Presetting

The preset buttons allow you to store radio frequencies for later selection.
Each button will store one frequency
on the AM band, and two on the FM

band.

To store a frequency:
1. Select the desired band, AM or FM. FM1 and FM2 let you store
two frequencies with each Preset

button.

2. Use the TUNE or SEEK function to tune the radio to a desired
station.

3. Pick the Preset button you want for that station. Press the button
and hold it until you hear a beep.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to store a total of six stations on AM and twelve
on FM.

Once that station's frequency is
stored, simply press and release the
proper preset button to tune to it. If
you want to change any preset button's selection, store another fre-

quency as described. The frequen-

cies you preset will be lost if your
car's battery goes dead or is discon-

nected.
The AUTO SELECT function allows
you to find stations easily when youare in an unfamiliar area. Press the
AUTO SELECT button. The system automatically scans both bands to
find six strong stations on AM and twelve on FM, and stores their
frequencies in the Preset buttons.
You can then use the Preset buttons in the normal manner to select thosestations. "A SEL" stays displayed
next to the frequency as a reminder.
If you are in a remote area, AUTO
SELECT may not find enough stations to fill all the available
presets. If this is the case, you will see a "0" displayed when you press
any Preset button that does not have
a station stored. You cannot manually store radio
station frequencies in the Preset
buttons when AUTO SELECT is ON. If you do not like the stations found
by AUTO SELECT, you can still use
the TUNE or SEEK function to findother stations.
AUTO SELECT does not erase the stations you have manually preset.
When you return to your normal reception area, turn off AUTO
SELECT by pressing the buttonagain. The light goes out and the
Preset buttons can then select thestations you originally set.

Radio Frequencies
Your Honda's radio can tune in all frequencies in both the AM and FM

bands.

Those bands cover these frequen-
cies:

AM band:530 to 1,710 kilohertz
FM band:
87.7 to 107.9 megahertz
Radio stations on the AM band are
assigned frequencies at least 10
kilohertz apart (530, 540, 550).
Those on the FM band are assigned frequencies at least 0.2 megahertz
apart (87.9, 88.1, 88.3).
Stations must use these exact
frequencies. It is fairly common forstations to round-off the frequency in
their advertising, so your radio will show a frequency of 100.9 even
though the announcer may call the
station "FM101."

Operating the CD Player
(Optional)
A Compact Disc changer is available for your car. It holds up to six discs,
providing several hours of continu-ous programming. You operate the
CD changer with the same controls
used for the radio and cassette
player.
Load the desired CD's in the
magazine and load the magazine in
the changer according to the
instructions that came with the unit.
Your dealer has Genuine Honda accessory in-dash CD players
available that are operated by the
radio controls. If you have one of
these units, use the directions in this section (except for multi-disc
selection) to operate it. To operate the CD changer, the
ignition key must be in ACCESSORY (I) or ON (II). If you are listening to
a cassette tape, eject it before
playing a CD.
Press the CD button until "CD" appears on the display. Once in the
CD mode, the system will start to
play the first track of the first disc in the magazine.
When that disc ends, the next disc in the magazine is loaded and played.
After disc 6 has completed, the system will return to disc 1. To make
your own disc selection, push one of the six preset buttons. Your selection
will appear in the display and start
playing.
U.S. EX model

You can use the TUNE/SEEK switch while a disc is playing to
select passages and change tracks.
To move rapidly forward within a track, push up and hold the TUNE/SEEK switch. Push down and hold
the switch to move rapidly backward
within a track. You will hear a beep a
half second after you push the switch up or down. Keep pushing the
switch until you think the track has
advanced or returned to the desired
position. The disc will start playing
when you release the switch.
If you push the TUNE/SEEK switch
up and release it before you hear a
beep, the system will skip forward to the beginning of the next track on
that CD.
It will skip backward to the begin-
ning of the current track if you push
the switch down and release it.

Theft Protection
On U.S. EX model Your car's audio system will disableitself if it is disconnected from
electrical power for any reason. Tomake it work again, the user must
enter a specific five-digit code in the
Preset buttons. Because there are
hundreds of number combinations
possible from five digits, making the system work without knowing the
exact code is nearly impossible.
You should have received a card that lists your audio system's code
number and serial number. It is best
to store this card in a safe place at
home, or to keep it in your wallet or
purse. In addition, you should write
the audio system's serial number in
this Owner's Manual. If you should
happen to lose the card, you must obtain the code number from your
Honda dealer. To do this, you will
need the system's serial number. If your car's battery is disconnected
or goes dead, the audio system will
disable itself. If this happens, you
will see "Code" in the frequency display the next time you turn on the
system. Use the Preset buttons to
enter the five-digit code. If it is
entered correctly, the radio will start

playing.

If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over or try to
correct your mistake. Complete the
five-digit sequence, then enter the correct code. You have three tries to
enter the correct code. If you are
unsuccessful in three attempts, you must then leave the system on for
one hour before trying again. You will have to store your favorite
stations in the Preset buttons after
the system begins working. Your original settings were lost when
power was disconnected.

Battery

If you need to connect the battery to
a charger, disconnect both cables to
prevent damage to the car's electri-
cal system.
On the U.S. EX model

If your car's battery is disconnected
or goes dead, the audio system will
disable itself. The next time you turn
on the radio you will see "Code" in
the frequency display. Use the
Preset buttons to enter the five-digit
code (see page 106).
Charging the battery with the cables
connected can seriously damage your
car's electronic controls. Detach the

battery cables before connecting the

battery to a charger.

Maintenance

The battery gives off explosive
hydrogen gas during normal
operation.
A spark or flame can cause the battery to explode with enough
force to kill or seriously hurt you.
Wear protective clothing and a
face shield, or have a skilled mechanic do the battery
maintenance.
