What is RDS?

RDS (Radio Data System) is a system for transmitting data along with FM programs. This
data, which is inaudible, provides a variety of features such as: program service name, pro­gram type display, traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning and program type tun­ing, intended to aid radio listeners in tuning 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 active when your radio is tuned to RDS stations.

Program Service Name Display

With this function, the names of networks/stations providing RDS services replace the fre­quency on the display a few seconds after they are tuned in.

• When you want to know the frequency of the current station, change
the display.

Each press of the DISPLAY button selects the display in the following order:

Note:

• After switching displays, if you do not perform an operation within 8 seconds, the Program Service

Name is automatically displayed.

7 PTY Information

PTY (Program Type ID code) information for the currently tuned station appears on the
display. The information is correlated with the list in the section “PTY List” on page 32.

Note:

• If a PTY code of zero is received from a station, “None” will be displayed. This indicates that the

station has not defined its program contents.

7 Frequency

The frequency of the current station appears on the display.

AF Function (AlternativeFrequency)

The AF (Alternative Frequencies search) function is used to search for other frequencies in
the same network as the currently tuned station. It automatically retunes the receiver to
another frequency in the network which is broadcasting a stronger signal when there are
problems with reception of the currently tuned station or better reception is possible on
a different frequency.

Note:

• AF tunes the receiver only to RDS stations when you use Seek tuning or BSM Auto Memory with
the “AF” indicator 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 that 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.

• AF can be switched ON or OFF independently for each FM band.

Activating/Deactivating the AF Function

AF is set to ON by default.

1. Press the FUNCTION button and select the AF mode
(AlternativeFrequency) in the Function Menu.

2. Activate or deactivate AF while in an FM band.

Using the RDS Functions

PI Seek Function

The tuner searches for another frequency broadcasting the same programming. “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 the tuner fails to locate a suitable alternative frequency or if the broadcasting signal is
too weak for proper reception, the PI Seek will automatically start.

Auto PI Seek (for preset station)

When preset stations cannot be recalled, as when traveling long distances, the product can
be set to perform PI Seek also during preset recall.
The default setting for Auto PI Seek is OFF.

Note:

• Refer to “Initial Setting” for details on how to switch Auto PI Seek ON/OFF.

Regional Function (Regional)

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

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

• Regional can be switched ON or OFF independently for each FM band.

• “REG” is displayed if you activate the Regional function when the Function Menu is canceled.

Activating/Deactivating the Regional Function

The Regional function is set to ON by default.

1. Press the FUNCTION button and select the Regional mode (Regional) in the
Function Menu.

2. Activate or deactivate Regional while in an FM band.

“REG”

Traffic Announcement Standby Function (Traffic Announcement)

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 either 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).

Activating/Deactivating the TA Function

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

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

2. Activate the TA function.

The “TRFC2” indicator lights, indicating that the tuner is waiting for traffic announce-
ments.

Note:

• If you switched TA Function ON when you are tuned in to neither a TP nor enhanced other net­work’s TP station, only “T” in “TRFC” indicator is displayed.

Repeat the preceding operation when no traffic announcement is being received to deacti­vate the TA function.

Note:

• You can also switch the TA function ON/OFF in the Function Menu.

• The system switches back to the original source following traffic announcement reception.

• The TA function can be activated from sources other than 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 tuner.

• Only TP or enhanced other network’s TP stations are tuned in during the Seek Tuning mode when
the “TRFC2” or “T” indicator is ON.

• Only TP or enhanced other network’s TP stations are stored by BSM when the “TRFC2” or “T”
indicator is ON.

• When listening to DAB, turning ON/OFF the DAB TA function will simultaneously turn ON/OFF
the RDS Traffic Announcement.

Using the RDS Functions

Canceling Traffic Announcements

• Press the TA button 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 the TA button 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.

• Set the volume by adjusting it during reception of a traffic announcement.

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

TP Alarm Function

About 30 seconds after the “TRFC2” indicator turns to “T” due to a weak signal, a 5 sec­ond beep sounds to remind you to select another TP or enhanced other network’s TP sta­tion.

• When DAB’s Service Follow Function is ON.

• When this unit (during DAB reception) cannot clearly receive a Service Component

supporting Road Traffic Flash and Transport Flash.

• When this unit RDS cannot receive a TP or enhanced other network’s TP station broad-

cast.

• If you are listening to the tuner, tune in another TP station or enhanced
other network’s TP station.

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

2” indicator

turns to “T”.

* Time taken before Seek begins.
