Batteries for remote control unit are not provided.  
Please protect your environment! As batteries contain certain toxic substances they pollute  
the environment if not properly disposed of. Your specialised dealer will accept used batteries.  
Make sure the batteries are always of the same type and age, and remove them from  
the remote control if you are not using it for a long period.  
Installation  
Plug the provided AM antenna here.  
Fit the provided FM antenna here.  
Plug a device like a video recorder, TV set, or  
minidisc, etc. here. Be sure to connect sockets and  
plugs of the same colour.  
Push here  
Fit the speaker cables.  
Be sure to connect the  
pair of cables (for the left  
and the right speaker) so  
that the marked flexes  
have both the same  
colour (phase).  
Right speaker  
Make sure the rating of your household electricity supply matches that shown  
on the back of the sound system.  
Do not stack objects on top of the sound system.  
Do not block the ventilation holes of the sound system.  
Place the system so that air can circulate freely.  
Switch devices off when connecting or disconnecting.  
Do not expose the sound system to high levels of humidity and heat, to avoid the risk of fire and  
electric shock.  
Do not connect the sound system to the power supply if you have just moved it from a cold to a  
warm environment. This can result in condensation inside the system and cause serious damage to  
the machine and cassettes. Wait around two hours to allow it to reach room temperature.  
Be sure you disconnect the power supply and aerial if you will not be using the system for a long  
period or during a thunderstorm.  
Be sure to read the precautions on page 2.

RDS  
Receiving FM Stations with RDS  
This unit can use the following RDS service.  
RDS (Radio Data System) is a broadcasting service which a  
growing number of FM stations are now providing. It allows  
the FM stations to send additional signals along with their  
regular program signals. For example, the stations send their  
station names and information about what type of program  
they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.  
Identifies each station by  
a name.  
PS (Programme Service name)  
RT (Radio Text)  
Allows the RDS station to send text  
messages that appear on the display of  
the unit.  
When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS  
service, the RDS indicator lights up, the station frequency  
(and then the station name if sent) is displayed.  
PTY (Programme Type) Identifies the type of RDS  
programme. This allows you to  
locate a specific type name of  
program being broadcast.  
Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do all RDS  
stations provide same services. If in doubt, check with local  
radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.

Searching for a desired programme by PTY codes  
One of the advantages of the RDS service is that you can locate a particular kind of  
program by specifying the PTY codes.  
The PTY Search function is applicable to preset stations only.  
To search for a programme using the PTY codes, follow this procedure: Using the remote  
controller  
1. Press the PTY SEARCH button

While the search function is running, the selected program type and "SEARCH" alternate on the display.

Then the PTY will be indicated and the broadcast will commence.  
If a station broadcasting a selected PTY cannot be found, "NOT" and "FOUND" are displayed just one  
time alternately on the display. The unit will then return to the station to which it was tuned prior to the start  
of the PTY Search.

RDS may not work correctly if the station to which you are tuned is not transmitting properly or  
if the signal strength is weak.
