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 TP indicator
Shows when a TP station is tuned in.
3 TA :ON indicator
Shows when TA (traffic announcement

! 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.

3 Press b to turn AF off.
Press b and AF :OFF is displayed.
Notes
! 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 stations AF list. (This is only
available when using presets on the FM1 or
FM2 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.
! 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.
Limiting stations to regional
programming
When AF is used to automatically retune frequencies, the regional function limits the selection to stations broadcasting regional
programs.

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.
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 38.
