IMPORTANT NOTICE!

Safe and efficient use

Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by Sony may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Please check for exceptions, due to national requirement or limitations, in usage of Bluetooth equipment before using this product.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of cellular phones and handsfree equipment in the areas where you drive. Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.

Connecting to other devices

When connecting to any other device, please read its user guide for detailed safety instructions.

Radio frequency exposure

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in cars, such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems or air bag systems. For installation or service of this device, please consult with the manufacturer or its representative of your car.

RDS

Overview

FM stations with Radio Data System (RDS) service send inaudible digital information along with the regular radio program signal.

Display items

A Radio band B TP/TA/AF* C Clock D Preset number E Frequency*

data

*1 When Information “on” is set:

– “TP” lights up while “TP” is received. – “TA”/“AF” lights up while “TA/AF” is on.

*2 While receiving the RDS station, “RDS” is

displayed on the left of the frequency indication.

RDS services

This unit automatically provides RDS services as follows:

AF (Alternative Frequencies)

Selects and retunes the station with the strongest signal in a network. By using this function, you can continuously listen to the same program during a long-distance drive without having to retune the same station manually.

TA (Traffic Announcement)/TP (Traffic Program)

Provides current traffic information/programs. Any information/program received, will interrupt the currently selected source.

PTY (Program Types)

Displays the currently received program type. Also searches your selected program type.

CT (Clock Time)

The CT data from the RDS transmission sets the clock.

Notes

• Depending on the country/region, not all RDS functions may be available.

• RDS will not work if the signal strength is too weak, or if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting RDS data.

(Program service name), RDS

Setting AF and TA

1 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until the

desired setting appears.

Select To

AF on activate AF and deactivate TA. TA on activate TA and deactivate AF. AF/TA on activate both AF and TA. AF/TA off deactivate both AF and TA.

Storing RDS stations with the AF and TA setting

You can preset RDS stations along with the AF/ TA setting. If you use the BTM function, only RDS stations are stored with the same AF/TA setting. If you preset manually, you can preset both RDS and non-RDS stations with the AF/TA setting for each.

1 Set AF/TA, then store the station with BTM or

manually.

Receiving emergency announcements

With AF or TA on, the emergency announcements will automatically interrupt the currently selected source.

Tip

If you adjust the volume level during a traffic announcement, that level will be stored into memory for subsequent traffic announcements, independently from the regular volume level.

Staying with one regional program — Regional

When the AF function is on: this unit’s factory setting restricts reception to a specific region, so you will not be switched to another regional station with a stronger frequency.

If you leave this regional program’s reception area, set “Regional off” in setup during FM reception (page 42).

Note

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