English CONNECTIONS ANTENNA CONNECTIONS ● ● Each antenna should be connected to the designated terminals correctly, referring to the following figure. Both AM and FM indoor antennas are included with this unit. In general, these antennas will probably provide sufficient signal strength. Nevertheless, a properly installed outdoor antenna will give clearer reception than an indoor one. If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna may result in improvement.
Before attempting to make any connections to or from this unit, be sure to first switch OFF the power to this unit and to any other components to which connections are being made. AUDIO CONNECTIONS When making connections between this unit and other components, be sure all connections are made correctly, that is to say L (left) to L, R (right) to R, “+” to “+” and “–” to “–”.

RECEIVING RDS STATIONS RX-485 RDS and RX-385 RDS only RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced by FM stations in many countries. Stations using this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal. RDS data contains various information, such as AF (Alternative Frequencies for the same program station), PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service station name), PTY (Program Type name), etc.
English To turn the unit into the PS mode or PTY mode Press the FREQ/PS/PTY button. Whenever pressed, the mode changes into the PS mode, PTY mode and returns to usual mode in turn. * When an RDS station is received, the display is automatically turned into the PS mode.

Calling the best quality RDS station which broadcasts the same program (AF SEEK) This function automatically searches for and calls another RDS station of the best reception quality which broadcasts the same program now you are listening to. This function utilizes AF (Alternative Frequencies for the same program station) and PI (Program Identification) of RDS data service. The search is carried out among the RDS network stations. 2, 3 1 2 Tune to a desired RDS station.
The remote control transmitter provided with this unit is designed to control all the most commonly used functions of the unit.
