Tuning into a preset station

RDS OPERATIONS

What you can do with RDS EON
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. Another advantage of RDS function is called EON (Enhanced Other Networks). The EON indicator lights up while receiving an FM station with the EON data. By using the EON data sent from a station, you can tune into a different station of a different network broadcasting your favorite programme or traffic announcement while listening to another programme or to another source such as CD. By receiving the RDS signals, this unit can do the following: Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-tracking Reception) Standby Reception of TA (Traffic Announcement) or your favorite programme PTY (Program Type) search TA (Traffic Announcement) search And some other functions

Tracing the same programme automatically (NetworkTracking Reception)
When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically tunes in another RDS station, broadcasting the same programme with stronger signals. So, you can continue to listen to the same programme in its finest reception, no matter where you drive. (See illustration.) Two types of the RDS signals are used to make Network-Tracking Reception work correctly PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency) data. Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, NetworkTracking Reception will not operate.

TP RDS

To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and hold TP/RDS (Traffic Programme/Radio Data System) for more than 1 second. Each time you press and hold the button, Network-Tracking Reception modes change as follows:

Mode 1

Mode 2

Mode 3

Mode 1 (AF:on / REG:off)
Note: In this mode, the programme may differ from the one currently received. Mode 2 (AF:on / REG:on) Network-Tracking is activated with Regionalization set to on. Switches to another station, within the same network, broadcasting the same programme when the receiving signals from the current station become weak. Mode 3 (AF:off / REG:off) Network-Tracking is deactivated.
The same programme can be received on different frequencies.
Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency E Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency A
Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency B
Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency C
Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency D
Network-Tracking is activated with Regionalization set to off. Switches to another station within the same network when the receiving signals from the current station become weak.

Using Standby Reception

Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favorite programme (PTY: Programme Type) and Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM station, MD, CD, and other connected components). Note: Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station.

TA Standby Reception

When TP/RDS is pressed briefly in the FM mode, the TP indicator is lit during reception of a TP station and the TA standby mode is engaged. Note: When the station being received is not a TP station, the TP indicator flashes. Press to engage the TA standby mode. SEARCH appears on the or 4 display, and TP station search starts. When a TP station is tuned in, the TP indicator is lit. If you are listening to a CD or an MD, and wish to hear a TA broadcast, press TP/RDS to enter the TA standby mode. (The TP indicator lights up.) If a TA programme starts broadcasting while the TA standby mode is active, TRAFFIC appears and the FM mode is engaged. The volume increases to the preset TA VOLUME level and the TA programme can be heard (see page 16). Note: To deactivate the TA standby mode, press TP/RDS again.

Selected code name appears on the display. If the code already stored in memory is selected, it will flash on the display.
Press and hold the number button for more than 2 seconds to store the PTY code selected into the preset number you want.
PTY preset number appears, and selected code name and MEMORY alternate on the display.
To search your favorite programme type
Press and hold the button for more than 1 second while listening to an FM station.
The last selected PTY code and preset number appear.
Select one of PTY codes stored in the preset number buttons (1 to 6).
Ex. When CLASSICS is stored in preset number button 2.
PTY search for your favorite programme starts after 5 seconds. If there is a station broadcasting a programme of the same PTY code you selected, that station is tuned in. If there is no station broadcasting a programme of the same PTY code you selected, the station will not change. Note: In some areas, the PTY search will not work correctly.
Other convenient RDS functions
Automatic selection of the station when using the number buttons
Usually when you press the number button, the preset station is tuned in. However, when the preset station is an RDS station, something different will happen. If the signals from that preset station are not sufficient for good reception, this unit starts searching another station broadcasting the same programme as the original preset station is broadcasting, then if any station broadcasting the same programme is found, the station will be tuned in.
Changing the display mode while listening to an FM station
You can change the initial indication on the display to either station name (PS) or to station frequency, while listening to an FM RDS station. See also Changing the general settings (PSM) on page 31. 1. Press and hold SEL (select) for more than 2 seconds so that PSM appears on the lower part of the display. 2. Select DISPLAY MODE with or 4. 3. Set to the desired indication (either station name or station frequency) with the control dial. Note: By pressing DISP, you can also change the display while listening to an FM RDS station. Each time you press the button, the display changes to show the following:
Setting the TA volume level
You can preset the volume level for TA Standby Reception. When a traffic programme is received, the volume level automatically changes to the preset level. See also Changing the general settings (PSM) on page 31. 1. Press and hold SEL (select) for more than 2 seconds so that PSM appears on the lower part of the display. 2. Select TA VOLUME with or 4. 3. Set to the desired volume level with the control dial.
