ING button the radio station frequency is

recalled from memory.

Notes

• Up to 18 FM stations, 6 for each of the three FM bands, and 6 MW/LW stations can be stored in memory.

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 tuning in to a desired station.

1 AF indicator

Shows when AF (alternative frequencies search) function is on.

2 NEWS indicator

Shows when NEWS (news program interruption) function is on.

3 TA indicator

Shows when TA (traffic announcement standby) function is on.

4 TP indicator

Shows when a TP station is tuned in.

5 Program service name

Shows the type of broadcast program.

Press

FUNCTION to display the function

names.

Press FUNCTION repeatedly to switch between the following functions:

BSM (best stations memory)—REG (regional)— LOCAL (local seek tuning)—TA (traffic

announcement standby)—NEWS (news program interruption)—AF (alternative frequencies search)

• To return to the frequency display, press

BAND/ESC.

• If MW/LW band is selected, you can only select BSM or 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 stations.

• RDS functions like AF and TA are only active when your radio is tuned to a RDS station.

Section

RDS

Switching the RDS display

When you tune in a RDS station its program service name is displayed. If you want to know the frequency you can.

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 17.

• PTY information and the frequency of the current station appears on the display for eight seconds.

• If a PTY code of zero is received from a station,

NONE is displayed. This indicates that the sta-

tion has not defined its program contents.

• If the signal is too weak for this unit to pick up the PTY code, NO PTY is displayed.

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 AF.

Press FUNCTION until AF appears in the dis- play.

2 Press 5 to turn AF on.

Press 5 and AF :ON is displayed.

3 Press ∞ to turn AF off.

Press ∞ 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 station’s AF list. (This is only available when using presets on the F1 or

F2 band.) 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 a 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.

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 present 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 34.

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 REG.

Press FUNCTION until REG appears in the dis- play.

2 Press 5 to turn the regional function on.

Press 5 and REG :ON is displayed.

3 Press ∞ to turn the regional function off.

Press ∞ and REG :OFF is displayed.

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

• REG can be turned on or off independently for each FM band.

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.

Press TA and the TA indicator appears in the display. The tuner will standby for traffic announcements.

• To turn traffic announcements standby off, press TA again.

3Use VOLUME to adjust the TA volume when a traffic announcement begins.

Rotate 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.

Section

RDS

Notes

• You can also turn the TA function on or off by pressing FUNCTION.

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

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

• Only TP and enhanced other network’s TP stations are tuned in during seek tuning or BSM when TA is on.

Responding to the TP alarm

When a TP or enhanced other network’s TP station is lost due to a weak signal the TP indicator is extinguished and a series of short beeps, about five seconds long, sound to remind you to select another TP or enhanced other network‘s TP station.

When listening to the tuner, tune in another TP or enhanced other network’s TP station.

• When listening to sources other than the

tuner the unit will automatically seek out a TP station with the strongest signal after a 10- or 30-second delay. The delay is 10 seconds if TA is on and 30 seconds if TA and AF are on.

Using PTY functions

You can tune in a station by using PTY information.

Using news program interruption

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

Press TA

and hold to turn on news program

interruption.

Press

TA until NEWS appears in the display.

• To turn off news program interruption, press

TA and hold until NEWS disappears from the

display.

Note

• You can also turn on or off news program interruption by pressing FUNCTION.

Receiving PTY alarm broadcasts

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.

• An emergency announcement can be can-

celled by pressing TA.
