with a polarized plug having one blade wider  
than the other, please read the following  
information: The polarization of the plug is a  
safety feature. The polarized plug will only fit  
the outlet one way. If the plug does not fit  
fully into the outlet, try reversing it. If there is  
still trouble, the user should seek the services  
of a qualified electrician. Under no  
circumstances should the user attempt to  
defeat the polarization of the plug.  
12. Power-Cord Protection – Power-supply  
cords should be routed so that they are not  
likely to be walked on or pinched by items  
placed upon or against them, especially near  
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point  
where they exit from the appliance.

Operation  
Setting the Clock  
The ”ACCUCLOCK“ features an automatic clock 5. The clock starts running.  
adjusting function automatically sets the clock time  
on the tuner by means of RDS broadcast signals.  
• The “ACCUCLOCK” feature is available only on  
the European model, and only in areas where  
RDS broadcasts are available.  
• It may take about 5 minutes for the time infor-  
mation to be received and displayed.  
6. After the clock is initially set, it will be  
adjusted periodically when the tuner unit  
is in STANDBY mode.  
• Adjust the clock as explained in “Setting the  
clock manually” on page 14 if you are using a  
model U.S. and Canadian models or if you are  
using the unit in the area where RDS broadcasts  
are unavailable.  
Notes on using the “ACCUCLOCK” function:  
• Make sure that your FM antenna has been  
properly connected as explained on page 10. It is  
strongly recommended that you install an outdoor  
FM antenna since the FM indoor antenna may  
not receive RDS broadcasts well enough to allow  
ACCUCLOCK to function properly.  
• The clock will display the time in a 24 hour cycle.  
For example, 5:30 pm will be displayed as  
“17:30”. (You can select a 12 hour cycle display  
setting. For more information, see page 15.)  
• If RDS signals cannot be received, no RDS station  
will be found.  
Setting the clock automatically  
(European models only)  
ACCUCLOCK starts operating as soon as the  
power cord is plugged in. It then searches for an  
RDS broadcasting station which regularly sends  
time signals and waits to receive such time  
information. The tuner should be in STANDBY  
mode until the clock setting is complete.  
The following steps describe how to set the clock  
automatically:  
Or if an RDS signal is present but the signal is  
not strong enough to allow the ACCUCLOCK  
to automatically set the time, “- -:- -” will lit on  
the display as shown below. If this occurs, set  
the clock manually. (See page 14.)  
1. Plug in the power cord.

2. Once an RDS station that sends time signals  
is detected, the indicator flashes more  
rapidly.  
• You may wish to adjust the clock manually  
because the time information may differ  
depending on the RDS station detected. If so,  
follow the manual clock adjustment procedure  
described on page 14.  
• There may be cases in which you can listen to  
radio broadcasts but cannot use the  
ACCUCLOCK function.

3. Once the time signal is received from the  
RDS station, “CLOCK ADJUSTED” will scroll  
on the time display.  
• Once activated, ACCUCLOCK will remember the  
RDS station it uses for several weeks even if the  
power cord of the tuner is unplugged. If you  
move outside the service area of the memorized  
RDS station and find out that ACCUCLOCK is  
not functioning, see “Confirming/changing the  
RDS Station used by ACCUCLOCK” on page 13  
to change the memorized RDS station.
