   If you hold down the button, the frequency keeps changing until you release the button.

Storing stations in memory
You can use one of the following two methods to store broadcasting stations in memory.

• Automatic preset of FM stations: SSM (Strong-station Sequential Memory)
• Manual preset of both FM and AM stations

FM station automatic preset: SSM
You can preset 6 local FM stations in each FM band (FM1, FM2 and FM3).

• Local FM stations with the strongest signals are searched and stored automatically in the band number you have selected (FM1, FM2 or FM3). These stations are preset in the number buttons — No. 1 (lowest frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency).
• When automatic preset is over, the station stored in number button 1 will be automatically tuned in.

Manual preset

• You can preset up to 6 stations in each band (FM1, FM2, FM3 and AM) manually.
• EXAMPLE: Storing an FM station of 88.3 MHz into the preset number 1 of the FM1 band

Select the FM1 band.

Repeat the above procedure to store other stations into other preset numbers.

Notes:

• A previously preset station is erased when a new station is stored in the same preset number.
• Preset stations are erased when the power supply to the memory circuit is interrupted (for example, during battery replacement). If this occurs, preset the stations again.

Tuning into a preset station

• You can easily tune into a preset station.
• Remember that you must store stations first. If you have not stored them yet, see pages 7 and 8.

Other convenient tuner functions

SOUND ADJUSTMENTS

Adjusting the sound
You can adjust the sound characteristics to your preference.

(front only)
BAL (Balance)| Adjust the left and right speaker balance| L06 (left only) — R06 (right only)
VOL (Volume)| Adjust the volume| 00 (min.) — 50 (max.)

Note :

• If you are using a two-speaker system, set the fader level to “00.” Note:
  Normally the control dial works as the volume control. So you do not have to select “VOL” to adjust the volume level.

Turning on/off the BBEII function

• The BBEII* function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording, broadcasts, etc.
• When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBEII function adjusts the phase relationship between the low, mid and high frequencies by adding a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies reach the listener’s ears at the proper time.
• In addition, the BBEII function boosts low and high frequencies, which loudspeakers tend to be less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation.
• When combined with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer, more finely detailed “live” presence.
• Each time you press BBE, the BBEII function changes as follows.
• As the number gets higher, the BBEII function becomes stronger. The initial setting is BBE 2.
• • Under license from BBE Sound, Inc.
• is a trademark of BBE Sound, Inc.

Using the Sound Control Memory (SCM)
You can select and store a preset sound adjustment suitable to each playback source. (Advanced SCM)

Selecting and storing the sound modes

• Once you select a sound mode, it is stored in memory, and will be recalled every time you select the same source. A sound mode can be stored for each of the following sources —FM1, FM2, FM3, AM, CD and external components.
• If you do not want to store the sound mode separately for each playback source, but want to use the same sound mode for all the sources, see “Canceling Advanced SCM” on page 23.
• Select the sound mode you want.
• Each time you press the button, the sound mode changes as follows:
  • When “SCM LINK” is set to “LINK ON”, the selected sound mode can be stored in memory for the current source and the effect applies only to the current source. Each time you change the playback source, the SCM indicator flashes on the display.
  • When “SCM LINK” is set to “LINK OFF”, the selected sound mode effect applies to any source.

Recalling the sound modes

• Select the source while the “SCM” indicator is lit on the display.
• The “SCM” indicator starts flashing, and the sound mode stored in memory for the selected source is recalled.

Notes:

• You can adjust each sound mode to your preference, and store it in memory.
• If you want to adjust and store your original sound mode, see “Storing your own sound adjustments” on page 19.
• To adjust the bass and treble reinforcement levels or to turn on/off the BBEII function temporarily, see pages 15 and 16. (Your adjustments will be canceled if another source is selected.)

Storing your own sound adjustments
You can adjust the sound modes (BEAT, SOFT, POP: see page 17) to your preference and store your own adjustments in memory.

To reset to the factory settings
Repeat the same procedure and reassign the preset values listed in the table on page 17.

MAINTENANCE

• Handling CDs

  • This unit has been designed only to reproduce the CDs bearing the marks.
  • Other discs cannot be played back.

• How to handle CDs
  

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

• To keep CDs clean
  A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

• To play new CDs

  • New CDs may have some rough spots around the inner and outer edges. If such a CD is used, this unit may reject the CD.
  • To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

• Moisture condensation

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

CAUTIONS:

• Do not insert 8cm (3 3/16″) CDs (single CDs) into the loading slot. (Such CDs cannot be ejected.)
• Do not insert any CD of unusual shape – like a heart or flower; otherwise, it will cause a malfunction.
• Do not expose CDs to direct sunlight or any heat source or place them in a place subject to high temperature and humidity. Do not leave them in a car.
• Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean CDs.

When playing a CD-R (Recordable)
You can play back your original CD-Rs on this receiver.

• Before playing back CD-Rs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs recorded on CD recorders may not be played back on this receiver because of their disc characteristics, and of the following reasons:
  • Discs are dirty or scratched.
  • Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit.
  • The pickup lens inside the CD player is dirty.
• Use only “finalized” CD-Rs.
• CD-RWs (Rewritable) cannot be played back on this receiver.
• Do not use the CD-Rs with stickers or sticking labels on the surface. They may cause malfunctions.

About mistracking:
Mistracking may result from driving on extremely rough roads. This does not damage the unit and the CD, but will be annoying.
We recommend that you stop CD play while driving on such rough roads.
