  • Page 17 The tuner can receive both FM and AM broadcasts, and lets you memorize your favorite stations so you don't have to manually tune in every time you want to listen. Here we run through the basic tuner controls, including switching between AM and FM, and tuning to a station.

  • Page 22 If you've set up more than a couple of station memories, you'll probably want to give them names that are a little more memorable than ‘FM 108.00’. Normally, of course, the name will be that of the radio station. ¢ SYSTEM CANCEL MENU...
  • Page 23 Radio Data System, or RDS as it's usually known, is a system used by FM radio stations to provide listeners with various information—the name of the station and the kind of show they're broadcasting, for example.

  • Page 26 The tape deck features auto-reverse, Dolby B NR (noise reduction) and auto tape select. The auto-reverse feature lets you play or record both sides of the tape without physically taking it out and turning it over. Dolby B NR reduces tape hiss on tapes recorded using Dolby NR (which includes almost all commercially recorded tapes).
  • Page 27 The tape deck can play both sides of a tape without you having to take the cassette out and turning it over by hand. This feature is called auto-reverse (because to play the other side of the tape, the tape travels in the opposite direction). You can switch sides any time while playing a tape by pressing the tape button.
  • Page 28 You can make tape recordings from any other component in the system, and also from an external component connected to the auxiliary inputs. If you're recording from CD or the optional CD-Recorder, it's usually most convenient to use the synchro-recording mode. This makes the process largely automatic with the system starting and stopping the recording for you.

For example, you might want to record a program on the radio that is broadcast while you're at work.

  • Page 31 You can set the record timer together with the wake-up timer (described on page 32)— to record a radio program with the record timer, then later start playing a CD at the time set by the wake-up timer, for example.

  • Page 34 This system is designed for use with conventional, fully circular CDs only. Use of shaped CDs is not recommended. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped CDs. The tape of a cassette is quite easily damaged and loose tape can jam in the tape deck mechanism.
  • Page 35 Avoid using dry-type cassette head cleaners. Some cassette head cleaners are not designed to work with auto-reverse decks and may become jammed in the mechanism — ask your Pioneer authorized service centre for details. After using the head cleaner, leave the unit for 2–3 minutes before playing a tape.
