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 station 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 networ k broadcasting your favorite prog ramme or traffic announcement while listening to another programme or to another source such as tape.

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 tune 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.

ENGLISH

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.

ENGLISH

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.

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 temporar ily to your favorite programme (PTY: Programme Type) and T raffic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM station, tape, CD and other connected components).

Note:

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

TA Standby Reception

ENGLISH

RDS

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

Other convenient RDS functions and adjustments

Automatic selection of the station when using the number buttons

Usually when you press the number button, the preset station is tuned in. However, when the preset station is an RDS station, something different will happen. If the signals from that preset station are not sufficient for good reception, this unit starts searching another station broadcasting the same programme as the original preset station is broadcasting, then if any station broadcasting the same programme is found, the station will be tuned in.

Changing the display mode while listening to an FM station

SOUND ADJUSTMENTS

BBE (For KS-FX940R) LOUD (For KS-FX840R)

Turning on/off the BBE function

This section is ONLY FOR KS-FX940R.

The BBE* function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording, broadcasts, etc. When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBE function adjusts the phase relationship between the low, mid and high frequencies by adding a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies reach the listener’s ears at the proper time. In addition, the BBE function boosts low and high frequencies, which loudspeakers tend to be less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation. When combined with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer , more finely detailed “live” presence.

Each time you press BBE, the BBE function turns on and off alternately.
