Turn the knob clockwise to step up the
station band or counterclockwise to
step down.
Your radio automatically changes to stereo
reception when a stereo broadcast is re-
ceived. “ST” appears on the screen. If the
signal becomes weak, the radio reduces
the amount of channel separation to pre-
vent the weak signal from creating noise.
If the signal becomes extremely weak, the
radio switches from stereo to mono recep-
tion. In this case, “ST” disappears from the
screen.
Presetting a station
1. Tune in the desired station.
2. Touch one of the channel selector
touch screen buttons (1 — 6) you want
and hold it until a beep is heard.
This sets the station to the button and the
frequency appears on the touch−screen
button.
Each radio mode can store up to 6 station-
s. To change the preset station to a differ-
ent one, follow the same procedure.
The preset station memory is cancelled
when the power source is interrupted by
battery disconnection or a blown fuse.

RDS (Radio Data System)
Your audio system is equipped with Radio
Data Systems (RDS). RDS mode allows
you to receive text messages from radio
stations that utilize RDS transmitters.
When RDS is on, the radio can
— select only stations of a particular pro-
gram type,
— display messages from radio stations,
— search for a stronger signal station.
RDS features are available for use only on
FM stations which broadcast RDS infor-
mation.
If the system receives no RDS stations,
“NO PTY” appears on the display.

(f) Operating a DVD disc
NOTE: The playback condition of some
DVD discs may be determined by a DVD
software producer. This DVD changer
plays a disc as the software producer in-
tended. So some functions may not work
properly. Be sure to read the instruction
manual for the DVD disc separately pro-
vided. For the detailed information about
DVD video discs, see “(g) DVD player and
DVD video disc information” on page 231.
Precautions on DVD video disc
When recording with a DVD video, DVD
audio or video CD, audio tracks may not
record in some cases while the menu is
displayed. As audio will not play in this
case, verify that the video tracks are play-
ing and then activate playback.
When playback of a disc is completed:
If an audio CD or MP3/WMA disc is
playing, the first track or file starts.
If a DVD video, DVD audio or video CD
is playing, playback will stop or the
menu screen will be displayed.
The title/chapter number and playback
time display may not appear while playing
back certain DVD video discs.
CAUTION
Conversational speech on some
DVDs is recorded at a low volume to
emphasize the impact of sound ef-
fects. If you adjust the volume as-
suming that the conversations repre-
sent the maximum volume level that
the DVD will play, you may be startled
by louder sound effects or when you
change to a different audio source.
The louder sounds may have a signif-
icant impact on the human body or
pose a driving hazard. Keep this in
mind when you adjust the volume.
This “DVD Hint!” screen appears when
the video screen is first displayed after
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in
the ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON
