* For safety....

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

* 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.

• Stop the car before performing any complicated operations.

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 tape.

By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the following:

• Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-T racking Reception)

• Standby Reception of TA (Traffic Announcement) or your favorite programme

• PTY (Programme T ype) search

• TP (Traf fic Programme) 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 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, NetworkTracking Reception will not operate.

Mode 1

The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not. Network-Tracking is activated with Regionalization set to “off.” Switches to another station within the same network when the receiving

ENGLISH

signals from the current station become weak.

Note:

In this mode, the programme may differ fr om the one currently received.

Mode 2

Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up. 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

Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up. Network-Tracking is deactivated.

Note:

If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternative Reception (for DAB services) is activated, Network-T racking Reception is also activated automatically. On the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception. (See page 41.)

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 E

Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency C

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 Traffic Announcement (T A) 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 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 T A standby mode. “SEARCH” appears on the display ,

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

• If you are listening to a tape or CD, 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 16).

To deactivate the TA standby mode, press TP RDS again.

PTY Standby Reception

• When you press PTY while listening to an FM station, the PTY indicator is

PTY

lit during reception of a PTY station and the PTY standby mode is engaged. The selected PTY name stored on page 13 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 a tape or CD, 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.

To deactivate the PTY standby mode, press PTY again.

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, using the AF data, tunes in another frequency broadcasting the same programme as the original preset station is broadcasting. In case no other station is tuned in, you can also search all receivable frequencies for the same programme. (Programme search) To activate programme search, follow the procedure below.

• Programme search takes a while.

• See also “Changing the general settings (PSM)” on page 26.

1. Press and hold SEL (select) for more than 2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display .

2. Press

3. Select “ON” by turning the control dial clockwise. Now programme search is activated.

To cancel programme search, repeat the same procedure and select “OFF” in step 3 by turning the control dial counterclockwise.
