If the sound quality decreases and the stereo effect is lost while listening to an FM station

In some areas, adjacent stations may interfere with each other. If this interference occurs, this unit can automatically reduce this interference noise (the initial setting when shipped from the factory). However, in this case, the sound quality will be degraded and the stereo effect will be also lost.

If you do not want to degrade the sound quality and to lose the stereo effect, rather than to eliminate the interference noise, see

RDS OPERATIONS

			What you can do with RDS
	ENGLISH
			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 favourite
			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 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 page 18.)

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, Network-

Tracking Reception will not operate.

12

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.

Note:

If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternative Reception (for DAB services) is activated, Network-Tracking Reception is also activated automatically. On the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception. (See page 46.)

Using TA Standby Reception

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

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

TP/PTY

T

Press TP/PTY (T) to activate TA Standby

Reception.

7When 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.

7When 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.

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, using the AF data, tunes in to another frequency broadcasting the same programme as the original preset station is broadcasting.
