What is RDS?

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, automatic tuning
and program type tuning, intended to aid radio
listeners in finding and tuning in to a desired
station.

Note:

• RDS service may not be provided by all stations.

• RDS functions like AF (alternative frequencies

search) and TA (traffic announcement standby) are
only available when your radio is tuned in to an RDS
station.

Displaying the frequency of an

RDS station

When you tune in to an RDS station, its pro­gram service name is displayed. If you want to
know the frequency, perform the following
steps.

• Press DISP to change the frequency (or
PTY information) display.

Press DISP repeatedly to switch between
the following displays:

FORM 1

Program service name = PTY information
= Frequency

FORM 2

Program service name = Frequency

Note:

• After switching displays, if you do not perform an
operation within eight seconds, the display auto­matically returns to the program service name.

• The PTY (program type ID code) information is cor­related with the list in the section “PTY list” on page

21.

Using alternative frequency (AF)

If you are listening to a broadcast and the
reception becomes weak or there are other
problems, this product will automatically search
for a different station in the same network which
is broadcasting a stronger signal.

1. Press FUNC and then press AF to select
the AF mode.

2. Press AF to turn the AF function on.

The light illuminates.

• Press AF again to turn the AF function off.

• When the AF mode is exited while AF is

on, “AF” appears on the basic display.

Note:

• AF tunes the receiver only to RDS stations when

you use seek tuning or BSM auto memory with the
AF function 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 FM-1 and FM-2 bands.) No
preset number appears on the display if the RDS
data for the station received differs from the data
for the originally stored station.

• Sound may be temporarily interrupted by another

program during an AF frequency search.

• When the tuner is tuned to a non-RDS station, the

“AF” indicator flashes.

• The AF function can be turned on or off indepen-

dently for each FM band.

Using the PI seek function

The tuner searches for another frequency
broadcasting the same program. “PI Seek”
appears on the display and the radio volume is
muted during a PI seek. The muting is discon­tinued after completion of the PI seek, whether
or not the PI seek has succeeded. If the PI seek
is unsuccessful, the tuner returns to the previ­ous frequency.

PI seek

If you are listening to a broadcast and the
reception becomes weak or if this product fails
to find a suitable alternative frequency, this
product will automatically search for a different
station with the same program.

Auto PI seek (for preset station)

When preset stations cannot be recalled, as
when traveling long distances, this product can
be set to perform PI seek during preset recall.
The default setting for auto PI seek is off.

Note:

• Refer to “Switching the auto PI seek” on page 71.

Limiting stations to regional pro-

gramming

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

1. Press FUNC and then press REG to
select the regional mode.

2. Press REG to turn the regional function
on.

The light illuminates.

• Press REG again to turn the regional func-

tion off.

Note:

• 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 from the display

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

• The regional function can be turned on or off inde-

pendently for each FM band.

Receiving traffic announcements

The TA (traffic announcement standby) function
lets you receive traffic announcements auto­matically, no matter what source you are listen­ing to. The TA function 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).

Turning the TA function on or off

1. Press 22or 33to tune in to a TP or
enhanced other network’s TP station.

The “TRFC” indicator lights when the tuner
is tuned in to a TP station or an enhanced
other network’s TP station.

2. Press TA to turn the TA function on.

The “3TRFC” indicator lights, indicating that
the tuner is waiting for traffic announce­ments.

• Press TA again when no traffic announce-

ment is being received to turn the TA func­tion off.

Note:

• The system switches back to the original source fol-

lowing traffic announcement reception.

• The TA function can be activated from sources

other than the tuner if the tuner was last set to the
FM band but not if it was last set to the MW/LW
band.

• If the tuner was last set to FM, turning on the TA

function lets you operate other tuning functions
while listening to sources other than the tuner.

• If you switched the TA function on while tuned in to

neither a TP nor an enhanced other network’s TP
station, only “T” in the “TRFC” indicator lights.

• Only TP or enhanced other network’s TP stations

are tuned in during seek tuning when the “3TRFC”
or “T” indicator is on.

• Only TP or enhanced other network’s TP stations

are stored by BSM when the “3TRFC” or “T” indi­cator is on.

Canceling traffic announcements

• Press TA while a traffic announcement is
being received to cancel the announce­ment and return to the original source.

The announcement is canceled but the tuner
remains in the TA mode until TA is pressed
again.

Adjusting the TA volume

When a traffic announcement begins, the vol­ume adjusts automatically to a preset level to
enable you to hear the announcement clearly.

• Turn VOLUME to adjust and set the vol­ume during reception of a traffic
announcement.

The newly set volume is stored in memory
and recalled for subsequent traffic
announcements.

TP alarm

About 30 seconds after the “3TRFC” indicator
turns to “T” due to a weak signal, a five second
beep sounds to remind you to select another
TP or enhanced other network’s TP station.

• When listening to a RDS broadcast, press

22

or 33to tune in to another TP station or

enhanced other network’s TP station.

In sources other than the tuner, the tuner
automatically seeks out the TP station with
the strongest signal in the current area 10
(or 30)* seconds after the “3TRFC” indicator
turns to “T”.

* Time taken before seek begins

TA function ON 10 seconds
TA, AF functions ON 30 seconds

Using the PTY function

A PTY search is performed by program type as
indicated in the PTY list (the program types are:
News&Inf, Popular, Classics, Others). It also
provides automatic tuning to emergency broad­casts (PTY alarm).

Searching the PTY

1. Press FUNC and then press PTY to select
the PTY search mode.

2. Press any of the buttons 1 – 4 to search
the desired PTY.

The tuner searches for a station broadcast­ing the desired PTY.

Note:

• The program of some stations may differ from that

indicated by the transmitted PTY.

• If no station is broadcasting the type of program

you searched for, “Not found” is displayed for about
two seconds and then the tuner returns to the origi­nal station.

• The PTY method is wide only.

• You can also use 2, 3 and 5 to select and search

the desired PTY.

Setting the news program interruption

When a news program is broadcast from a PTY
code news station, this product can switch from
any station to the news broadcast station.
When the news program ends, reception of the
previous program resumes.

1. Press NEXT to display “NEWS”.

Press NEXT until “NEWS” appears.

2. Press NEWS to turn the news interrup­tion on.

The “3NEWS” or “N” indicator lights.

• Press NEWS again to turn the news inter-

ruption off.

• Press TA during news program reception

to cancel the news program.

PTY alarm

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.

• Press TA during announcement reception to

cancel the announcement.
