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. ("Programme type" "WAITING") To cancel the EON stand-by mode: When in the EON stand-by mode, press the EON button. The EON stand-by mode will be cancelled. q When the unit switches automatically to "other network" station, if there is any problem with this station or the station cannot be received properly "WEAK SIG" will appear and the unit will return to the original station. q Even if the unit switches from the station you are listening to directly to one "other network" station which is in the preset memory, if the signal is very weak, the unit will search for another station of other network and find out the station with the strongest signal and switch to it. However, if the signals from all the other network stations are very weak, or if the tuning conditions are very bad (due to electrical noise), the unit will be displayed "WEAK SIG", and the unit will return to the original station you were receiving. 27 RECORDING s Differences from tape recordings You cannot record music on the reverse side of a MiniDisc. 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. [. . . ] 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.
