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 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 “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 CD.

By receiving the RDS signals, 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

• TA (Traffic Announcement) 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 tunes 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 signals are used to make Network-Tracking Reception work correctly — PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency) data. Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, NetworkTracking Reception will not operate.

RDS

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:

Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3

Mode 1 (AF:on / REG:off)

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 (AF:on / REG:on)

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 (AF:off / REG:off)

Network-Tracking is deactivated.

The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

ENGLISH

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 Traf fic Announcement (T A) from the current source (another FM station and TAPE (or CD for KS-FX740R/FX640R)).

Note:

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

TA Standby Reception

RDS

• When you press TP/RDS while listening to an FM station, the TP indicator is lit during reception of a TP (T raffic Programme) station and the T A standby mode is engaged.

Note:

When the station being received is not a TP station, the TP indicator flashes. Press

¢ or 4 to engage the TA standby mode. “SEARCH” appears on the display, and TP station sear ch starts. When a TP station is tuned in, the TP indicator is lit.

• If you are listening to TAPE (or CD for KS-FX740R/FX640R), and wish to

listen to a TP station, press TP/RDS to enter the TA standby mode. (The TP indicator lights up.)

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 15).

To deactivate the TA standby mode, press TP/RDS 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 11 flashes for 5 seconds.

Note:

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 search starts. When a PTY station is tuned in, the PTY indicator is lit.

• If you are listening to TAPE (or CD for KS-FX740R/FX640R), 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.
