preset station you want.
11
RDS OPERATIONS
What you can do with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to
send an additional signal along with their regular
programme signals. For example, the stations
ENGLISH
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
“Enhanced Other Networks.” By using the
Enhanced Other Networks data sent from a
station, you can tune in to 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-Tracking Reception)
• Standby Reception of TA (Traffic
Announcement) or your favorite programme
• PTY (Programme Type) search
• Programme search
• And some other functions
Tracing the same programme
automatically (Network-Tracking
Reception)
To use Network-Tracking Reception
You can select the different modes of networktracking reception to continue listening to the
same programme in its finest reception.
When shipped from the factory, “AF” is selected.
• AF: Network-Tracking Reception is
activated with Regionalization set to
“off.”
With this setting, the unit switches to
another station within the same
network when the receiving signals
from the current station become
weak. (In this mode, the programme
may differ from the one currently
received.)
The AF indicator lights up but the
REG indicator does not.
• AF REG: Network-Tracking Reception is
activated with Regionalization set to
“on.”
With this setting, the unit switches to
another station, within the same
network, broadcasting the same
programme when the receiving
signals from the current station
become weak.
Both the AF indicator and the REG
indicator light up.
When driving in an area where FM reception is
not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically
tunes in to 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 page 18.)
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.
12
• OFF: Network-Tracking Reception is
deactivated.
Neither the AF indicator nor the REG
indicator lights up.
AF indicator REG indicator
Note:
If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternative Reception
(for DAB services) is activated, Network-Tracking
Reception (“AF”) is also activated automatically. On
the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot
be deactivated without deactivating Alternative
Reception. (See page 39.)
1
Press and hold SEL (select) for more
than 2 seconds so that one of the
PSM items appears on the display.
(PSM: see page 26.)
Using TA Standby Reception
TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch
temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from
the current source (another FM station, tape, or
other connected components).
• TA Standby Reception will not work if you are
listening to an AM station.
ENGLISH
2
Select “AF-REG” (alternative
frequency/regionalization reception)
if not shown on the display.
3
Select the desired mode—“AF,”
“AF REG,” or “OFF.”
4
Finish the setting.
Press TP PTY to activate TA Standby Reception.
7 When the current source is FM, the TP
indicator either lights up or flashes.
• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby
Reception is activated.
If a station starts broadcasting a traffic
announcement, “TRAFFIC” appears on the
display, and this unit automatically tunes in to
the station. The volume changes to the
preset TA volume level (see page 17) and the
traffic announcement can be heard.
• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby
Reception is not yet activated since the
station being received does not provide the
signals used for TA Standby Reception.
To activate TA Standby Reception, you need
to tune in to another station providing these
signals. Press ¢ or 4 to search
for such a station.
When a station providing these signals is
tuned in, the TP indicator stops flashing and
remains lit. Now TA Standby Reception is
activated.
7 When the current source is other than FM,
the TP indicator lights up.
If a station starts broadcasting a traffic
announcement, “TRAFFIC” appears on the
display, and this unit automatically changes the
source and tunes in to the station.
To deactivate the TA Standby Reception,
press TP PTY again. The TP indicator goes off.
13
Using PTY Standby Reception
PTY Standby Reception allows the unit to switch
temporarily to your favorite programme (PTY:
Programme Type) from the current source
ENGLISH
(another FM station, tape, or other connected
components).
4
Finish the setting.
• PTY Standby Reception will not work if you are
listening to an AM station.
You can select your favorite programme type for
PTY Standby Reception.
When shipped from the factory, PTY Standby
Reception is turned off. (“OFF” is selected for
PTY Standby Reception.)
1
Press and hold SEL (select) for more
than 2 seconds so that one of the
PSM items appears on the display.
(PSM: see page 26.)
2
Select “PTY STBY” (standby) if not
shown on the display.
7 When the current source is FM, the PTY
indicator either lights up or flashes.
• If the PTY indicator lights up, PTY Standby
Reception is activated.
If a station starts broadcasting the selected
PTY programme, this unit automatically
tunes in to the station.
• If the PTY indicator flashes, PTY Standby
Reception is not yet activated since the
station being received does not provide the
signals used for PTY Standby Reception.
To activate PTY Standby Reception, you
need to tune in to another station providing
these signals. Press ¢ or 4 to
search for such a station.
When a station providing these signals is
tuned in, the PTY indicator stops flashing
and remains lit. Now PTY Standby Reception
is activated.
7 When the current source is other than FM,
the PTY indicator lights up.
If a station starts broadcasting the selected
PTY programme, this unit automatically
changes the source and tunes in to the station.
3
Select one of the twenty-nine PTY
codes. (See page 18.)
Selected code name
appears on the display
and is stored into
memory.
14
To deactivate the PTY Standby Reception,
select “OFF” in step 3 on the left column. The
PTY indicator goes off.
Searching your favorite programme
You can search any one of the PTY codes.
In addition, you can store your 6 favorite
programme types in the number buttons.
When shipped from the factory, the following
6 programme types have been stored in the
number buttons (1 to 6).
