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 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 favorite programme or traffic announcement while listening to another programme or to another source such as CD.

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 favorite 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 page 19.) 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 received 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 received 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.

AF indicator

REG 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, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception. (See page 46.)

ENGLISH

CONTINUED ON THE NEXT PAGE

Press and hold SEL (select) for more than 2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display. (PSM: see pages 31 and 32.)

ENGLISH

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.

Using TA Standby Reception

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

• TA Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station.

Press T TP/PTY 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 18) 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 T TP/PTY again. The TP indicator disappears.

Using PTY Standby Reception

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

Finish the setting.

ENGLISH

• PTY Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station.

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

Press and hold SEL (select) for more than 2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display. (PSM: see pages 31 and 32.)

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

Select one of the twenty-nine PTY codes. (See page 19.)

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

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 disappears.

Searching your favorite programme

You can search any one of the PTY codes. In addition, you can store your 6 favorite programme types in the number buttons.

MP3/WMA INTRODUCTION

What are MP3/WMA?

MP3 is an abbreviation of Motion Picture Experts Group (or MPEG) Audio Layer 3. MP3 is simply a file format with a data compression ratio of 1:10

ENGLISH

(128 Kbps*).

* Bit rate is the average number of bits that one

second of audio data will consume. The unit used is Kbps. To get a better audio quality, choose a higher bit rate. The most popular bit rate for encoding is 128 Kbps.

WMA (Windows Media® Audio) is the digital audio compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation.

• For details information about the MP3/WMA discs, refer to “A Guide to MP3/WMA” (separate volume).

Compatible with ID3 Tag

Extra information data such as album title, performer name, song title, recording year, music genre and a brief comment can be stored within an MP3/WMA file.

This unit can show both ID3v1 (Version 1) and ID3v2 (Version 2) tags on the display. (See page

26.)

• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.

• If both ID3v1 and ID3v2 are recorded on a disc, ID3v2 information will be shown.

How are MP3/WMA files recorded and played back?

MP3/WMA “files (tracks)” can be recorded in “folders” —in PC terminology. During recording, the files and folders can be arranged in a way similar to arranging files and folders of computer data. “Root” is similar to the root of a tree. Every file and folder can be linked to and be accessed from the root.

The illustration below shows an example of how MP3/WMA files are recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW, how they are played back, and how they are searched for on this unit.

Notes:

• This unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without the extension code <.mp3> and a WMA track without the extension code <.wma>.

• This unit is not compatible with MP3 files encoded with Layer 1 and Layer 2 formats.

• This unit is not compatible with WMA files which are not based upon Windows Media® Audio.

• This unit is not compatible with Playlist**.

**A playlist is a simple text file, used on a PC, which

enables users to make their own playback order without physically rearranging the files.
