OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Manual Tuning Control
Turn the TUNING control (6) clockwise to tune
upward in frequency on the band in use, or
counter-clockwise to tune downward in
frequency. The current frequency will be shown
in digital format on the display panel. When
tuning in a station, always adjust the control so
that the correct broadcast frequency is shown
on the display and you are receiving a clear
signal. If the radio is tuned off-frequency, you
could experience distorted audio, noise and
other reception problems.
Mode Button (MODE)
Press the MODE button (7) to change between
radio, CD or CD Changer play. When a CD is
playing, you can press this button to revert to
radio operation.
Audio Mute (MUTE)
Press the MUTE button (8) to mute the volume
from the system. “MUTE” will appear on the
display panel and the volume will be muted.
Press the MUTE button again, turn the MULTI/
JOG control (3), or press the SEL/MENU
button (4) to return the volume level to the
setting in use before the Mute function was
activated.
FM Mono Select (MON)
During FM radio operation, press the MON
button (9) to select mono or stereo reception of
the broadcast signal. Under normal reception
conditions, the unit should be left in the stereo
mode as indicated by the “ST” icon on the
display panel when tuned to an FM stereo
signal. If the stereo signal is too noisy for
comfortable listening, press the MON button to
switch to monaural reception. To return to
stereo reception mode, press the button again
so that the “ST” indication reappears.
Local Button (LOC)
During radio operation, received signals are
usually in stereo mode as indicated by the “ST”
icon; however, when the signals are weak or
intermittent, you can activate the Local (LOC)
mode by pressing the LOC button (10). “LOC”
appears on the display. This mode favors
access to local stations whose signals are
much stronger; thereby improving radio
reception. Press the LOC button again to
terminate Local receive mode (“LOC”
disappears from the display panel).
Equalizer Selector (EQ)
The EQ button (11) applies preset sound
effects to the unit’s audio output signal. When
pressed, it will activate one of the following
modes: “FLAT”, “CLASSICS”, “POP M”, “ROCK
M” or “DSP OFF”. When the Equalizer function
is active, the bass and treble levels can still be
changed to accommodate the listener’s ear.
When the EQ function is not active, the unit
returns to the user-set bass and treble levels.
Display Selector (DSP)
This unit can display either the clock time or
radio frequency/CD player functions. Ordinarily,
the radio frequency or CD player track
indication is displayed, but the unit will display
the time when the DSP button (18) is pressed.
The time will display for approximately 5
seconds then return to the radio or CD player
function display. The correct time-of-day can be
set by pressing and holding the DSP button.
Setting the Clock
To set the clock, perform the following steps:
1. Turn the vehicle ignition and radio on.
2. Press and hold the DSP button (18) until
the time display flashes.
3. Within 5 seconds, turn the MULTI/JOG
control (3) clockwise to adjust the minutes
to the desired setting.
4. Turn the MULTI/JOG control counter-
clockwise to adjust the hour and the “AM”/
”PM” indication to the desired time.
