RDS

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, intended to aid radio listeners in finding and is tuning in to a desired station.

1 Program service name

Shows the name of broadcast program.

2 TEXT indicator

Shows when the radio text is received.

3 NEWS indicator

Shows when the set news program is received.

4 TP indicator

Shows when a TP station is tuned in.

1 Press OPEN to open the front panel.

2 Press FUNCTION to display the function names.

# To return to the frequency display, press

BAND.

# If MW/LW band is selected, you can only select BSM, preset channel list and 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. If you want to know the frequency you can.

1 Press OPEN to open the front panel.

2 Press DISPLAY.

Press DISPLAY repeatedly to switch between the following settings: Program service namePTY information Frequency PTY (program type ID code) information is listed on page 23.

This indicates that the station has not defined its program contents. # If the signal is too weak for this unit to pick up the PTY code, the PTY information display is blank.

RDS

Section

Selecting alternative frequencies

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

1 Press FUNCTION to select Alternative FREQ.

Press FUNCTION until Alternative FREQ appears in the display.

2 Press a to turn AF on.

The light comes on.

# To turn AF off, press b.

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 stations AF list. (This is only available when using presets on the FM-1 or 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 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.

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 61.

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 Regional.

Press FUNCTION until Regional appears in the display.

2 Press a to turn the regional function on.

The light comes on.

# To turn the regional function off, press b.

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.

RDS

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).

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. TA ON temporarily appears in the LCD 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.

Using PTY functions

You can tune in a station by using PTY (program type) information.

Searching for an RDS station by PTY information

You can search for general types of broadcasting programs, such as those listed on page
