Tips
• To improve broadcast reception, adjust the supplied 
antennas, or connect a commercially available 
external antenna.
• When an FM stereo program has static noise, press 
FM MODE until “MONO” appears. There will be no 
stereo effect, but the reception will improve.
• Press TUNING MODE repeatedly until “AUTO” 
appears in step 2 above, then press +/– (or TUNING 
+/– on the unit). The frequency indication changes 
and scanning stops when the system tunes in a station 
(Automatic Tuning).
• To record the radio programs, use manual recording 
(European model only)
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. 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.
* 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.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station from the FM band.
When you tune in a station that provides RDS 
services, the station name appears in the display.
To check the RDS information
Each time you press DISPLAY the display 
changes cyclically as follows:
Station name* 
t Frequency t Clock display 
t Bass level t Treble level
* If the RDS broadcast is not properly received, the 
station name may not appear in the display.
