RDS

Section

English

Introduction of RDS operation

RDS (radio data system) is a system for providing information along with FM broadcasts. This inaudible information provides such features as program service name, program type, traffic announcement standby and automatic tuning, and is intended to aid radio listeners in finding and tuning in to a desired station.

1 Program service name

Shows the name of broadcast program.

2 AF indicator

Shows when AF (alternative frequencies search) function is on.

3 TA indicator

Shows when TA (traffic announcement standby) function is on.

4 TP indicator

Shows when a TP station is tuned in.

% Press FUNCTION to display the function names.

Press FUNCTION repeatedly to switch between the following functions:

BSM (best stations memory)REG (regional) LOCAL (local seek tuning)TA (traffic an-

nouncement standby)AF (alternative frequencies search)

# To return to the frequency display, press BAND. # If MW/LW band is selected, you can only select BSM or LOCAL.

Notes

! If you do not operate the function within about

30 seconds, the display is automatically returned to the frequency display.

! RDS service may not be provided by all sta-

tions.

! RDS functions such as AF and TA are only ac-

tive when your radio is tuned to an RDS station.

Switching the RDS display

When you tune in an RDS station its program service name is displayed. Switch the display to find out the frequency.

% Press DISPLAY.

Press DISPLAY repeatedly to switch between the following settings: Program service namePTY information Frequency

# PTY information and the frequency of the current station appears on the display for eight seconds.

! The default setting for AF is on.

% Press TA and hold to turn AF on.

Press TA until AF ON appears in the display.

# To turn AF off, press TA and hold until AF OFF appears in the display.

Section

RDS

Notes

! You can also turn the AF function on or off in

the menu that appears with the pressing of FUNCTION.

! Only RDS stations are tuned in during seek

tuning or BSM when AF is on.

! When you recall a preset station, the tuner

may update the preset station with a new frequency from the stations AF list. (This is only available when using presets on the F1 or F2 bands.) No preset number appears on the display if the RDS data for the station received differs from that for the originally stored station.

! Sound may be temporarily interrupted by an-

other program during an AF frequency search.

! When the tuner is tuned to a non-RDS station

the AF indicator flashes.

! AF can be turned on or off independently for

each FM band.

Using PI Seek

If the unit fails to find a suitable alternative frequency, or if you are listening to a broadcast and the reception becomes weak, the unit will automatically search for a different station with the same programming. During the search, PI SEEK is displayed and the output is muted. The muting is discontinued after completion of the PI Seek, whether or not a different station is found.

Using Auto PI Seek for preset stations

When preset stations cannot be recalled, as when travelling long distances, the unit can be set to perform PI Seek during preset recall. ! The default setting for Auto PI Seek is off.

See Switching Auto PI Seek on page 31.

Limiting stations to regional programming

When AF is used to automatically retune frequencies, the regional function limits the selection to stations broadcasting regional programs.

1 Press FUNCTION to select REG.

Press FUNCTION until REG appears in the display.

2 Press a to turn the regional function on. Press a and REG :ON is displayed.

3 Press b to turn the regional function off. Press b and REG :OFF is displayed.

Notes

! Regional programming and regional networks

are organized differently depending on the country (i.e., they may change according to the hour, state or broadcast area).

! The preset number may disappear on the dis-

play if the tuner tunes in a regional station which differs from the originally set station.

! The regional function can be turned on or off

independently for each FM band.

Receiving traffic announcements

TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you receive traffic announcements automatically, no matter what source you are listening to. TA can be activated for both a TP station (a station that broadcasts traffic information) or an enhanced other networks TP station (a station carrying information which cross-references TP stations).

RDS

Section

English

1 Tune in a TP or enhanced other networks TP station.

When you are tuned into a TP or enhanced other networks TP station the TP indicator will light.

2 Press TA to turn traffic announcement standby on.

Press TA and TA ON appears in the display. The tuner will stand-by for traffic announcements.

# To turn traffic announcements standby off, press TA again.

3 Use VOLUME to adjust the TA volume when a traffic announcement begins.

Rotate it to increase or decrease the volume. The newly set volume is stored in memory and recalled for subsequent traffic announcements.

4 Press TA while a traffic announcement is being received to cancel the announcement.

The tuner returns to the original source but remains in the standby mode until TA is pressed again.

# You can also cancel the announcement by pressing SOURCE, BAND, a, b, c or d while a traffic announcement is being received.

Notes

! You can also turn the TA function on or off in

the menu that appears with the pressing of FUNCTION.

! The system switches back to the original

source following traffic announcement reception.

! Only TP and enhanced other networks TP sta-

tions are tuned in during seek tuning or BSM when TA is on.

Receiving PTY alarm broadcasts

PTY alarm is a special PTY code for announcements regarding emergencies such as natural disasters. When the tuner receives the radio alarm code, ALARM appears on the display and the volume adjusts to the TA volume. When the station stops broadcasting the emergency announcement, the system returns to the previous source. ! An emergency announcement can be can-

celed by pressing TA.

! You can also cancel an emergency an-

nouncement by pressing SOURCE, BAND, a, b, c or d.
