 To specify station names and select sta-

You can receive a desired station by specifying the station
name (BBC R1, BBC R2, etc.) from among the stations that
have been stored in memory. (ASPM is convenient for stor-
ing stations in memory.)
Before starting this operation, you must store one or more
station names in memory.

 

 "STATION" and "SELECT" will appear alternately for

about 6 seconds.

 Each time the button is pressed, the station name will

appear. If the button is held down for more than 0.5 sec-
onds, the station name will continuously change.

 After the selected station name has been lit for 1 second,

the preset station which corresponds to the selected sta-
tion name will be recalled.

 
To cancel the station select operation:
Press the STATION button whilst "STATION" and "SELECT"
appear alternately.

To store a station name again, if the wrong name was 
stored in memory by mistake:
When you store station names in memory using the ASPM
function, the correct station names may not actually be
stored if there is lots of noise or if the RDS station signal is
too weak. In this case, store station names in memory using
the following procedure.
1

Press the STATION button.

2

Within 6 seconds, press the PRESET (  or  ) button to
check whether the station names are correct.

3

If you find a station name that is wrong, press the STA-
TION button again within 6 seconds to recall the preset
station, which corresponds to the station name.

4

After the preset station has been received and the cor-
rect station name has been displayed, press the MEM-
ORY/SET button.

5

Within 30 seconds, press the MEMORY/SET button
whilst the preset channel number is flashing.

 The new station name has been stored in memory cor-

rectly.

 When there are no station names stored in memory, you

cannot use this function. In this case, when the STATION
button is pressed, "NOTHING" will flash for 5 seconds,
and the unit will return to the original display.

 This function can only be used when the FM band has

been selected.

 The same station name can be stored in different preset

channels. Therefore, when you are choosing a station
name from the presets, the same station name may be
encountered more than once.

 In a certain area or during certain time periods, the sta-

tion names selected using the station select function may
temporarily be different from the name of the station you
are actually receiving.

(Main unit operation)

 To recall stations that have been stored in 

You can search for desired stations by specifying the pro-
gramme type (news, sports, traffic programme, etc. ... see
page 19) from among the stations that have been stored in
memory. (ASPM is convenient for storing stations in mem-
ory.)

 

 "PTY TI" and "SELECT" will appear alternately for about

6 seconds.

 Each time the button is pressed, the programme type will

appear. If the button is held down for more than 0.5 sec-
onds, the programme type will appear continuously.

 After the name of the selected programme type has been

lit for 2 seconds, "SEARCH" will appear, and the search
operation will start.

Note:
If the programme type has changed from flashing to steadily
lit and the PTY.TI SEARCH button is pressed, nothing will
happen. In this case, start again from step 4.
Each time a station of the programme type you want is
encountered, you will be able to listen to the broadcast.
The channel number will flash for about 3 seconds. The sta-
tion name will flash for 7 seconds, and then remain lit.

 If you want to listen to another station of that programme

type, press the PTY.TI SEARCH button whilst the chan-
nel number or station name is flashing. The unit will look
for the next station of that type.

 If no station of the programme type you want can be

found, "NOT FOUND" will appear for 4 seconds.

If you select traffic programme (TP) as the programme type
in step 5 to receive only radio stations which broadcast traf-
fic programmes, "TP" will appear. (However, this does not
necessarily mean that you will hear any traffic announce-
ments at that time.) During a traffic announcement, "TA" will
appear. (Both "TP" and "TA" will appear during an
announcement.)

(Main unit operation)

 To manually recall the stations stored in 

Press the PRESET (  or  ) button.

 Each time the button is pressed, the channel number will

change.

 After the channel number has been displayed for 2 sec-

onds, the frequency for that channel will appear for 2 sec-
onds, and then the station name will appear.

 Notes for Radio text

 The radio text for 8 characters will be displayed steadily

for 4 seconds and then it will scroll across the display.

 In the radio text position, "NO RT" will appear if the RDS

station is not broadcasting any radio text.

 Whilst radio text data is received or when the text con-

tents change, "RT" will be displayed.

 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 dis-
played, even if "RDS" is lit.

 To switch the display

Each time the DISPLAY MODE button is pressed whilst an
FM station is tuned in, the display will switch as follows:

When the station you are tuning in is not an RDS station or
even if it is an RDS station but it is very weak signal, the dis-
play will change in the following order:

 "NO PS", "NO PTY" or "NO RT" will flash for about 5 sec-

onds, and then the frequency will be displayed.

 The display can only be switched whilst tuned to the FM

band.

stand-by mode.

 If the EON button is pressed when "EON" is not dis-

played, "NO EON" will appear for 5 seconds to indicate
that the unit cannot enter the EON stand-by mode.

About the PTYI (Dynamic PTY Indicator):
PTYI (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the
Dynamic PTY station is received. Dynamic PTY indicates
that the PTY for the station tuned in, or the PTY referenced
in the EON data, is assessed whenever the programme
changes and may be changed.

 When "PTYI" appears, if you press the DISPLAY MODE

button to display the programme type, you can check the
type of programme you are actually receiving.
