About the DVD menu

A DVD is divided into several sections, which make up a picture or music feature. These sections are called “titles.” When you play a DVD that contains several titles, you can select a desired title using the DVD’s top menu. For DVDs that allow you to select items such as subtitle/sound language(s), select these items using the DVD menu.

RDS

Overview

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

Display items

A B

C

A Radio band, Function

B TA/TP*1

CFrequency*2 (Program service name), Preset number, Clock, RDS data

*1 “TA” flashes during traffic information. “TP” lights up while such a station is received.

*2 While receiving the RDS station, “ *” is displayed on the left of the frequency indication.

To change display items C, press (DSPL).

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.

22

Setting AF and TA

The AF/TA settings and switching order are indicated below.

AF-ON: Activates AF and deactivates TA. TA-ON: Activates TA and deactivates AF. AF, TA-ON: Activates both AF and TA.

AF, TA-OFF: Deactivates both AF and TA.

1Press (AF/TA) on the main unit repeatedly until the desired setting appears.

1During FM reception, press a number button ((1) to (6)) on which a local station is stored.

2Within 5 seconds, press again a number button of the local station.

Repeat this procedure until the local station is received.

Selecting PTY

1Press and hold (AF/TA) (PTY) on the main unit during FM reception.

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.

1Set 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

— REG

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 “REG-OFF” in system setup during FM reception (page 46).

Note

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

Local Link function (UK only)

This function enables you to select other local stations in the area, even if they are not stored on your number buttons.
