Using RDS Mode
Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS mode gives you many useful
new features. With RDS, the radio can:

seek only to stations with the types of programs
you want to listen to,

seek to stations with traffic announcements,

receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies and

receive and display messages from radio stations.RDS features are only available for use on FM stations
which broadcast RDS information. The RDS features of
your radio rely upon receiving specific RDS information
from these stations. These features will only work when
the RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio
station may broadcast incorrect information that will
cause the radio features to work improperly. If this
happens, please contact the radio station.
When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station
name will appear on the display, instead of the
frequency. Most RDS stations provide their station
name, the time of day and a Program Type (PTY)
for their current programming.
Accessing RDS Mode:
1. Push the SEEK TYPE button or turn the P
-TYPE
LIST/AUDIO knob to display the program type list.
2. Turn knob either clockwise or counterclockwise to
select a program type. List is alphabetical.
3. Push SEEK TYPE button to activate search.
VOL: Turn this knob clockwise to increase volume
when RDS interrupts regular play. Turn it
counterclockwise to decrease volume.
DISP: Press this knob to recall the RDS station
being played.

NO TRAF will appear on the display.
When a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio
station, you will hear it, even if the volume is muted or
a cassette tape or compact disc is playing. The TRAF
icon and TRAFFIC will appear on the display while the
traffic announcement plays. If the cassette tape or
compact disc player was being used, the tape or compact
disc will stay in the player and resume play at the point
where it stopped.

icon will appear on the display. Press this button to see

the display, parts of the message will appear every three
seconds until the message is completed. To see the parts
of the message faster than every three seconds, press this
button again. A new group of words will appear on the

Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer
than that are so thin they may not work well in this
player. The longer side with the tape visible should face
to the right. If the ignition is on, but the radio is off,
the tape can be inserted and will begin playing. A tape
symbol is shown on the display whenever a tape is
inserted. If you hear nothing but a garbled sound, the
tape may not be in squarely. Press EJT to remove the
tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOL, FADE, BAL,
TREB, BASS and SEEK controls just as you do for
the radio. The display will show TAPE and an arrow
showing which side of the tape is playing.If you want to insert a tape when the ignition is off,
first press EJT or DISP.
If CHK TAPE appears on the radio display, the tape
won't play because of an error.
CHK TAPE may be displayed when the tape is tight
and the player can't turn the tape hubs. Remove the tape.
Hold the tape with the open end down and try to turn
the right hub counterclockwise with a pencil. Turn the
tape over and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your
tape may be damaged and should not be used in the
player. Try a new tape to make sure your player is
working properly.
CHK TAPE may be displayed when the tape is broken.
Try a new tape.
CHK TAPE may be displayed when the tape is wrapped
around the tape head. Attempt to get the cassette out.
Try a new tape.
If any error occurs repeatedly or if an error can't be
corrected, please contact your dealer.
