MEMORY TUNING

Your radio has two AM memory groups (A1 and A2) and three FM groups (F1,
F2, and F3).  You can store up to six stations in each memory group.

You can let the radio search for the next six stations on the band and
automatically enter them into a memory group, or you can enter stations
into a memory group manually.

Tune to a stored station y selecting the memory group and pressing the
correct memory location button.

You can also scan the stations in a memory group.


Storing Stations Automatically

1.  Turn on the radio.

2.  Press BAND to select the desired band and memory group.  For example,
    select A1 to store the first group of AM stations.

3.  Tune to the station which appears on the band immediately before the
    first station you want to store in memory.

4.  Press and hold down AMS for 3 seconds.  The system scans the selected
    band and then stores the next six strong stations.  The memory location
    number and the station's frequency appear on the display for each
    stored station.

When it finishes storing stations, the radio begins scanning all stored
stations.  The channel number flashes and the radio tunes to each station
for 5 seconds.

Note:  The radio scans once for storing stations, twice for weaker
stations and three times for weak stations.  After that if all memory
locations are not full, it continues storing previously stored stations
until all locations are full.

    momentarily mutes.

The memory location number and the station's frequency appear on the
display for each stored station.


Scanning Stored Stations

Press BAND to select the desired band and memory group.  Press MS to scan
the stored stations in that group.  The radio scans the stored stations,
pausing for 5 seconds at each station.  When the radio pauses at a station
you want to listen to, press MS again.

stations into memory.


PLAYING A CD

Cautions:

*  The CD player has a wide dynamic range.  As a result, if you turn your
   CD player's volume too high during soft (low volume) sections of a
   program, you might damage your speakers when a sudden loud passage
   occurs.

*  if the CD player is jolted during play, the rotation speed might
   suddenly change or the CD player might make an unusual noise.  This
   is not a malfunction.

1.  Insert a compact disc (label side up) in the slot.  The CD player
    turns on and starts to play the CD.

If a CD is already in the CD player, press >double bar to play the CD.

2.  Adjust VOLUME, BALANCE, BASS, TREBLE, and FADER as desired.

3.  To fast-forward through the selections on the CD, press TUNE/SEARCH
    >>.  To reverse the CD, press << TUNE/SEARCH.

   To change to the next or previous track, press >>bar or bar<<.

   To pause playback, press >double bar.  To resume play, press
   bar<<, >>bar, <<, >>, or >double bar.


Eject

Press EJ.  The disc ejects and the radio turns on automatically (if it
was on before you played a CD).  If you do not remove the CD, it reloads
automatically after five seconds.


Intro Scan

The into scan feature lets you scan a CD by playing the first 10 seconds
of each track.

Press INTO to scan the tracks of the current CD.  INT and the number of
the next track appear on the display and the track plays for 10 seconds.
The CD player advances to the next track, plays the track for 10 seconds,
then advances to the next track, plays it for 10 seconds, and so on.

To cancel into scan, press INTRO.  INT disappears from the display and the
CD player resumes normal play of the current track.

Repeat Play

You can play a selected track repeatedly.  Simply press REPEAT while the
track you want to repeat is playing.  RPT appears on the display and the
CD player repeats the track.  To cancel repeat play, press REPEAT again.
