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.

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

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.

Changing the displayed items

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

” AF-ON ” TA-ON ” AF,TA-ON*

* 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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

button of the local station again.

3 Repeat this procedure until the desired

local station is received.

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,TA-OFF” appears.

Tip

You can also cancel the traffic announcements by pressing (TUNER) on the master unit or (SOURCE) on the optional rotary commander RM-X4S.

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 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 11). 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 (9) (P MODE)

repeatedly until “B.T.M” appears.

4 Press (10) (n). 5 Press (SHIFT).

Presetting different settings for each preset station

1 Select an FM band, and tune in the

desired station (page 12).

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.

Notes on handling CDs

A dirty or defective disc may cause sound dropouts while playing. To enjoy optimum sound, handle the disc as follows. Handle the disc by its edge. To keep the disc clean, do not touch the surface.

CD/MD Changer/Additional Information

Do not stick paper or tape on the labelled surface.

Do not expose the discs to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air-ducts, or leave them in a car parked in direct sunlight where there can be a considerable rise in the temperature inside the car.

Before playing, clean the discs with an optional cleaning cloth. Wipe each disc from the center out. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or antistatic spray intended for analog discs.

To maintain high quality sound

If you have drink holders near your audio equipment, be careful not to splash juice or other soft drinks onto the car audio. Sugary residues on this unit or cassette tapes may contaminate the playback heads, reduce the sound quality, or prevent sound reproduction altogether. Cassette cleaning kits cannot remove sugar from the tape heads.

Notes on moisture condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the CD player. Should this occur, the unit will not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and wait for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

When you play 8 cm CDs

Use the optional Sony compact disc single adapter (CSA-8) to protect the CD player from being damaged.

Notes on Cassettes

Cassette care

• Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.

• Keep cassettes away from equipment with built-in magnets such as speakers and amplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the recorded tape could occur.

• Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely cold temperatures or moisture.

• Slack in the tape may cause the tape to be caught in the machine. Before you insert the tape, use a pencil or similar object to turn the reel and take up any slack.

Slack

• Distorted cassettes and loose labels can cause problems when inserting or ejecting tapes. Remove or replace loose labels.

Cassettes longer than 90 minutes

The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is not recommended except for long continuous play. The tapes used for these cassettes are very thin and tend to be stretched easily. Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes may cause them to be pulled into the cassette deck mechanism.

The rotary commander labels

You can control this unit with the optional rotary commander (RM-X4S). On the rotary commander, use the labels supplied with this unit only. Other labels supplied with the rotary commander are not effective for this unit. When you mount the rotary commander, attach the label as in the illustration below.
