“P1” flashes for a while.

Repeat the above procedure to store other stations into other preset numbers.

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 “To change the FM tuner selectivity – IF FILTER” on page 26.

RDS OPERATIONS

What you can do with RDS EON

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 “EON (Enhanced Other Networks).” The EON indicator lights up while receiving an FM station with the EON data. By using the EON data sent from a station, you can tune into 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 into 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, Network-Tracking Reception will not operate.

To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and hold TP (traffic programme) f or more than 1 second. Each time you press and hold the button, NetworkTracking Reception modes change as follows:

Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3

(AF)

Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3

Mode 1

Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization set to “off.” 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.

Mode 2

Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization set to “on.” Switches to another station, within the same network, broadcasting the same programme when the receiving signals from the current station become weak.

Mode 3

Network-Tracking Reception is deactivated.

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, Networking-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception. (See page 37.)
