MSG (Message)
This button is used to display a radio text
message. It is also used to store and
recall radio text messages.
To receive radio text, turn RDS on (see
RDSº), and tune to an RDS station that
broadcasts radio text messages. When the
radio receives a radio test message,
MSGº will appear on the display. Push
this button at this time to display the radio
text message. The message display will
be canceled if you activate any function
that affects the display. After the entire
message has been displayed, the mes-
sage will disappear. To view the message
again, push this button a second time.
To store a radio text message, push and
hold this button for more than 1.7 seconds
while the message is being displayed. A
beep will sound, indicating that the mes-
sage has been stored. At this time MSG
STOREDº appears on the display. Up to
three 64- character messages can be
stored. If 3 messages are already in stor-
age, the oldest message will be removed
to make room for a new message.To recall a radio text message, push this
button for less than 1.7 seconds. The
most recently received stored message
will appear on the display, even if it has
already been displayed. Pushing this but-
ton for less than 1.7 seconds while the
most recent message is being displayed
will recall the newest stored message. If
2 or more messages have been stored,
the other stored messages will be toggled
through each time you push this button
(while a stored message is on display).
If no messages have been stored, or if
there are no more messages to be re-
called, NO MSG STOREDº will appear on
the display, and the message display will
be canceled. The display then returns to
show the program service name. The
message display will be canceled if you
activate any function that affects the dis-
play.
Message display can be canceled by
pressing any of the following buttons:
AMº, FMº, CDº, TAPEº, LOADº,
SEEKº, TUNEº, any preset, SCANº, any
audio control, RDSº, SRCHº, or  TYPES>º. If the current station is not a
traffic program and traffic announcements
is off, pushing TRAFº will cancel the dis-
play. The message will be canceled after
the entire message has been displayed. (Program Types)
This button is used for program type
(PTY) search of RDS stations. 32 program
types are available as listed here.
By pushing this button, RDS is turned on
if it was off (RDSº will display), and the
radio is switched to FM type mode. If
program type search has not previously
performed, the radio will start a program
type search (see SRCHº for details on
program type search).
If a program type search has previously
been performed in FM1 or FM2, the radio
will return to the last active program type.
If you are already in FM type mode and
a program type is not already being dis-
played, pushing this button will recall the
display for the current program type.
After a program type is being displayed,
subsequent pushes within 3 seconds will
toggle through the available program
types. Pushing the right or left arrows
repeatedly will increment or decrement the
display through the available program
types in alphabetical order.
If a type search was started, it can be
canceled as described in SRCH.º

When counting the number of tracks you
want to rewind, remember to count the
current track as well. For example, if you
want to rewind to a song that is two be-
fore the song you are listening to, push
on the down side of the button until REW
3º appears on the display.
If you have pushed the track button more
than you wanted to, push the other side
of the button. The track number will be
reduced.
The track number you select is not valid
if it is higher than the number of tracks
remaining on the current cassette side.
After the beginning of the tape is
reached, the player will automatically
start playing the same side.
After the end of the tape is reached,
the player will automatically reverse
sides and start playing the other side.
There must be at least 3 seconds of blank
space between tracks for the track button
to work correctly. In addition, the feature
may not work well with some spoken
word, live, or classical recordings. SRCH (Search)
This button allows you to search all avail-
able RDS stations out of the entire FM
band and sort them by program type (see
º for details on program
types).
By pushing this button, RDS is turned on
if it was off (RDSº will display). The radio
is switched to FM type mode. During the
program type search, SEARCHING
....º will
show on the display. Also at this time,
FMº and TYPEº will appear on the dis-
play to indicate that the preset buttons are
for program type presets.
After searching for all available RDS sta-
tions, the radio will activate the previously
active program type. If the previously ac-
tive program type is not available, or if
the radio has not yet performed a program
type search, the radio will activate the
first program type, in alphabetical order,
that has stations in memory. The radio will
preset the stations of the current program
type into the preset buttons. If more than 6 stations of a program type
are found, the radio will create a second
bank of presets, such as Rock 1º and
Rock 2º. These are accessible through
the º button. If more than
12 stations are found, the radio will load
the 12 strongest stations of the program
type into the presets.
After the search is complete, the radio will
display the number of RDS stations found
for 3 seconds: for example, Found 19
RDS.º The radio will then display the se-
lected program type for 3 seconds: for
example, ROCK.º After the program type
has been displayed for 3 seconds, the
radio will display the program type name
for 3 seconds. After that, the radio will
display the program service name.
Day mode (headlights off): The radio will
only display the number of presets that
have a frequency for the selected program
type. For example, if program type Rock
is selected, and there are three rock sta-
tions, only preset numbers 1, 2 and 3 will
be displayed. The remaining preset num-
bers will not be displayed and the remain-
ing presets will have no function.
Night mode (headlights on): In addition to
the display described for day mode, the
radio will illuminate the jewels of the pre-
sets that have stations available. The re-
maining presets will have no function.
