RDS Operations
RDS (Radio Data System)
This unit has a built-in RDS decoder system that
supports broadcast stations transmitting RDS
data.
This system can display the name of the
broadcast station being received (PS) and can
automatically switch to the broadcast station
with the best reception as you move long
distances (AF switching).
Also, if a traffic announcement or programme
type is broadcast from an RDS station, no
matter what mode you are in, this broadcast is
received.
Additionally, if EON information is received, this
information enables automatic switching of other
preset stations on the same network and
interruption of the station being received with
traffic information from other stations (TP). This
function is not available in some areas.
When using the RDS function, always set the
radio to FM mode.
• AF : Alternative Frequency
• PS : Programme Service Name
• PTY : Programme Type
• EON : Enhanced Other Network
• TP : Traffic Programme
∗ RDS interrupt does not function during AM radio
reception.
Manually tuning a regional station
in the same network
1. This function is valid when the AF function is
ON and the REG function is OFF.
Note:
• This function can be used when a regional
broadcast of the same network is received.
2. Press any one of the [DIRECT] buttons to
call out the regional station.
3. If the reception condition of the called out
station is bad, press the [DIRECT] button of
the same number. The unit receives a local
station on the same network.
TA (Traffic Announcement)
In the TA standby mode, when a traffic
announcement broadcast starts, the traffic
announcement broadcast is received as top
priority regardless of the function mode so you
can listen to it. Traffic programme (TP)
automatic tuning is also possible.
∗ This function can only be used when “TP” is lit in
the display. When “TP” is lit, this means that the
RDS broadcast station being received has traffic
announcement programmes.
●Setting the TA standby mode
If you press the [TA] button when only “TP” is lit
in the display, “TP” and “TA” light in the display
and the unit is set into the TA standby mode
until a traffic announcement is broadcast. When
a traffic announcement broadcast starts, “TRA
INFO” appears in the display.
If you press the [TA] button while a traffic
announcement broadcast is being received, the
traffic announcement broadcast reception is
cancelled and the unit goes into the TA standby
mode.
●Cancelling the TA standby mode
With “TP” and “TA” lit in the display, press the
[TA] button. The “TA” in the display goes off and
the TA standby mode is cancelled.
∗ If “TP” is not lit, pressing the [TA] button searches
for a TP station.
●Searching for a TP station
When “TP” is not lit, if you press the [TA] button,
“TA” in the display lights and the unit
automatically receives a TP station.
Note:
• If a TP station is not received, the unit continues
the search operation. Pressing [TA] button again
goes off “TA” in the display and stops TP station
searching.
