Using the RDS Functions

What is RDS?
RDS (radio data system) is a system for transmitting data along with FM programs. This data, which is inaudible, provides a variety of features such as: program service name, program type display, traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning and program type tuning, intended to aid radio listeners in tuning to a desired station. Note:
RDS service may not be provided by all stations. RDS functions, like AF (alternative frequencies search) and TA (traffic announcement standby), are only active when your radio is tuned to RDS stations.
Alternative frequency function
The AF (alternative frequencies search) function is used to search for other frequencies in the same network as the currently tuned station. It automatically retunes the receiver to another frequency in the network which is broadcasting a stronger signal when there are problems with reception of the currently tuned station or better reception is possible on a different frequency. Note:
AF tunes the receiver only to RDS stations when you use seek tuning or BSM auto memory with the AF indicator ON. When you recall a preset station, the tuner may update the preset station with a new frequency from the stations AF list. (This is only available when using presets on the FM-1 and FM-2 bands.) No preset number appears on the display if the RDS data for the station received differs from that for the originally stored station. Sound may be temporarily interrupted by another program during an AF frequency search. When the tuner is tuned to a non-RDS station, the AF indicator flashes. AF can be switched ON or OFF independently for each FM band.

If you switched TA function ON when you are tuned in to neither a TP nor enhanced other networks TP station, only T in TRAFFIC indicator is displayed.
Repeat the preceding operation when no traffic announcement is being received to deactivate the TA function. Note:
The system switches back to the original source following traffic announcement reception. The TA function can be activated from sources other than tuner if the tuner was last set to the FM band but not if it was last set to the MW/LW band. If the tuner was last set to FM, turning on the TA function lets you operate other tuning functions while listening to sources other than tuner. Only TP or enhanced other networks TP stations are tuned in during the seek tuning mode when the 3TRAFFIC or T indicator is ON. Only TP or enhanced other networks TP stations are stored by BSM when the 3TRAFFIC or T indicator is ON.
Canceling traffic announcements
Press the TA button while a traffic announcement is being received to cancel the announcement and return to the original source.
The announcement is canceled but the tuner remains in the TA mode until the TA button is pressed again.

Adjusting the TA volume

When a traffic announcement begins, the volume adjusts automatically to a preset level to enable you to hear the announcement clearly.
Set the volume by adjusting it during reception of a traffic announcement.
The newly set volume is stored in memory and recalled for subsequent traffic announcements.

TP alarm function

About 30 seconds after the 3TRAFFIC indicator turns to T due to a weak signal, a 5 second beep sounds to remind you to select another TP or enhanced other networks TP station.
If you are listening to the tuner, tune in another TP station or enhanced other networks TP station.
In sources other than tuner, the tuner automatically seeks out the TP station with the strongest signal in the current area 10 (or 30)* seconds after the 3TRAFFIC indicator turns to T. * Time taken before Seek begins.
TA function ON TA, AF functions ON 10 seconds 30 seconds

Regional function

When AF is used to retune the tuner automatically, the regional function limits the selection to stations broadcasting regional programs. Note:
Regional programming and regional networks are organized differently depending on the country (i.e., they may change according to the hour, state or broadcast area). The preset number may disappear on the display if the tuner tunes in a regional station which differs from the originally set station.
Activating the regional function
The regional function can be turned ON independently for each FM band.
Press the FUNCTION button 5 on tuner setting screen switches the regional function ON/OFF.

Radio text

This tuner can display radio text data transmitted by RDS stations, such as station information, the name of the currently broadcast song and the name of the artist. Note:

When radio text is received, the RT indicator lights. The tuner automatically memorizes the three latest radio text broadcasts received, replacing text from the least recent reception with new text when it is received. You can store data from up to six radio text transmissions in FUNCTION buttons 1 to 6.

Not only does this headunit sound stunning, it also looks luxurious with a deep black hairline aluminium finish.
Sound master clock circuits curb distortion
The RS-D7RII incorporates two ultra-precise sound master clock circuits, which thoroughly eliminate jitter. One clock circuit is dedicated to the SRC (Sampling Rate Converter), DIT (Digital Interface Transmitter) and other digital signal processing circuits, while the second is designated for the CD mechanism. This improvement ensures maximum accuracy of the master clock, not only for digital signal reading but also for transmission. More than ever, music is reproduced with crystal clarity.
Superb user interface with OEL display and remote controller
The RS-D7RII features a dazzling white OEL display. Its smart functionality lets you control and confirm operating information at a glance. This sophisticated interface also offers comprehensive control, quick display response, and high contrast and brightness even in direct sunlight. The wireless remote controller has been designed for maximum functionality and easy use with the system. The remote slides open to reveal number keys, and soft keys on the headunit display appear to aid guidance of all functions. Thanks to the twin cross control keys, the headunit and the remote controller can simultaneously operate different functions: CD tracks can be changed via the cross key of the main unit, while the remote controller is used to adjust the Disc Title Memory display equaliser or network.

A luxurious fascia design
The RS-D7RII will bring a touch of class to upscale car interiors. The design has been renewed with a rich black aluminium fascia and a fine hairline finish. A brushed spinning effect is applied to the volume knob and cross key, giving it a further distinguished look. The bright white OEL display contrasts beautifully with the dark aluminium. Whats more, you have the choice of white or red for the LED button illumination for a perfect match to your car interior.

Highly accurate CD mechanism for pure signal reading
Developed exclusively for use with the RS-A9 and the RS-P90, this CD mechanism is the best quality possible. Every detail was considered to ensure that the music signal read from the CD is completely accurate, with virtually no vibration or noise to affect the signal. The quality of the whole system depends on it. The high-precision data pick-up has the capability to read the utmost subtlest music signals; even after hours of continuous reproduction and high heat, reliability is maintained thanks to a stable hologram technique and laser diode. The chassis is copper-plated to avoid magnetic induction noise. The clamper is made of high-performance damping material (M2052 damping alloy), which prevents degradation of the digital signal by minimising the pick-up control current caused by disc vibration. An enhanced high torque spindle motor stabilises the sound quality more quickly, if revolution changes during start-up or external influences affect playback. All these improvements contribute to a highly stable and pure digital audio signal with reproduction High-quality CD mechanism of all the fine details.
More natural sound with Hi-bit conversion
Unfortunately, some of the micro-elements are lost with the 16-bit CD audio signal. Hi-bit conversion re-quantises the 16-bit digital data from a CD into 24 bits; consequently, the resolution is enhanced, offering an impressive S/N ratio and a wider dynamic range. This technology serves to restore the lost elements and reproduce a more nuanced, natural sound closer to the original performance. The hi-bit system transmits the 24-bit digital audio signal to digital processors of the RS-A9 or RS-P90, so there is absolutely no distortion or deterioration of the waveform and pure audio quality is maintained.

RS-A9 DIGITAL INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER
With its digital signal processing, equaliser and network control functions, Pioneers RS-A9 Digital Integrated Amplifier really is a cut above the rest. These high-performance functions put you in total control of your sound stage. With this smart unit, you can finally create a perfectly fine-tuned system in your car. An optical digital input allows the amp to connect digitally to the RS-D7RII System Control CD Tuner, preserving the highest quality of the audio signal and forming a pure digital system. The unit also includes 3 digital outputs so that you can easily combine it with one or more additional RS-A7 Digital Power Amplifiers to drive the speakers with the utmost sonic purity. It is suited especially for tweeters and midrange speakers, bringing out the clear and smooth tone of delicate strings. This amplifiers thoroughly engineered design and specialised parts further ensure high-quality sound and a true digital signal. Now you can enjoy the same class of music you get from your high-end home audio unit whilst on the move.
Powerful 32-bit floating-point SHARC Digital Signal Processors
The digital network of the RS-A9 amplifier features 3 ultra-high-performance 32-bit floating-point SHARC digital signal processors (DSP). Three sets of DSP were necessary to implement the independent left-channel signal processing and right-channel signal processing, and the advanced operation coefficient processing. The capacity of these DSPs is several times that of conventional ones, which was needed to support the FIR filter. Moreover, through the use of a 32-bit floating-point DSP, the small signal truncating effects of fixedpoint DSPs are avoided, thereby significantly improving the dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio.
Linear phase and minimum delay
In the RS-A9 amplifiers FIR filter, two types of response characteristics, linear phase and minimum delay, can be chosen. In linear phase, the delay through the filter is the same at all frequencies, so there is no phase distortion. At the crossing point of a crossover network, the exact phase characteristic is acquired as a direct wave from the speaker, also when time alignment is used. This results in a more natural sound stage in the cabin. Regarding time response characteristics, if the signal crosses at low-pass, linear phase results in a pre-echo and a delay of about 0.2 seconds between the FIR filter input and output. With minimum delay, there is no pre-echo or straight phase delay; however, there is phase rotation and surges at the crossing point of a crossover network. Therefore, linear phase is recommended for systems when there is no crossover on the low frequency. Minimum delay has the advantage of reduced delay, so better synchronisation of images and sound is realised, useful for audio-visual systems.

SHARC Digital Signal Processor

FIR filter

A FIR filter has been integrated into the RS-A9 amplifier as a signal processing function for the crossover network and graphic equaliser. As a result the digital sound stage controls and equalisation are based on highly accurate processing, to achieve the ideal listening environment in the cabin. Although a FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter has various advantages over a conventional IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filter, such as excellent phase and time response characteristics, it requires a larger DSP capacity hence, the three 32-bit floating-point SHARC digital signal processors (DSP). FIR filters also have the advantage of more accurate and efficient calculation methods than IIR filters. This amplifier also uses a sufficient number of FIR taps (memory or filtering capacity), so there is less ripple and more stopband attenuation.
L/R independent 4-way digital crossover network
The left/right independent 4-way (low, mid, high, subwoofer) digital crossover network is indispensable for the ultimate tuning of a system. The RS-A9 uses digital controls to obtain the ideal settings of the cut-off frequency, slope and phase for each band. Settings can also be manually adjusted while you listen to the music, and confirmed in real time on the display. The built-in crossover network enhances the flexibility of the adjustment and allows for the most precise sound tuning.

Full Balanced Pure Digital System
These amplifiers preserve the digital signal received from the RS-D7RII control CD tuner with the utmost purity thanks to the optical digital connection from the CD tuner to the RS-A9, and then if connected, to one or more RS-A7 units. If the amplifier is used in bridge connection, it will become a full balanced pure digital system. When the D/A converter of one channel operates in reverse, the circuit composition is perfectly balanced from digital output to speaker output. Common mode noise is sharply diminished and high S/N and high dynamic range can be realised.

L/R independent 31-band digital graphic equaliser and L/R independent 3-band digital parametric equaliser

Time Alignment

The RS-A9s Time Alignment function adjusts the speaker sound output timing so that the sound from each speaker reaches the listener at the exact same time. The sound output can be adjusted in 7.7 mm steps, based on the distance between the listener and each speaker unit. This assures clear sound positioning to create the ideal sound stage. Then, the Position Fine Tuning function automatically adjusts the output timing and level from each speaker based on the number and the position of the people in the cabin. You can have your sound exactly the way you like it, whatever your positioning.

Response (dB)

The imperfect acoustic conditions of the cabin irregular shape, narrow space, reflection of interior materials can cause peaks and dips in the frequency. Often dips occur in the middle range while peaks hit around 200 Hz and 2 kHz. The RS-A9 uses a high-performance left/right independent 31-band digital graphic equaliser and a left/right independent 3-band digital parametric equaliser. Both equaliser functions allow precise adjustment of the frequency range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz (1/3 octave) and sound pressure level by 0.5 dB steps. Two preset and three user memory positions are available in order to store favourite settings. The fine adjustments realise a flatter frequency and therefore improved acoustic properties for superlative smooth sound.
