Network-Tracking reception

• Mode 1 (AF (Alternative Frequencies): on/REG: off):

Network-Tracking is activated. Switches between stations belonging to the network being received.

Note:

•In Mode 1, the broadcast may switch between dif fer ent pr ogrammes even within the same network at certain times.

• Mode 2 (AF: on/REG: on):

Network-Tracking is activated and Regional mode is engaged (switches between stations broadcasting the same programme, at all times).

• Mode 3 (AF: off/REG: off): Network-Tracking is deactivated.

When driving in an area where the signal strength drops, the tuner automatically uses PI (Programme Identification) and AF codes to retune to the same programme with a stronger signal from another RDS station in the network. By utilizing these codes, you can continue to listen to the same programme in its finest condition, no matter where you drive. (See illustration.)

• When the RDS station to which you are tuned does not provide AF data or the unit is unable to receive AF data for any reason, Network-Tracking reception will NOT operate even when the signal strength drops below the reference level.

The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

Other RDS functions

EON (Enhanced Other Networks)

• When tuning in a broadcasting station transmitting EON data, the EON indicator is lit and the following operations start. EON automatically stores the frequencies of stations from other networks transmitting information codes (TP/TA/AF/PTY/PS (Programme Service), etc.) so they can be mutually used. The following points have been improved:

When listening to a station NOT transmitting traffic information or the selected PTY for example, EON automatically tunes to a station in a local network when this information is broadcast and then switches back to the original programme when the broadcast ends. (However, it does not switch back to the original programme if the broadcast continues for a long time.) The transmitted information (AF and other codes) is constantly and automatically updated so that preset programme information can be heard immediately even if in a different network area.

Traffic information volume control

This function adjusts the volume of traffic information broadcasts.

1. Press the SEL button for more than 2

seconds to set the preferred setting mode.

2. Select “T A VOL” with the ¢

button.

3. Set to the desired volume with the + or -

button (see page 23).

or 4

Number buttons

When a number button is pressed, if the station with that frequency is broadcasting a sufficiently strong signal, the receiver will tune to that frequency. When the signal strength is not sufficient for good reception, by referring to the AF list, the receiver searches for a station broadcasting the same programme with a stronger signal. If a station cannot be found in the AF list, PIseek tuning starts. If a station broadcasting the same PI code cannot be detected in one search-cycle, PI-seek tuning is released and the original preset frequency is tuned to.

CT (Clock Time)

When CT data is received in the RDS signal, the time is correctly renewed.

• RDS updates the local time according to Greenwich Mean Time.

• When automatic renewal of clock time is NOT required, follow the steps below.

1. Press the SEL button for more than 2

seconds to set the preferred setting mode.

2. Select “AUTO ADJ” with the ¢

button.

3. Press the “–” level control button and set to

“ADJ OFF” (see page 23).

Once these steps are completed, clock time is not renewed even if the CT (Clock Time) data is received with the RDS signal. When you wish to reactivate this mode, repeat the same procedure and in Step 3 press the “+” Level Control button to set to “ADJ ON.” In the activated mode, clock time is automatically renewed when the CT data is received.

Note:

It takes at least 2 minutes to renew the time after receiving CT data. The station must be received for more than 2 minutes continuously, otherwise the clock time will NOT be renewed.

Display Mode

Setting the main display mode.

1. Press the SEL button for more than 2 seconds to set the preferred setting mode.

2. Select “DISPMODE” with the ¢

Notes:

• While locating a specified tune: – If the tape is rewound to its beginning, playback starts from the beginning of that side. – If the tape is fast forwarded to the end, it is reversed and played from the beginning of the other

side.

• In the following cases, the Multi Music Scan function may not operate correctly: – Tapes with tunes having long pianissimo passages (very quiet parts) or non-recorded portions

during tunes. – Tapes with short non-recorded sections. – Tapes with high a level of noise or humming between tunes. – The Dolby NR button settings do not match. F or e xample, if the tape is recorded with the Dolby C
