RDS features
RDS (Radio Data System) is a broadcasting service which allows
FM stations to send additional information along with the regular
radio signal.
The additional information is derived from the features of RDS

The station name is displayed automatically when an RDS station
is tuned in.
Radio Text (RT)
You can show text information such as the title of a song on
the display.
Press RDS repeatedly when tuning in to an RDS
station.
If the tuned station is not transmitting text information,
"NO RT" will be displayed.
To return to the regular display
Press RDS again.
Program Type (PTY)
This is an identification to specify the program being broadcast
currently.
Press RDS repeatedly to display a program type when
tuning in to an RDS station.
The program type will be displayed for 6 seconds.

12
En
PTY Search
The unit can search for a station broadcasting your desired PTY
easily. To do so, you need to preset every available station in
advance since the unit searches only the preset stations.
1 Press RDS repeatedly until the program type of
the currentry tuned station is displayed.
2 Press for gto select a desired program
type and then press SET.
The search begins, stops when a suitable station is
detected, and the unit tunes it in.
"NOT FOUND" is displayed if a suitable station is not
found, and the unit returns to the previous station.
If there is no button input for 6 seconds in step 2, the
search is not activated.
Tip:
If TRAFFIC is selected , the unit searches for a station which
regularly broadcasts traffic announcements. Therefore, a
detected station may not be currently broadcasting traffic
announcements. You will, however, be able to hear the
announcements in a while.
EON Search
The unit can leap to a station which has just started broadcasting
your desired PTY.
In EON (Enhanced Other Networks information) Search, the
unit is in standby mode until the desired PTY begins. As soon
as it begins, the unit "leaps to" another station with the PTY
and returns to the previously tuned station when it ends. EON
Search makes the function above possible with the help of
EON which gives the receivers a cross reference to other stations.
You need to preset every available station in advance since the
unit searches only the preset stations.
1 Tune in an RDS station.
If "EON" lights up, proceed to the next step.
If not, try to tune in another RDS station until it does.
2 Press RDS repeatedly so that "EON PTY" is
displayed.
3 Press for gto select a desired program
type and then press SET.
"EON ON" is displayed for 2 seconds and then the unit
enters the standby mode while "EON" flashes. When the
unit leaps to another station, "EON" flashes rapidly.
If there is no button input for 6 seconds in step 3, the
search is not activated.
To stay to the "leaped to" station
Press s. The standby mode for EON Search is also cancelled.
To return to the previously tuned station from the
"leaped to" station
Press RDS repeatedly so that "EON PTY" and the specified
PTY are displayed alternately. Then press SET.
To cancel the standby mode for EON search
Press RDS repeatedly so that "EON PTY" and the specified
PTY are displayed alternately. Then press s.
•The standby mode for EON Search will not be cancelled
even if the unit is turned off.
Note on PTY & EON Search
PTY & EON Search do not function under the
following conditions:
-FM stations are not preset.
-The signals of the station broadcasting the desired PTY are
weak.
-FM RDS stations cannot be received.
Clock-time (CT)
You can automatically set and update the clock on the hour
every hour just by tuning in an RDS station since RDS stations
transmit clock signals.
1 Press RDS repeatedly to select "CT ON" while
the unit is on and the time is displayed (see
"Setting the clock").
2 Tune in an RDS station.
To deactivate CT function (If the clock is set wrongly
due to an incorrect clock signal)
Repeat step 1 to select "CT OFF".
Note on RDS features
The RDS features described above may not function correctly
if the RDS transmission data from the station contains too
much interference or the reception signal is too weak.
