Select the FM band (FM1 – 3) you want to store FM stations into.
KS-FX725R
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.

RDS OPERATIONS

This section is only for KS-FX725R.

What you can do with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to
ENGLISH
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.” The EON indicator lights up while receiving an FM station with the Enhanced Other Networks data. 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 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
• 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 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 RDS (Traffic Programme/Radio Data System) for more than 1 second. Each time you press and hold the button, Network-Tracking Reception modes change as follows:
TP RDS
Mode 1
The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not. 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
Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up. 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
Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up. Network-Tracking Reception is deactivated.
Mode 1
Mode 2 Mode 3
AF indicator
REG indicator
10
The same programme can be received on different frequencies.
Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency A
Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency B
Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency C
Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency E
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, tape or other connected components).
Standby Reception will not work if you are listening
to an AM station.
TA Standby Reception
TP
When you press TP RDS while listening
RDS
to an FM station, the TP indicator is lit during reception of a TP (Traffic Programme) station and the TA standby mode is engaged.
When the station being received is not a TP station,
the TP indicator flashes. Press ¢ or 4 to engage the TA standb y mode. “SEARCH” appears on the display, and TP station search starts. When a TP station is tuned into, the TP indicator is lit.
7 If you are listening to a tape or other connected
components and wish to listen to a TP station, press TP RDS to enter the T A standby mode . (The TP indicator lights up.)
PTY Standby Reception
When you press PTY while listening
PTY
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.
• When the station being received is not a PTY station, the PTY indicator flashes. Press ¢ or 4 to engage the PTY standby mode. “SEARCH” appears on the display, and PTY station sear c h starts. When a PTY station is tuned into, the PTY indicator is lit.
7 If you are listening to a tape or other connected
components and wish to listen to a selected PTY broadcast, press PTY to enter the PTY standby mode. (The PTY indicator lights up.)
If the selected PTY programme starts broadcasting while the PTY standby mode is active, the selected PTY name appears and the playback source changes to the FM band. The selected PTY programme can then be heard.
To deactivate the PTY standby mode, press PTY again.
ENGLISH
If a traffic programme starts broadcasting while the T A standby mode is activ e, “TRAFFIC” appears and the playback source changes to the FM band. The volume increases to the preset TA volume level (see page 14) and the traffic programme can be heard.
To deactivate the TA standby mode, press TP RDS again.
