CT (Clock Time)
When CT data is received in the RDS signal,
the time is correctly renewed.
• RDS updates the local time according to
Greenwich Mean Time.
• When automatic renewal of clock time is
NOT required, follow the steps below.
1. Press the SEL button for more than 2
secondsto set the preferredsetting mode.
2. Select “AUTO ADJ” with the ¢or
4button.
3. Press the “–” level control button and set to
“ADJ OFF”. (See page 25.)
Once these steps are completed, clock time
is not renewed even if the CT (Clock Time)
data is received with the RDS signal. When
you wish to reactivate this mode, repeat the
same procedure and in Step 3 press the “+”
Level Control button to set to “ADJ ON.” In
theactivatedmode,clock timeisautomatically
renewed when the CT data is received.
Note:
It takes at least 2 minutes to renew the time after
receiving CT data. The station must be received
for more than 2 minutes continuously, otherwise
the clock time will NOT be renewed.
Traffic information volume control
This function adjusts the volume of traffic
information broadcasts.
1. Press the SEL button for more than 2
secondsto set the preferredsetting mode.
2. Select “TAVOL” with the ¢or 4

Number buttons
When a number button is pressed, if the
station with that frequency is broadcasting a
sufficiently strongsignal, thereceiver willtune
to that frequency.
When the signal strength is not sufficient for
good reception, by referring to theAF list, the
receiver searches for a station broadcasting
the same programme with a stronger signal.
If a station cannot be found in theAF list, PI-
seek tuning starts. If a station broadcasting
the same PI code cannot be detected in one
search-cycle, PI-seek tuning is released and
the original preset frequency is tuned to.
EON (Enhanced Other Networks)
• When tuning in a broadcasting station
transmitting EON data, the EON indicator
is lit and the following operations start.
EON automatically stores the frequencies
ofstations from other networkstransmitting
information codes (TP/TA/AF/PTY/PS
(Programme Service), etc.) so they can be
mutually used. The following points have
been improved:
When listening to a station NOT transmitting
traffic information or the selected PTY for
example,EONautomaticallytunestoastation
in a local network when this information is
broadcast and then switches back to the
originalprogrammewhen thebroadcastends.
(However, it does not switch back to the
originalprogrammeif thebroadcast continues
for a long time.) The transmitted information
(AF and other codes) is constantly and
automatically updated so that preset
programme information can be heard
immediatelyevenifin adifferentnetworkarea.
