Enhanced Other Network (EON)
When EON data is received, the EON indicator lights and
the TA and AF functions are expanded as follows.
TA : Traffic information from the current and other net-
work stations can be received.
AF : The frequency list of preset RDS stations is updat-
ed by EON data.
EON enables the radio to make fuller use of RDS information. It constantly updates the AF list of preset stations,
including that currently tuned in to. For example, if you
preset a station far from home, you will later be able to
receive the same station at an alternative frequency, or
any other station serving the same program. EON also
keeps track of locally available TP stations for quick
reception.
Emergency Announcement
Reception
When an emergency announcement is broadcast, the unit
is automatically switched to receiving that broadcast.
(Even when in Cassette tape mode, CD changer mode,
etc.). During receiving the emergency announcement,
"ALARM" blinks on the display.

¡Use ungrounded speaker only.
¡The maximum speaker output should be 50 W or more. (If used with
the optional power amplifier, the speaker output should be higher than
the maximum amplifier output.)
¡The speaker impedance should be 4 - 8 Ω.
¡This unit uses the BTCL circuit, so each speaker should be connected
separately using parallel vinyl insulated cords.
¡The speaker cords and the power amplifier unit should be kept away
(about 30 cm apart) from the antenna and antenna extension cord.
¡Never connect the speaker cord to
the body of the car.
¡Do not use a 3-wire type speaker
system having a common earth
lead.
¡Do not connect more than one
speaker to one set of speaker
leads.
