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)
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.
ENGLISH
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 17.)
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.
• OFF: Network-Tracking Reception is
deactivated.
Neither the AF indicator nor the REG
indicator lights up.
AF and REG indicators
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 42.)

display, and this unit automatically tunes in to
the station. The volume changes to the
preset TA volume level (see page 16) 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

MP3 INTRODUCTION
What is MP3?
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.
• For details information about the MP3
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 file.
This unit can show both ID3v1 (Version 1) and
ID3v2 (Version 2) tags on the display. (See page
24.)
• Some characters cannot be shown correctly.
• If both ID3v1 and ID3v2 are recorded on a
disc, ID3v2 information will be shown.
How are MP3 files recorded
and played back?
MP3 “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 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 can read a CD-ROM containing MP3
files. However, if non-MP3 files are recorded
together with MP3 files, this unit will take a longer
time to scan the disc. It may also cause the unit to
malfunction.
• This unit cannot read or play an MP3 file without
the extension code <.mp3>.
• This unit is not compatible with MP3 file encoded
with Layer 1 and Layer 2 formats.
• 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.
