RDS OPERATIONS

What you can do with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular programme signals. For example, the stations

ENGLISH

send their station names, as well as information about what type of programme they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. Another advantage of RDS function is called “Enhanced Other Networks.” By using the Enhanced Other Networks data sent from a station, you can tune in to a different station of a different network broadcasting your favourite programme or traffic announcement while listening to another programme or to another source such as tape.

By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the following:

• Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-Tracking Reception)

• Standby Reception of TA (Traffic Announcement) or your favourite programme

• PTY (Programme Type) search

• Programme search

• And some other functions

Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-Tracking Reception)

When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically tunes in to 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 the illustration on the next page.) Two types of the RDS data are used to make Network-Tracking Reception work correctly — PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency). Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, NetworkTracking Reception will not operate.

To use Network-Tracking Reception

You can select the different modes of networktracking reception to continue listening to the same programme in its finest reception. When shipped from the factory, “AF” is selected.

• AF: Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization set to “off.” With this setting, the unit switches to another station within the same network when the receiving signals from the current station become weak. (In this mode, the programme may differ from the one currently received.) The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not.

• AF REG: Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization set to “on.” With this setting, the unit switches to another station, within the same network, broadcasting the same programme when the receiving signals from the current station become weak. Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up.

• OFF: Network-Tracking Reception is deactivated. Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up.

REG indicator

AF indicator

Note:

If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternative Reception (for DAB services) is activated, Network-Tracking Reception is also activated (“AF”) automatically. On the other hand, Networking-Trac king Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception. (See page 36.)

Press and hold SEL (select) for more than 2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display. (PSM: see page 26.)

Select “AF-REG (alternative frequency/regionalization reception)” if not shown on the display.

Select the desired mode – “AF,” “AF REG” or “OFF.”

Finish the setting.

The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency A

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency E

Using TA Standby Reception

TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM station, tape or other connected components).

• TA Standby Reception will not work if you are listening

to an AM station.

Press TP/PTY (T) to activate TA Standby Reception. 7 When the current source is FM, the TP

indicator either lights up or flashes.

• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby

Reception is activated. If a station starts broadcasting a traffic announcement, “TRAFFIC” appears on the display, and this unit automatically tunes in to the station. The volume changes to the preset TA volume level (see page 17) and the traffic announcement can be heard.

• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby

Reception is not yet activated since the station being received does not provide the signals used for TA Standby Reception. To activate TA Standby Reception, you need to tune in to another station providing these signals. Press ¢ or 4 to search for such a station. When a station providing these signals is tuned in, the TP indicator stops flashing and remains lit. Now TA Standby Reception is activated.

7 When the current source is other than FM,

the TP indicator lights up. If a station starts broadcasting a traffic announcement, “TRAFFIC” appears on the display, and this unit automatically changes the source and tunes in to the station.

To deactivate the TA Standby Reception, press TP/PTY (T) again.

Using PTY Standby Reception

PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favourite programme (PTY: Programme Type) from the current source (another FM station, tape or other connected components).

ENGLISH

• PTY Standby Reception will not work if you are

listening to an AM station.

To select your favourite programme for PTY Standby Reception

You can select your favourite programme type for PTY Standby Reception. When shipped from the factory, PTY Standby Reception is turned off. (“OFF” is selected for PTY Standby Reception.)

Select “PTY STBY (standby)” if not shown on the display.

Select one of the twenty-nine PTY codes. (See page 18.)

Selected code name appears on the display and is stored into memory.

• To cancel the PTY Standby Reception, select “OFF.”

Finish the setting.

7 When the current source is FM, the

PTY indicator either lights up or flashes.

• If the PTY indicator lights up, PTY Standby Reception is activated. If a station starts broadcasting the selected PTY programme, this unit automatically tunes in to the station.

• If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby Reception is not yet activated since the station being received does not provide the signals used for PTY Standby Reception. To activate PTY Standby Reception, you need to tune in to another station providing these signals. Press ¢ or 4 to search for such a station. When a station providing these signals is tuned in, the PTY indicator stops flashing and remains lit. Now PTY Standby Reception is activated.

7 When the current source is other than

FM, the PTY indicator lights up.

If a station starts broadcasting the selected PTY programme, this unit automatically changes the source and tunes in to the station.

To deactivate the PTY Standby Reception,

select “OFF” in step 3 on the left column. The PTY indicator goes off.

• Refer also to the Instructions supplied with your DAB tuner.

What is DAB system?

DAB is one of the digital radio broadcasting systems available today. It can deliver CD quality sound without any annoying interference and signal distortion. Furthermore, it can carr y text, pictures and data. In contrast to FM broadcast, where each programme is transmitted on its own frequency, DAB combines several programmes (called “services”) to form one “ensemble.” With the DAB tuner connected with this unit, you can enjoy these DAB services.

Tuning in to an ensemble and one of the services

A typical ensemble has 6 or more programmes (services) broadcast at the same time. After tuning in to an ensemble, you can select a service you want to listen to.

Before you start....

Press DAB (FM/AM) briefly if tape, CD changer or external component is the current source.

Select the DAB tuner.

Each time you press and hold the button, the DAB tuner and the FM/AM tuner are alternately selected.

Select the DAB band (DAB1, DAB2 or DAB3).

Each time you press the button, the DAB band changes as follows:

D1 D2 D3

(DAB 1) (DAB 2) (DAB 3)

Note:

This receiver has three D AB bands (D AB1, DAB2, DAB3). You can use any one of them to tune in to an ensemble.

Start searching an ensemble.

Press ¢ to

ENGLISH

When an ensemble is received, searching stops.

• If you hold down the button, the frequency keeps changing until you release the button.

To restore the FM/AM tuner

Press and hold DAB (FM/AM) again.

Storing DAB services in memory

You can preset up to 6 DAB services in each DAB band (DAB1, DAB2 and DAB3) manually.

Select the DAB tuner.

Each time you press and hold the button, the DAB tuner and the FM/AM tuner are alternately selected.

FM/AMDAB

Select the DAB band (DAB1, DAB2 or DAB3) you want.

Each time you press the button, the DAB band changes as follows:

D1 D2 D3

(DAB 1) (DAB 2) (DAB 3)

Tune in to an ensemble you want.

Select a service of the ensemble you want.

Press and hold the number button (in this example, 1) you want to store the selected service into for more than 2 seconds.

Selected band/preset number and “MEMO” (memory) appear alternately for a while.

Repeat the above procedure to store other DAB services into other preset numbers.

Notes:

• A previously preset DAB service is erased when a new DAB service is stor ed in the same preset number.

• Preset DAB services are erased when the power supply to the memory circuit is interrupted (for example, during battery replacement). If this occur s, preset the DAB services again.

ENGLISH

Press 5 (up) to select the next service.

Press ∞ (down) to select the previous service.

Tuning in to a preset DAB service

You can easily tune in to a preset DAB service.

Tracing the same program automatically (Alternative Reception)

You can keep listening to the same program.

• While receiving a DAB service:

When driving in an area where a DAB service cannot be received, this unit automatically tunes in to another ensemble or FM RDS station, broadcasting the same program.

• While receiving an FM RDS station:

When driving in an area where a DAB service is broadcasting the same program as the FM RDS station, this unit automatically tunes in to the DAB service.

Note:

When reception switches between D AB and FM, the listening volume level may increase or decr ease inconveniently. This change in the volume level results from unequal audio injection levels at broadcaster site, but not from the malfunction of this unit.
