RDS OPERATIONS
What you can do with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to
send an additional signal along with their regular
programmesignals.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 the RDS function is called
“Enhanced Other Networks.” By using the
Enhanced Other Networks data sent from a
station, you can tune in to a different station of a
different network broadcasting your favourite
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 favourite programme
• PTY (Programme Type) search
• Programme search
• And some other functions
Tracing the same programme
automatically (Network-Tracking
Reception)
When driving in an area where FM reception is not
good, the tuner built in this unit automatically tunes
in to 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).
Withoutreceiving these datacorrectlyfrom the RDS
station you are listening to, Network-Tracking
Reception will not operate.
To use Network-Tracking Reception
You can select the different modes of network-
tracking reception to continue listening to the
same programme in its finest reception.
When shipped from the factory, “AF” is selected.
• AF: Network-Tracking Reception is
activated with Regionalization set to
“off.”
With this setting, the unit switches to
another station within the same
network when the receiving signals
from the current station become
weak. (In this mode, the programme
may differ from the one currently
received.)
The AF indicator lights up but the
REG indicator does not.
• AF REG: Network-Tracking Reception is
activated with Regionalization set to
“on.”
With this setting, the unit switches to
another station, within the same
network, broadcasting the same
programme when the receiving
signals from the current station
become weak.
Both the AF indicator and the REG
indicator light up.
• OFF: Network-Tracking Reception is
deactivated.
Neither the AF indicator nor the REG
indicator lights up.
Note:
If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternatively
Reception (for DAB services) is activated, Network-
Tracing Reception is also activated automatically. On
the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be
deactivated without deactivating Alternative
Reception. (See page 36.)

Using TA Standby Reception
TA Standby Reception allows the unit to switch
temporarily to Traffic Announcement (TA) from the
current source (another FM station, CD or other
connected components).
•TAStandbyReceptionwill not work if you are listening
to an AM station.
7When the current source is FM, the TP
indicator either lights up or flashes.
• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby
Reception is activated.
If a station starts broadcasting a traffic
announcement, “TRAFFIC” appears on the
display, and this unit automatically tunes in
to the station.The volume changes to the
preset TA volume level (see page 17) and
the traffic announcement can be heard.
• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby
Reception is not yet activated since the
station being received does not provide the
signals used for TA Standby Reception.
To activate TA Standby Reception, you need
to tune in to another station providing these
signals. Press ¢or 4to search
for such a station.
When a station providing these signals is
tuned in, the TP indicator stops flashing and
remains lit. Now TA Standby Reception is
activated.
7When the current source is other than FM,
the TP indicator lights up.
If a station starts broadcasting a traffic
announcement, “TRAFFIC” appears on the
display, and this unit automatically changes the
source and tunes in to the station.
To deactivate theTA Standby Reception, press
