B) Cautions concerning the ASPM test mode
a) Cancel: When the "ASPM" button is pressed again during operation after it was first pressed in the test mode, the ASPM

test mode is canceled (interrupted), and the initial state FM 106.50 MHz (ST) indication is restored.

     (To check the data which was preset and stored until interruption, use the preset UP/DOWN button. (JOG UP/DOWN is

also available after JOG mode button operation.)

    wing indication appears.

b) The ASPM test mode is started in FM stereo state (FM 106.50 MHz ST). If any button other than ASPM button is pressed

even only once after it is started, it becomes invalid, and the ASPM test mode becomes inoperable.

     Invalid: The Ordinary mode is set while 4 to 30CH data remain in memory (or 1 to 30 CH MAX data remain in memory).

The "ASPM" button can be repeatedly operated until 01CH to 03CH is filled (up to 3 stations in memory).
The number of stored stations -> Channel No. -> Frequency -> FM 106.50 MHz (ST) is indicated.
                     (1 second)                 (1 second)       (1 second)     (Initial state)

c) Broadcast (without PI code) which is not RDS is not preset and stored in memory.
    When the ASPM mode is set, the "MEMORY/SET" button cannot be operated (the test mode is canceled).
    Operation is possible after ASPM test mode operation.

d) Scan frequency: 105.00 MHz -> 108.00 MHz
     Data are stored in memory so that the PI code is not duplicated (by seeing the PI code and VSM (S meter value).  When

the PI code is duplicated, both VSM (S meter value) are compared. The greater one is stored in memory but the smaller
one is discarded.

    For the stations having the same PI code, only one station having the highest electric field intensity is stored, and the

memory is refilled. The channels which can be preset in the ASPM test mode are 01 to 03CH. If 3 stations are stored, 30
CH are filled.

    For the stations having the same electric field intensity, the former (preceding station) is stored.

e) Signal of already stored same frequency is not stored. (The previously stored data is kept.)

f) The order of preset memory is 01CH -> 02CH -> 03CH.

Up to 3 stations (1 to 3CH) can be indicated. This indication is
given only in the ASPM test mode. In other mode (not in ASPM
test mode) the number of stored stations -> END is indicated

* When the "PRESET UP" button or "PRESET DOWN" button is pressed after completion, the following indication appears.

* If signal exists at 106.50 MHz, the following indication appears.

In case of memory storage with ASPM, for example, if RDS station 107.50 MHz has the PI code (the same as that of RDS
station 105.50 MHz) and VSM is greater than 105.50 MHz (PR-01), data is overwritten on 105.5 MHz which is contained in
"PR-01". (Frequency is changed to 107.50 MHz.)
If VSM is equal, previously stored 105.50 MHz remains.

When RDS station is stored in the test mode, the 2-second blinking of preset No. is not performed so as to save the production
line test time. ("RDS" lighting is performed.)

Note: RDS operation is performed in FM MONO state. However, in case of ASPM, ASPM scan is performed after BAND is

changed from FM MONO to FM STEREO.

Note: When the 

 (PLAY) button is pressed in TEST 2 mode, it is possible to check the sate of IF count. However, this

function is for designer. It is not necessary for other sections.

CH indication
(for 2 seconds)

Frequency indication
(for 2 seconds)

Time series indication of PS name indication is enabled.
(The same as in case of Ordinary)

Note: If PS is fixed after the frequency indication is

resumed, the PS name indication is restored.

FM 106.50 MHz

When the PS data is given in case of NO PS indication, the
PS name indication is restored.

Note: If PS is fixed after the frequency indication is

resumed, the PS name indication is restored.

When the test mode is set, the following indication lights for one second.

When this mode is set, BASS/TREBLE is set to 0 (0 dB) and SURROUND mode is set to off, and start-up function is set to CD
when volume is -14 dB (STEP 17). The button operations in the test mode are the same as those of ordinary operation excepting
sound volume UP/DOWN.

(1) The indication is the same as that of ordinary operation excepting test mode setting.
(2) The sound volume control with the sound volume UP/DOWN button is only the following 3 steps unlike the ordinary state.

      Volume- 

∞

 

(STEP 0) <-> Volume-14 dB (STEP 23) <-> Volume-0 (STEP 30)

(3) BASS/TREBLE and SURROUND are switched when button operation is performed.

The current time and timer time are set in the following procedure to perform the timer playback.

1.Set the current time to 1:00, set the timer to ON time 1:02, set the function to Tape, and set volume STEP 8. One minute is counted

as one second, and the timer playback operation is performed. The fade-in (when playback is started) is executed at a rate of
one step for 0.5 sec. After completion of fade-in the fade-out is executed at a rate of one step for 0.5 sec (WAIT 1 sec inserted).
After completion of fade-out the power is turned off (after WAIT 1 sec), and the mode is changed to the standby mode.

  The indication during operation is the same as that of ordinary timer operation.

When the test mode is set, the following indication lights for one second.

g) When 01 to 03CH were all used, scan is aborted at the frequency at which filling occurred, and the following indication

appears.

Number of stored stations -> Indication of stored channel -> Indication of frequency -> Return to initial FM 106.50 MHz (ST)
              (1 second)                         (1 second)                             (1 second)

h) If even one station could not be preset and stored in the APMS mode, "_0MEMORY" is indicated after scanning, and then

FM 106.50 MHz (ST) indication is restored. (The first digit is space.)

("_0MEMORY" is indicated in the test mode.)

i) When the "ASPM" button is pressed after three stations are stored (after full-memory of 30 stations), "ASPM" blinks for 2

seconds, and then FM 106.50 MHz (ST) indication is restored without ASPM scanning. (RDS automatic lighting)

(In case of ASPM button operation in full memory state)

j) After completion of specific operation FM 106.50 MHz (ST) indication is restored.

k) Test mode
Use of only the function button is inhibited.

l) The first channel to be called (when data is stored in the ASPM mode) is 01CH.

m) After start-up in the ASPM test mode the ASPM key is valid even when it is pressed many times. The test mode is kept.
    If three stations are stored (1 to 3CH), full-memory state occurs.
    If the ASPM button is pressed after occurrence of full-memory state, the same operation as that described in item i) is

performed.

In this period up to 3 stations are continuously indicated (1 to 3 CH).

When the LCD test mode is set, all the LCD segments are lighted. After that the indication is changed as follows according to
the "PLAY" button input.

          Lighting of all segments          Lighting of odd segments          Lighting of even segments

Error content ........... Disc data cannot be read properly or

even if it can be read, the disc is not a
playable one.

Probable  cause ....... The disc is loaded upside down, not CD-

DA, scratches, stains, etc.

Action ...................... Open the CD lid, then reload the disc

correctly. Remove the scratches or stains

This test mode is intended to check whether all the main unit buttons can be detected. Accordingly, in this test mode checking
as to whether the "POWER" button was pressed after all the buttons shown below were pressed is performed. If the result is
OK, OK is indicated. Even any one of keys was not pressed, an error is indicated. In case of OK termination or error termination
exit from this mode occurs when the "POWER" button is pressed next time, and the standby mode is set.
