Using the RDS Functions

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:
Frequency = Program Service Name = PTY Information

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 for 8 seconds. The information is correlated with the list in the section “PTY List”
on page 30.

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.

• If the signal is too weak for this product to pick up the PTY code, “NO PTY” will be displayed.

7 Frequency

The frequency of the current station appears on the display.

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 F1 (FM1) and F2 (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 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 (AF) in the Function
Menu.

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

Position Selector

One way to assure a more natural sound is to clearly position the stereo sound image
(putting you in the center of the sound field).
The Position Selector function adjusts volume level of sound from each speaker to match
seat positions and the number of people in the car, and lets you recall settings at the touch
of a button. The result is a natural sound regardless of the seat you are sitting in.

Los colores de los cables de este producto se confor­man con un nuevo código de colores.

FH-P6600R

INSTALLATION MANUAL

Note:

• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and
negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre­ational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery
voltage.

• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to
disconnect the ≠ battery cable before beginning
installation.

• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on con­necting the power amp and other units, then make
connections correctly.

• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive
tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape
around them where they lie against metal parts.

• Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any
moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake,
and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that
get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insu­lation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a
danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle
body.

• Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into the
engine compartment to connect to the battery.
This will damage the lead insulation and cause a
very dangerous short.

• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection
circuit may fail to work when it should.

• Never feed power to other equipment by cutting
the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit
and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of
the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.

• When replacing fuse, be sure to use only fuse of
the rating prescribed on the fuse holder.

• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never
wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or
the left and right ≠ speaker leads are common.

• The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead
separately from the ground of high-current prod­ucts such as power amps.
If you ground the products together and the
ground becomes detached, there is a risk of dam­age to the products or fire.

• If the RCA pin jack on the unit will not be used,
do not remove the caps attached to the end of the
connector.

• Speakers connected to this unit must be high­power types with minimum rating of 45 W and
impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers
with output and/or impedance values other than
those noted here may result in the speakers catch­ing fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged.

• When this product’s source is switched ON, a
control signal is output through the blue/white
lead. Connect to an external power amp’s system
remote control or the car’s Auto-antenna relay
control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the
car features a glass antenna, connect to the anten­na booster power supply terminal.

• When an external power amp is being used with
this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white
lead to the amp’s power terminal. Likewise, do
not connect the blue/white lead to the power ter­minal of the auto-antenna. Such connection could
cause excessive current drain and malfunction.

• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected
lead with insulating tape. Especially, insulate the
unused speaker leads without fail. There is a pos­sibility of short-circuiting if the leads are not insu­lated.

• To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of
the IP-BUS connector is blue, and the output side
is black. Connect the connectors of the same col­ors correctly.

• If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not
have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition
switch, the red lead of the unit should be connect­ed to a terminal coupled with ignition switch
ON/OFF operations. If this is not done, the vehi­cle battery may be drained when you are away
from the vehicle for several hours. (Fig. 1)
