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
(page 17).
• You can change the display into the clock display
(for 8 seconds) by pressing DISPLAY.

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. This tuner offers convenient
RDS features like station name. 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
* If the RDS broadcast is not properly received, the
station name may not appear in the display.
