Basic operations
General
• If you turn off the power while listening to
a track, playback will start from where it had
been stopped previously next time you turn
on the power.
• If no operation is done for about 60 seconds
after pressing MENU button, the operation will
be canceled.

Tuner operations
Storing stations in memory
• During SSM search...
– All previously stored stations are erased and
the stations are stored anew.
– When SSM is over, the station stored in the
lowest preset number will be automatically
tuned in.
• When storing a station manually, the
previously preset station is erased when
a new station is stored in the same preset
number.

Disc/USB operations
Caution for DualDisc playback
• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not
comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio”
standard. Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side
of a DualDisc on this product may not be
recommended.

General
• This unit has been designed to reproduce
CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CDRWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3
and WMA formats.
• If you change the source while listening to a
disc, playback stops. Next time you select “CD”
as the playback source, playback will start
from where it had been stopped previously.

• When a disc is inserted upside down,
“PLEASE” and “EJECT” appear alternately on
the display. Press 0 to eject the disc.
• If the ejected disc is not removed within
15 seconds, it is automatically inserted into
the loading slot again to protect it from dust.
Playback starts automatically.
• MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and
“track” are used interchangeably) are recorded
in “folders.”
• While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3
or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent
sounds.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can only play back files of the same
type as those detected first if a disc includes
both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA
files.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs;
however, unclosed sessions will be skipped
while playing.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on
this unit because of their disc characteristics,
or for the following reasons:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation has occurred on the
lens inside the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written
using the “Packet Write” method.
– There are improper recording conditions
(missing data, etc.) or media conditions
(stained, scratched, warped, etc.).
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time
since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than
that of regular CDs.

Maintenance
How to clean the connectors

To keep discs clean

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the
connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to
damage the connectors.

A dirty disc may not play
correctly. If a disc does become
dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth
in a straight line from center to
edge.
• Do not use any solvents (for example,
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.

Connectors

Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
unit in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction.
In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit
turned on for a few hours until the moisture
has evaporated.

To play new discs
New discs may have some
rough spots around the inner
and outer edges. If such a disc
is used, this unit may reject the
disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges
with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.
Do not use the following discs:
Single CD—8 cm
Warped disc
(3-3/16”) disc

How to handle discs

Center holder
When removing a disc
from its case, press down
the center holder of the case
and lift the disc out, holding
it by the edges.
• Always hold the disc by the edges. Do not
touch its recording surface.
When storing a disc in its case, gently insert
the disc around the center holder (with the
printed surface facing up).
• Make sure to store discs in cases after use.

How to clean the connectors

To keep discs clean

Frequent detachment will deteriorate the
connectors.
To minimize this possibility, periodically wipe
the connectors with a cotton swab or cloth
moistened with alcohol, being careful not to
damage the connectors.

A dirty disc may not play
correctly. If a disc does become
dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth
in a straight line from center to
edge.
• Do not use any solvents (for example,
conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean discs.

Connectors

Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
unit in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction.
In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit
turned on for a few hours until the moisture
has evaporated.

To play new discs
New discs may have some
rough spots around the inner
and outer edges. If such a disc
is used, this unit may reject the
disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges
with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.
Do not use the following discs:
Single CD (8 cm disc)
Warped disc

How to handle discs

Standby receptions

Tracing the same programme—

TA Standby Reception

Network-Tracking Reception
When driving in an area where FM reception is
not sufficient enough, this unit automatically
tunes in to another FM Radio Data System
station of the same network, possibly
broadcasting the same programme with
stronger signals.

TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch
temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from
any source other than AM.
• The volume changes to the preset TA volume
level if the current level is lower than the
preset level. (,
24)
To activate TA Standby Reception
If the TP indicator lights up, TA
Standby Reception is activated.
If the TP indicator flashes, TA
Standby Reception is not yet
activated.
• To activate the reception, tune in to another
station providing Radio Data System signals
required for TA Standby Reception.
• To deactivate the reception, press T/P BACK
again.

PTY Standby Reception
PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to
switch temporarily to your favourite PTY
programme from any source other than AM.
To activate and select your favourite
PTY code for PTY Standby Reception, see
24)
 (
If the PTY indicator lights up, PTY Standby
Reception is activated.
If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby
Reception is not yet activated.
• To activate the reception, tune in to another
station providing these signals.
• To deactivate the reception, select 
(
24) for the PTY code. The PTY indicator
goes off.
• When a DAB tuner is connected, TA/PTY
Standby Reception also searches for services
(
20).
• The unit will not switch to Traffic
Announcement or PTY programme when
a call connection is established through
“BT-PHONE.”

Programme A broadcasting on different
frequency areas (01 – 05)

To change the Network-Tracking Reception
setting, see  (
24).
• When the DAB tuner is connected, refer to
“Tracing the same programme—Alternative
Frequency Reception (DAB AF),” (
20).

Automatic station selection—
Programme Search
Usually when you select a preset number, the
station preset in that number is tuned in.
If the signals from the FM Radio Data System
preset station are not sufficient for good
reception, this unit, using the AF data, tunes in
to another frequency possibly broadcasting the
same programme as the original preset station
is broadcasting. (,

Basic operations

Disc/USB operations

General

Caution for DualDisc playback

• If you turn off the power while listening to
a track, playback will start from where it had
been stopped previously next time you turn
on the power.
• If no operation is done for about 60 seconds
after pressing MENU button, the operation will
be canceled.

• The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not
comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio”
standard. Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side
of a DualDisc on this product may not be
recommended.

Tuner operations
Storing stations in memory
• During SSM search...
– All previously stored stations are erased and
the stations are stored anew.
– When SSM is over, the station stored in the
lowest preset number will be automatically
tuned in.
• When storing a station manually, the
previously preset station is erased when
a new station is stored in the same preset
number.

FM Radio Data System operations
• Network-Tracking Reception requires two
types of Radio Data System signals—PI
(Programme Identification) and AF
(Alternative Frequency) to work correctly.
• If a Traffic Announcement is received by
TA Standby Reception, the volume level
automatically changes to the preset level
(TA VOLUME) if the current level is lower than
the preset level.
• When Alternative Frequency Reception is
activated (with AF selected), Network-Tracking
Reception is also activated automatically. On
the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception
cannot be deactivated without deactivating
Alternative Frequency Reception. (

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the
unit in the following cases:
• After starting the heater in the car.
• If it becomes very humid inside the car.
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction.
In this case, eject the disc and leave the unit
turned on for a few hours until the moisture
has evaporated.

To play new discs
New discs may have some
rough spots around the inner
and outer edges. If such a disc
is used, this unit may reject the
disc.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges
with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.
Do not use the following discs:
Single CD (8 cm disc)
