Notes: q "NO PS", "NO PTY" or "NO RT" will flash for about 5 seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed. q The display can only be switched whilst tuned to the FM band. Programme type (PTY) Radio text (RT) Frequency MHz 24 (Continued) s EON-PTY (Main unit operation) 5 When a programme of the type specified starts 4 2 3 on an ON (other network) station, the unit will automatically switch to the station broadcasting the selected programme type, and "PTY" will flash. 6 When the programme specified for the ON station is over, the unit will automatically return to the original station you were tuned to. Note: q If the EON button is pressed when "EON" is not displayed, "NO EON" will appear for 5 seconds to indicate that the unit cannot enter the EON stand-by mode. 1 Tune in the desired RDS station (when a station name is being displayed). Checking the stand-by mode setting: 2 Press the EON button when "EON" appears. When in the EON stand-by mode, press the EON button.

About the PTYI (Dynamic PTY Indicator): PTYI (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the Dynamic PTY station is being received.

PTYI Meaning Lights up Tuned into a dynamic PTY station. MiniDiscs are single sided and should only be inserted with the correct side up. You don't need to search for the starting point at which to record. The unit automatically finds the point at which recording can start. You can check the total or remaining recordable time (possible recording) before recording. This lets you plan a recording session so that the last song will not come to an abrupt end before it has finished. CD First track Track A Second track Track B Second track Track B Third track Track C MD First track Area for TOC (recording track numbers, track names, etc. ) Area for recording the sound Third track Track C Track A s Disc writing (TOC) The TOC (Table of Contents) is information on track numbers and recording areas to allow the unit to recognize musical selections or sounds. The entire MD is controlled depending on this TOC, which enables the unit to find the beginning of a track quickly or to automatically record in a vacant area. When you start recording or editing, "TOC" will appear in the display window. This indicates that information in the TOC is now being changed according to recording or editing being performed. (The changed TOC is not yet recorded on the MiniDisc at this time. ) s About track numbers When recording from a CD New track numbers will be created automatically according to the original tracks (Synchro mark function). q When you record from a CD to a MiniDisc, the track numbers recorded on the MiniDisc may not match the track numbers on the CD. If this happens, correct the track numbers using the DIVIDE(page 36) and COMBINE (page 36) functions after recording. Recordings cannot be made in the following situations. q If you try recording on a playback-only MiniDisc (commercially available music) q If a MiniDisc is protected against accidental erasure (Page 44) q If there is no more recording time left on the disc (Page 45) q When the "TOC FULL " message appears (Page 47) q If a disc's TOC has been damaged q If you are trying to copy a digital signal that has been encoded with the SCMS signal (Serial Copy Management System) Notes: q When recording important selections, be sure to make a preliminary test to ensure that the desired material is being properly recorded. [. . . ] If this product is subjected to strong external interference (mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc. ) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunction or the display may not function correctly. If such a problem occurs, do the following: s External care q Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution, then wipe with a dry cloth. q Do not use chemically treated cleaning cloths or other chemicals. 1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode. s Care of compact discs 2 Press the ON/STAND-BY button whilst holding down the EQUALIZER button and the PLAY button. Caution: q The operation explained above will erase all data stored in memory including clock and timer settings, and tuner, MD and CD presets. NO YES Correct Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. [. . . ]
