band, however it can only store a total of 32 preset stations.
Presetting allows you to tune in to a station directly. Stations are
assigned preset numbers, beginning from 1 in consecutive order
for each band (FM, MW, LW).
Automatic presetting:
This unit has a function for reception of **RDS (Radio Data
System) and other stations.
FM RDS stations take priority over other FM stations if there are
more than 16 receivable stations.

When automatic presetting has been completed, the display
returns to the first preset station.
When the tuner detects **identical RDS stations with
alternative frequencies
Only the station with the stronger signal is stored.
Before storing an RDS station, the tuner checks first whether
the same stations on the other frequencies are present, and
stores the station with the best reception.
When automatic presetting is done, ail previously stored stations
are cleared.
“RDS
Today many stations transmit so-called RDS (Radio Data
. System) codes that contain a variety of additional
information along with the regular sound signals.
*2identical RDS stations with alternative
frequencies (AF)
This is a list of alternative frequencies which gives
information on the various transmitters broadcasting the
same program in the same reception area. It enables
receivers equipped with memory to store the list, to
reduce the time for switching to another transmitter.

SEARCHING WITH THE HELP OF
RDS CODES
Each RDS station identifies the type of program (*4PTY) which it
is currently broadcasting. If you specify a PTY, the unit can
automatically detect a suitable station from the preset stations.
In addition, the **EON (Enhanced Other Networks) service works
in some areas, so that searching is much faster.

Press the PTY button during RDS reception.
Programs are classified as follows:
TRAFFIC, NEWS, AFFAIRS (current affairs), INFO
(information), SPORT, EDUCATE (education), DRAMA,
CULTURE, SCIENCE, VARIED, POP M (pop music), ROCK
M (rock music), M.O.R.M. (middle of the road music), LIGHT
M. (light classical), CLASSICS (serious classical), OTHER M
(other music), ALARM
[NOTE
* lf program type information is not being transmitted, “NO PTY”

EON service for the PTY search
When EON service works to transmit PTY, a suitable station is
detected without checking every preset station. When a station
transmits EON information, it takes about 30 to 60 seconds for
the unit to decode the EON information. After decoding the
information, EON lights up on the display.
When a station is not found
“NOT FOUND?’ is displayed and the unit returns to the previous
station.
When the TRAFFIC program type is selected |
The unit searches for a station transmitting a *°TP code.
However, the tuned station may not be broadcasting a traffic
announcement currently. Wait for a while. The tuned station
broadcasts traffic information regularly and a traffic
announcement will be made.
*sProgram service station name (PS)
This is a name consisting of not more than 8 alphanumeric

applicable to receivers, a space is left instead.
“Program type identification (PTY)
PTY allows selection of listening by one of 15 or more
program types rather than by a station.
*sEnhanced other networks information (EON)
EON information gives the receiver a cross referenc: to
other stations and allows the receiver to switch fromime -
currently tuned station to another RDS station.
“Traffic program identification (TP)
