy), POP M, ROCK M, EASY M, LIGHT M,

CLASSICS, OTHER M, WEATHER, FINANCE,

CHILDREN, SOCIAL, RELIGION, PHONE IN,

TRAVEL, LEISURE, JAZZ, COUNTRY (country

music), NATION M (nation’s popular music),

OLDIES, FOLK M, DOCUMENT (investigative

features), TEST (test signal for emergency

broadcast), ALARM! (emergency broadcast) and

NONE (any programs not defined above).

**Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do

they provide the same types of services. If you are

not familiar with the RDS system, check with your

local radio stations for details on RDS services in

your area.
