Thank you for purchasing the Clarion ARX9470R/ARX9470RW.
*
This
owner’s
manual
is
for
both
the
ARX9470R
and
the
ARX9470RW.
The
only
difference
between
these
models
is
the
colour
of
the
front
panel.
The operating
methods
are
the
same.
* Please read this owner’s manual in its entirety before operating this equipment.
* After reading this manual, be sure to keep it in a handy place (e.g., glove compartment).
* Check the contents of the enclosed warranty card and keep it carefully with this manual.
*
This
manual
includes
the
operating
procedures
of
the
CD
changer
that
is
connected
via
the
C-BUS
cable,
of
the
Digital
Sound
Processor
(DSP)
and
of
the
Equalizer
(EQ).
The
CD
changer,
DSP
or
Equalizer
has
its own
owner’s
manual,
but no
explanations
for
operating
it are
described.

RDS (Radio Data System)
This unit incorporates an RDS system decoder
for use with stations broadcasting RDS data.
This system enables the radio to display the name
of the station being received (PS), and also to
automatically switch to a better frequency when
one is available while you are traveling great dis-
tances (AF switching).
It can also interrupt a CD or tape with traffic in-
formation or the programme type broadcast by
an RDS station.
Additionally, if EON information is received, this
information enables automatic switching of other
preset stations on the same network and inter-
ruption of the station being received with traffic
information from other stations (TP). This func-
tion may not work in some regions.
To use the RDS function, be sure to set the radio
to FM mode.
eAF: Alternative Frequencies
*PS: Programme Service Name
ePTY: Programme Type
¢ EON: Enhanced Other Network
°TP: Traffic Programme
* Ifan RDS station can no longer be received clearly
(at the current location), “AF” flashes in the dis-
play. When reception is restored, “AF” stops flash-
ing.
AF function
The AF function enables the unit to maintain op-
timum reception by switching to different frequen-
cies on the same network.
