Sloping Console  
This unit uses a SLOPING CONSOLE to make  
large screen displays possible.  
When you use the SLOPING CONSOLE, be  
sure to close it.  
2. Before the SLOPING CONSOLE closes,  
there may be a braking sound from the safety  
mechanism. This is normal.  
3. If you move the SLOPING CONSOLE by  
hand, this may start play. To correct this play,  
with the power for the unit ON, press the [Q]  
button to close the SLOPING CONSOLE.  
CAUTION  
BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET YOUR FINGERS  
CAUGHT WHEN OPENING AND CLOSING  
THE SLOPING CONSOLE.  
4. After a disc is ejected, the SLOPING  
CONSOLE automatically returns to the tilted  
or closed state. If there is any obstruction  
when the SLOPING CONSOLE tries to close,  
the safety mechanism is triggered and the  
SLOPING CONSOLE returns to the open  
state. If this happens, remove the  
obstruction, then press the [Q] button.  
5. To avoid scratching the compact disc, keep  
the 12 or 8 cm CD level when loading or  
removing it.  
1. For safety’s sake, always close the SLOPING  
CONSOLE before leaving this unit unused for  
a prolonged period or switching OFF the  
ignition key.  
If you switch OFF the ignition key with the  
SLOPING CONSOLE tilted, the SLOPING  
CONSOLE does not close.

disc.  
• Never stick labels on the surface of the  
compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil  
or pen.  
• Never play a compact disc with any cellophane

After removing it, be careful not to drop it  
or subject it to strong shocks.  
• If the [RELEASE] button is pressed and the  
DCP is not locked into place, it may fall out  
from vibration of the car. This can break the  
DCP, so after removing it, either install it on  
the unit or put it in its DCP case.

Dolby Pro Logic II is a matrix decoding  
technology in which updated digital matrix  
technology is applied and Dolby Pro Logic is  
further improved. Dolby Pro Logic II realizes  
excellent 5.1 channel reproduction of Dolby  
surround source as well as stereo sound  
sources such as CDs, thereby causing a  
surround channel to be full-ranged (20 Hz to 20  
kHz) and become stereo. Therefore, you can  
enjoy any stereo sources with dynamic sound of  
5.1 channel. The Music Mode or Matrix Mode  
can be selected according to a source to be

Compensation  
There is no need to compensate frequency  
characteristics if they are flat (no peaks or  
valleys) when you have measured the  
frequency characteristics with a measuring  
device. However, sometimes the frequency  
characteristics rise or fall in some places. If this  
happens, the frequency characteristics must be  
compensated. Create a frequency curve having  
characteristics that are opposite to the centre  
frequency of parts where the characteristics rise  
and fall to cancel out these peaks and values,  
and make the frequency characteristics as flat  
as possible.

The Q curve becomes sharper when the  
numerical value is increased, and smoother

Flat frequency characteristics can be made by  
selecting a Q curve opposite to that of the curve  
to be compensated.  
Making the frequency characteristics as flat as  
possible is called “compensation.”

from the station having the lowest  
frequency.  
1. Touch P-SCAN.  
The P-SCAN display changes to “MODE”,  
and the stations that were being received  
when P-SCAN was touched are received

Notes:  
• When auto store is performed, stations stored to  
memory so far are cleared.  
• When there are fewer than 6 stations with good  
reception in LOCAL SEEK, low frequencies are  
automatically returned to, and auto store is  
performed again by DX SEEK. If there are fewer  
than 6 stations even after auto store is performed  
twice, stations stored so far remain in memory.  
• If auto store is performed in the FM bands, the  
stations are stored in FM3 even if FM1 or FM2  
was chosen for storing stations.

RDS Operations  
RDS (Radio Data System)  
This unit has a built-in RDS decoder system that  
supports broadcast stations transmitting RDS  
data.  
AF function  
The AF function switches to a different  
frequency on the same network in order to  
maintain optimum reception.  
This system can display the name of the  
broadcast station being received (PS), and can  
automatically switch to the broadcast station  
with the best reception as you move over long  
distances (AF switching).  
• The factory default setting is “ON”.  
To switch the AF function ON/OFF  
1. Touch MODE.  
2. Touch AF.  
If a traffic announcement or programme type is  
broadcasted from an RDS station, this  
broadcast is received no matter what mode you  
are in.  
Each touch toggles the display on AF  
between “ON” and “OFF”.  
3. Touch RTN.  
If the reception of the current broadcast  
station deteriorates, “SEARCH” appears in  
the display, and the radio searches for the  
same programme on another frequency.  
Also, if EON information is received, this  
information enables automatic switching of other  
preset stations on the same network and  
interruption of the station being received with  
traffic information from other stations (TP). This  
function is not available in some areas.  
AF function between RDS and DAB  
When the same programme is broadcasted by  
both RDS and DAB, and this function is ON, this  
unit automatically switches to receive the  
broadcast with the better reception.  
When using the RDS function, always set the  
radio to the FM mode.  
• AF : Alternative Frequency  
• PS : Programme Service Name  
• PTY : Programme Type  
• EON : Enhanced Other Network

region is received if the regional station area  
switches as you drive.  
TA (Traffic Announcement)  
When a traffic announcement broadcast starts  
in the TA standby mode, the traffic  
announcement broadcast is received as top  
priority regardless of the function mode so you  
can listen to it. Traffic programme (TP)  
automatic tuning is also possible.  
• This function can only be used when “TP” is lit  
in the display. When “TP” is lit, this means that  
the RDS broadcast station being received has  
traffic announcement programmes.  
• The factory default setting is “OFF”.

ground into PC users and Become a standard  
format.  
Sampling rate: 11.025 kHz to 48 kHz  
Bit rate: 8 kbps to 320 kbps / VBR  
2. WMA:  
This MP3 features original audio data  
compression to about 10 percent of its initial  
size while keeping high sound quality intact.  
This means that about 10 music CDs can be  
recorded on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc to  
allow a long listening time without having to  
change CDs.  
Bit rate 48 kbps to 192 kbps
