and track names.

This information is recorded on the disc.

Precautions

This label is located on the bottom of the

chassis.

This label is located on the drive unit’s internal

chassis.

• If your car was parked in direct sunlight

resulting in a considerable rise in

temperature inside the car, allow the unit to

cool off before operating it.

• If no power is being supplied to the unit,

check the connections first. If everything is in

order, check the fuse.

•If your car is equipped with a power aerial, it

will extend automatically while the unit is

operating.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit that are not covered in

this manual, please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

Moisture Condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area,

moisture may condense on the lenses inside

the unit. Should this occur, the unit will not

operate properly. In such a case, remove the

disc and wait for about an hour until the

moisture has evaporated.

To maintain high quality sound

If you have drink holders near your audio

equipment, be careful not to splash juice or

other soft drinks onto the unit and CD. Sugary

residues on the unit or CD may contaminate

the lenses inside the unit, reduce the sound

quality, or prevent sound reproduction

altogether.

RDS

Overview of the RDS

function

Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting

service that allows FM stations to send

additional digital information along with the

regular radio programme signal. Your car

stereo offers you a variety of services. Here are

just a few: retuning the same programme

automatically, listening to traffic

announcements, and locating a station by

programme type.

Notes

• Depending on the country or region, not all of

the RDS functions are available.

• RDS may not work properly if the signal strength

is weak or if the station you are tuned to is not

transmitting RDS data.

Displaying the station

name

The name of the current station lights up in the

display.

Select an FM station (page 16).

When you tune in an FM station that

transmits RDS data, the station name

appears in the display.

Note

The “*” indication means that an RDS station is

being received.

Changing the displayed item

Each time you press (DSPL/PTY), the item

changes as follows:

Station Name (Frequency) y PTY data

After you select the desired item, the display

will automatically change to the Motion

Display mode after a few seconds.

In the Motion Display mode, all the items are

scrolled in the display one by one in order.

Tip

The Motion Display mode can be turned off. (See

“Changing the sound and display settings” on

page 24.)

Note

“NO NAME” appears if the received station does

not transmit RDS data.

Retuning the same

programme automatically

— Alternative Frequencies (AF)

The Alternative Frequencies (AF) function

automatically selects and retunes the station

with the strongest signal in a network. By

using this function, you can continuously

listen to the same programme during a long-

distance drive without having to retune the

station manually.

1 Select an FM station (page 16).

2 Press (AF) repeatedly until “AF-ON”

appears.

The unit starts searching for an alternative

station with a stronger signal in the same

network.

Station

98.5MHz

102.5MHz

96.0MHz

Frequencies change automatically.

18

Local link function

(United Kingdom only)

The Local Link function lets you select other

local stations in the area, even if they are not

stored on your number buttons.

1 Press a number button that has a local

station stored on it.

2 Within five seconds, press the number

button of the local station again.

3 Repeat this procedure until the desired

local station is received.

Listening to traffic

announcements

The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic

Programme (TP) data lets you automatically

tune in an FM station that is broadcasting

traffic announcements even if you are listening

to other programme sources.

Press (TA) repeatedly until “TA-ON”

appears.

The unit starts searching for traffic

information stations. “TP” appears in the

display when the unit finds a station

broadcasting traffic announcements.

When the traffic announcement starts,

“TA” flashes. The flashing stops when the

traffic announcement is over.

Tip

If the traffic announcement starts while you are

listening to another programme source, the unit

automatically switches to the announcement and

goes back to the original source when the

announcement is over.

Notes

• When there is no alternative station in the area

and you do not need to search for an alternative

station, turn the AF function off by pressing

(AF) repeatedly until “AF-OFF” appears.

• When “NO AF” and the station name flash

alternately, it means that the unit cannot find an

alternative station in the network.

• If the station name starts flashing after selecting

a station with the AF function on, this indicates

that no alternative frequency is available. Press

either side of (SEEK/AMS) while the station name

is flashing (within eight seconds). The unit starts

searching for another frequency with the same PI

(Programme Identification) data (“PI SEEK”

appears and no sound is heard). If the unit

cannot find another frequency, “NO PI” appears,

and the unit returns to the previously selected

frequency.

Listening to a regional programme

The “REG-ON” (regional on) function lets you

stay tuned to a regional programme without

being switched to another regional station.

(Note that you must turn the AF function on.)

The unit is factory preset to “REG-ON,” but if

you want to turn off the function, do the

following.

1 During radio reception, press (MENU),

then press either side of (DISC/PRST)

repeatedly until “REG” appears.

2 Press the (+) side of (SEEK/AMS) until

“REG-OFF” appears.

3 Press (ENTER).

Note that selecting “REG-OFF” might cause

the unit to switch to another regional

station within the same network.

To return to regional on, select “REG-ON” in

step 2.

Note

This function does not work in the United

Kingdom and in some other areas.

19

Notes

• “NO TP” flashes for five seconds if the received

station does not broadcast traffic

announcements. Then, the unit starts searching

for a station that broadcasts it.

• When “EON” appears with “TP” in the display,

the current station makes use of broadcast traffic

announcement of other stations in the same

network.

To cancel the current traffic

announcement

Press (TA), (SOURCE) or (MODE).

To cancel all traffic announcements, turn off

the function by pressing (TA) until “TA-

OFF” appears.

Presetting the volume of traffic

announcements

You can preset the volume level of the traffic

announcements beforehand so you won’t miss

the announcement. When a traffic

announcement starts, the volume will be

automatically adjusted to the preset level.

1 Turn the volume control dial to adjust

the desired volume level.

2 Press (TA) for two seconds.

“TA” appears and the setting is stored.

Receiving emergency

announcements

If an emergency announcement comes in while

you are listening to the radio, the programme

will be automatically switched to it. If you are

listening to a source other than the radio, the

emergency announcements will be heard if

you set AF or TA to ON. The unit will then

automatically switch to these announcements

no matter which source you are listening to at

the time.

Presetting the RDS

stations with the AF and

TA data

When you preset RDS stations, the unit stores

each station’s data as well as its frequency, so

you don’t have to turn on the AF or TA

function every time you tune in the preset

station. You can select a different setting (AF,

TA, or both) for individual preset stations, or

the same setting for all preset stations.

Presetting the same setting for all

preset stations

1 Select an FM band (page 15).

2 Press (AF) and/or (TA) to select “AF-ON”

and/or “TA-ON.”

Note that selecting “AF-OFF” or “TA-OFF”

stores not only RDS stations, but also

non-RDS stations.

3 Press (MENU), then press either side of

(DISC/PRST) repeatedly until “BTM”

appears.

4 Press the (+) side of (SEEK/AMS) until

“BTM” flashes.

5 Press (ENTER).

Presetting different settings for

each preset station

1 Select an FM band, and tune in the

desired station (page 16).

2 Press (AF) and/or (TA) to select “AF-ON”

and/or “TA-ON.”

3 Press the desired number button until

“MEM” appears.

Repeat from step 1 to preset other stations.
