Network-Tracking reception

To select Netw ork-Tracking mode, press the RDS button for more than 1 second.

• 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 different programmes 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.

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency A

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency B

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency C

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 inf ormation or NEWS 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. 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 and NEWS volume control

This function adjusts the volume of traffic information or news broadcasts.

1. Press the SEL button for more than 2

seconds to set the preferred setting mode.

2. Select “TA VOL” with the SEL button.

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