Note:

For security reasons, a numbered ID card is provided with this unit, and the same ID number is imprinted on the unit’s chassis. Keep the card in a safe place, as it will help the authorities to identify your unit if stolen.

BEFORE USE

*For safety....

•Do not raise the volume level too much, as this will block outside sounds, making driving dangerous.

•Stop the car before performing any complicated operations.

*Temperature inside the car....

If you have parked the car for a long time in hot or cold weather, wait until the temperature in the car becomes normal before operating the unit.

RDS OPERATIONS

What you can do with RDS

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.” The EON indicator lights up while receiving an FM station with the Enhanced Other Networks data. By using these 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

•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.

Using Network-Tracking Reception

ENGLISH

Each time you press and hold the button,

For KS-FX473R/KS-FX470R:

Press and hold TP RDS (Traffic Programme/

Radio Data System) for more than 1 second.

Network-Tracking Reception modes change as

follows:

Mode 1

Mode 2

Mode 3

Press RDS (Radio Data System).

Each time you press the button, Network-

Tracking Reception change as follows:

Mode 1

Mode 2

Mode 3

AF indicator

REG indicator

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.
