Pioneer F-208RDS - Manual (Page 12)

In the RDS system, FM broadcast stations transmit information such
as station name and program type in addition to standard audio
signals.This unit receives the following data, displays the three data,
RT, PS, PTY, and provides the functions, EON and Program Type
Search.
RT (Radio Text) data
A message transmitted from the broadcast station using a maximum
of 64 characters.
PS (Program Service Name) data
This refers to the broadcast station name transmitted by an FM
broadcast station.
PTY (Program Type) data
This refers to the type of program being broadcast by a particular
station at a given time.For details concerning types of PTY data,
refer to "The 29 PTY data titles transmitted" on page 16.
EON (Enhanced Other Networks) reception
Function that allows you to set the receiver to switch to a frequency
automatically when a program featuring traffic information or news
is being broadcast. It cannot be used in areas that EON information
is not transmitted and when FM broadcast stations do not transmit
PTY data.
When the broadcast ends, it returns to the original frequency.
PI (Program Identification)
This information consists of a code enabling the tuner to distinguish
between countries or areas in which the same program is
transmitted, and the identification of the program itself. The code
is not intended for direct display and is assigned to each individual
radio program to enable it to be distinguished from all other
programs.
• PI code registration and deletion
To use the EON function, receivable RDS stations must be
programmed in the tuner.When you program RDS stations in
this tuner, PI codes are simultaneously memorized.
When the PI code is programmed and the same program (PI
code) is preset using a different frequency, this function will
only operate the most recently set station regardless of the
reception state.
When presetting new frequencies due to relocation to another
area, etc., it is necessary to delete registered PI codes.
To erase PI codes, perform the following procedure.
1. Press the EON button for two seconds or more.
"ERASE PI" will be displayed.
2. Within 5 seconds, press the MEMORY button.
NOTE:
After erasing PI codes, preset stations once more to make the most
of basic RDS performance capabilities.
Program Type Search (PTY Search)
You can select a desired program type, and perform Program Type
Search for preset stations broadcasting that kind of program.
NOTE:
An RDS broadcast may be automatically Interrupted by an
emergency program. During reception of an emergency program,
"ALARM" flashes In the display. When reception of the emergency
program ends, reception of the program you were listening to before
the interruption resumes.
