Radio

RDS

Overview of the RDS function

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.

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

96.0MHz

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 to is not transmitting RDS data.

Displaying the station name

The name of the current station 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.

Note

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

Changing the displayed item

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

z Station name (Frequency) z Clock

* All the items above are scrolled in the display

one by one in order.

MOTION DISPLAY* Z

Station

102.5MHz

1 Select an FM station (page 8). 2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “AF-ON”

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-OFF” appears.

Note

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

Changing the displayed item

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

” AF-ON ” TA-ON ” AF.TA-ON*

AF.TA-OFF “

* Select this to turn on both the AF and TA

functions.

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. Push the SEEK/AMS control up or down 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-ON” (regional on) function 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-ON,” but if you want to turn off the function, do the following.

1 Press (SHIFT), then press (3) (PLAY

MODE) repeatedly until “REG” appears.

2 Press (4) (n) repeatedly until “REG-OFF”

appears.

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 is broadcasting traffic announcements even though you are listening to other programme sources.

Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “TA-ON” or “AF.TA-ON” 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. The flashing stops when the traffic announcement is over.

RDS

3 Press (SHIFT).

Note that selecting “REG-OFF” might cause the unit to switch to another regional station within the same network.

To go back to regional on, select “REG-ON” in step 2 above.

Note

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

Tip

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 broadcast traffic announcement of other stations in the same network.

To cancel the current traffic announcement

Press (AF/TA) or (SOURCE) momentarily.

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

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.

2 Press (AF/TA) for two seconds.

“TA” 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.

Presetting the same setting for all preset stations

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

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

Note that selecting “AF.TA-OFF” stores not only RDS stations, but also non-RDS stations.

3 Press (SHIFT), then press (3) (PLAY

MODE) repeatedly until “BTM” appears.

4 Press (4) (n).

5 Press (SHIFT).

Presetting different settings for each preset station

1 Select an FM band, and tune in the

desired station (page 9).

2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly to select either

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

3 Press the desired number button until

“MEM” appears.

Repeat from step 1 to preset other stations.

Presetting the 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.

Tip

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

Botón de restauración

Notas

• Al pulsar el botón de restauración se borrarán los ajustes del reloj y algunas funciones memorizadas.

• Cuando conecte el cable de suministro de alimentación a la unidad o restaure ésta, espere unos 10 segundos antes de insertar un disco. Si inserta un disco antes de que transcurran los 10 segundos, la unidad no se restaurará y será necesario volver a pulsar el botón de restauración.

Extracción del panel frontal

Es posible extraer el panel frontal de esta unidad con el fin de evitar su robo.

1 Pulse (OFF). 2 Pulse (RELEASE) para abrir el panel

frontal. A continuación, deslícelo ligeramente hacia la izquierda y extráigalo tirando hacia fuera.

(OFF)

Notas

• Procure no dejar caer el panel al extraerlo de la unidad.

• Si pulsa (RELEASE) para extraer el panel mientras la unidad se encuentra encendida, ésta se desactivará automáticamente para evitar que se dañen los altavoces.

• Cuando lleve consigo el panel, guárdelo en el estuche suministrado.

Fijación del panel frontal

Alinee la parte A del panel con la parte B de la unidad como muestra la ilustración y, a continuación, ejerza presión hasta oír un chasquido.

Notas

• Asegúrese de no fijar el panel frontal al revés.

• No ejerza excesiva presión sobre el panel al fijarlo a la unidad. Presiónelo ligeramente.

• No sujete con demasiada fuerza ni presione excesivamente sobre el visor del panel frontal.

• No exponga el panel frontal a la luz solar directa, a fuentes térmicas, como conductos de aire caliente, ni lo deje en un lugar húmedo. No lo deje nunca sobre el salpicadero de un automóvil aparcado bajo la luz solar directa, ya que podría producirse un considerable aumento de temperatura.

Alarma de precaución

Si gira el interruptor de la llave de encendido a la posición OFF sin haber extraído el panel frontal, la alarma de precaución emitirá pitidos durante unos segundos (sólo si el selector POWER SELECT está ajustado en la posición A). Si conecta un amplificador opcional de potencia y no utiliza el incorporado, los pitidos se desactivarán.
