• Manual preset of both FM and AM stations

FM station automatic preset: SSM

You can preset 6 local FM stations in each FM band (FM1, FM2 and FM3).

ENGLISH

FM/AM

Local FM stations with the strongest signals are searched and stored automatically in the band number you have selected (FM1, FM2 or FM3). These stations are preset in the number buttons — No. 1 (lowest frequency) to No. 6 (highest frequency). When automatic preset is over, the station stored in number button 1 will be automatically tuned in.

SSM

Select the FM band number (FM1, FM2 or FM3) you want to store FM stations into.

FM1 FM2 FM3

Press and hold both buttons for more than 2 seconds.

“SSM” appears, then disappears when automatic preset is over.

Manual preset

You can preset up to 6 stations in each band (FM1, FM2, FM3 and AM) manually. EXAMPLE: Storing an FM station of 88.3 MHz into the preset number 1 of the FM1 band

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 program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as

ENGLISH

information about what type of program 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 program or traffic announcement while listening to another program or to another source such as CD.

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

• Tracing the same program automatically (Network-tracking Reception)

• Standby Reception of TA (Traffic Announcement) or your favorite program

• PTY (Program T ype) search

• T A (Traffic Announcement) search

• And some other functions

Tracing the same program automatically (NetworkTracking Reception)

When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically tunes in another RDS station, broadcasting the same program with stronger signals. So, you can continue to listen to the same program in its finest reception, no matter where you drive. (See the illustration on the next page.) Two types of the RDS signals are used to make Network-Tracking Reception work correctly — PI (Program Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency) data. Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, NetworkTracking Reception will not operate.

To use Network-Tracking Reception 1 Press and hold SEL (Select) for more than 2 seconds so that “PSM” appears on the display . 2 Press

The current setting for this function also appears.

Network-Tracking is activated without “RDS Regional.” Switches to another station within the same network when the received signals from the current station become weak.

Note:

In this mode, the program may differ from the one currently received.

When both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up

Network-Tracking is activated with “RDS Regional.” Switches to another station, within the same network, broadcasting the same program when the received signals from the current station become weak.

The same program can be received on different frequencies.
