Overview of the RDS function

The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows FM stations to send additional digital information along with the regular radio programme signal. Your car stereo offers you a variety of services. Here are just a few: re-tuning the same programme automatically, listening to traffic announcements and locating a station by programme type.

Notes

• Depending on the country or region, not all of the RDS functions are available.

• RDS may not work properly if the signal strength is weak or if the station you are tuned in to is not transmitting RDS data.

Displaying the station name

The name of the station currently received lights up in the display.

Select an FM station (page 8).

When you tune in an FM station that transmits RDS data, the station name appears in the display.

FM1

BBC 1 FM

Note

The “*” indication means that an RDS station is being received.

Changing the displayed items

Each time you press (DSPL), the item changes as follows:

” Frequency ” Clock ” Station Name

Radio/RDS

Note

“NO NAME” appears if the station received does not transmit RDS data.

Re-tuning the same programme automatically

— Alternative Frequencies (AF)

The Alternative Frequencies (AF) function automatically selects and re-tunes the station with the strongest signal in a network. By using this function, you can continuously listen to the same programme during a longdistance drive without having to re-tune the station manually.

Frequencies change automatically.

98.5MHz

Station

102.5MHz

1 Select an FM station (page 8).

2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “AF”

appears.

The unit starts searching for an alternative station with a stronger signal in the same network.

Note

When there is no alternative station in the area and you do not need to search for an alternative station, turn the AF function off by pressing (AF/TA) repeatedly until “AF TA” disappears.

Changing the displayed items

Each time you press (AF/TA), the item changes as follows:

” AF ” TA ” AF TA*

Blank “

* Select this to turn on both the AF and TA functions.

96.0MHz

Notes

• “NO AF” and the station name flash alternately, if the unit cannot find an alternative station in the network.

• If the station name starts flashing after selecting a station with the AF function on, this indicates that no alternative frequency is available. Press (SEEK/AMS) while the station name is flashing (within eight seconds). The unit starts searching for another frequency with the same PI (Programme Identification) data (“PI SEEK” appears and no sound is heard). If the unit cannot find another frequency, “NO PI” appears, and the unit returns to the originally selected frequency.

Listening to a regional programme

The “REG” (regional on) function of this unit lets you stay tuned to a regional programme without being switched to another regional station. (Note that you must turn the AF function on.) The unit is factory preset to “REG,” but if you want to turn off the function, do the following.

Press (AF/TA) for more than two seconds until “REG” disappears.

Note that turning the “REG” function off might cause the unit to switch to another regional station within the same network.

Note

This function does not work in the United Kingdom and in some other areas.

Local link function (United Kingdom only)

The Local Link function lets you select other local stations in the area, even though they are not stored on your number buttons.

1 Press a number button that has a local

station stored on it.

2 Within five seconds, press the number

button of the local station again.

3 Repeat this procedure until the desired

local station is received.

Listening to traffic announcements

The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic Programme (TP) data let you automatically tune in an FM station that is broadcasting traffic announcements even though you are listening to other programme sources.

Presetting the volume of traffic announcements

You can preset the volume level of the traffic announcements beforehand so you won’t miss the announcement. When a traffic announcement starts, the volume will be automatically adjusted to the preset level.

1 Select the desired volume level.

Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “TA” or “AF TA” appears.

The unit starts searching for traffic information stations. “TP” appears in the display when the unit finds a station broadcasting traffic announcements. When the traffic announcement starts, “TA” flashes. “TA” stops flashing when the traffic announcement is over.

Tips

• If you press (AF/TA) while tuning in the traffic announcement, the unit can play a CD.

• If the traffic announcement starts while you are listening to another programme source, the unit automatically switches to the announcement and goes back to the original source when the announcement is over.

Notes

• “NO TP” flashes for five seconds if the received station does not broadcast traffic announcements. Then, the unit starts searching for a station that broadcasts traffic announcements.

• When “EON” appears with “TP” in the display, the current station makes use of traffic announcements broadcast by other stations in the same network.

To cancel the current traffic announcement

Press (AF/TA) momentarily.

To cancel all traffic announcements, turn off the function by pressing (AF/TA) until “AF” and “TA” disappear.

2 Press (3) while pressing (SEL).

“TA VOL” appears and the setting is stored.

Receiving emergency announcements

If an emergency announcement comes in while you are listening to the radio, the programme will be automatically switched to the announcement. If you are listening to a source other than the radio, the emergency announcements will be heard if you set AF or TA to on. The unit will then automatically switch to these announcements no matter what you are listening to at the time.

RDS

Presetting RDS stations with the AF and TA data

When you preset RDS stations, the unit stores each station’s data as well as its frequency, so you don’t have to turn on the AF or TA function every time you tune in the preset station. You can select a different setting (AF, TA, or both) for individual preset stations, or the same setting for all preset stations.

Presetting the same setting for all preset stations

1 Select an FM band (page 8). 2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly to select either

“AF,” “TA” or “AF TA” (for both AF and TA functions).

Note that turning the “AF TA” function off stores RDS stations as well as non-RDS

stations.

3 Press (SENS/BTM) for two seconds.

Presetting different settings for each preset station

1 Select an FM band, and tune in the

desired station (page 8).

2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly to select either

“AF,” “TA” or “AF TA” (for both AF and TA functions).

3 Press the desired number button for two

seconds until “MEM” appears.

Repeat from step 1 for presetting other stations.

Tip

If you want to change the preset AF and/or TA setting after you tune in the preset station, you can do so by turning on/off the AF or TA function.

Locating a station by programme type

You can locate the station you want by selecting one of the programme types shown below.
