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 station send their station names, as well as

ENGLISH

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 tape.

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

• TP (Traffic Programme) search

• And some other functions

Tracing the same programme automatically (NetworkTracking Reception)

When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically tune in 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, NetworkTracking Reception will not operate.

KS-FX453R/KS-FX450R

KS-F353R/KS-F350R

RDS

To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and hold TP/RDS (Traffic Programme/Radio Data System: for KS-FX453R/KSFX450R) or RDS (for KS-F353R/KS-F350R) for more than 1 second. Each time you press and hold the button, NetworkTracking Reception modes change as follows:

Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3

Mode 1

The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not. Network-Tracking 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.

Note:

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

Mode 2

Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up. Network-Tracking 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

Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up. Network-Tracking is deactivated.

The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency E

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency A

ENGLISH

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency B

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency C

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency D

Using Standby Reception

Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favorite programme (PTY: Programme Type) and Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source — another FM station and Tape (or CD: for KS-FX453R/KS-FX450R only).

ENGLISH

Note:

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

If a traffic programme starts broadcasting while the T A standby mode is active, “TRAFFIC” appears and the playback source changes to the FM band. The volume increases to the preset TA volume level and the traffic programme can be heard (see page 14).

To deactivate the TA standby mode, press TP/RDS (for KS-FX453R/KSFX450R) or TP (for KS-F353R/KS-F350R) again.

PTY Standby Reception

PTY

• When you press PTY while listening to an FM station, the PTY indicator is lit during reception of a PTY station and the PTY standby mode is engaged. The selected PTY name stored on page 12 flashes for 5 seconds.
