What you can do with RDS EON
RDS OPERATIONS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their
regular programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as
information about what type of programme they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
Another advantage of RDS function is called “EON (Enhanced Other Networks).” The EON
indicator lights up while receiving an FM station with the EON data. By using the EON data
sent from a station, you can tune into a different station of a different network broadcasting
your favorite programme or traffic announcement while listening to another programme or to
another source such as CD.
By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the following:
• Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-Tracking Reception)
• Standby Reception ofTA (Traffic Announcement) or your favorite programme
• PTY (ProgrammeType) search
• TP (Traffic Programme) search
• And some other functions
Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-
Tracking Reception)
Whendriving in an area where FM receptionisnotgood,thetunerbuiltin this unit automatically
tune in another RDS station, broadcasting the same programme with stronger signals. So,
you can continue to listen to the same programme in its finest reception, no matter where you
drive.(See the illustration on the next page.)
Two types of the RDS data are used to make Network-Tracking Reception work correctly —
PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency).
Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, Network-
Tracking Reception will not operate.
To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and hold TP RDS (Traffic
Programme/Radio Data System) for more than 1 second. Each time you
press and hold the button, Network-Tracking Reception modes change as
follows:

Note:
In this mode, the programme may differ from the one currently received.
