Introduction of RDS operation
1 2 3 4
RDS (radio data system) is a system for provid-
ing information along with FM broadcasts.
This inaudible information provides such fea-
tures as program service name, program type,
traffic announcement standby and automatic
tuning, intended to aid radio listeners in find-
ing and tuning in to a desired station.
1Program service name
Shows the name of broadcast program.
2AF indicator
Shows when AF (alternative fre uencies
search) function is on.
3TA indicator
Shows when TA (traffic announcement
standby) function is on.
4TP indicator
Shows when a TP station is tuned in.
Notes
!RDS service may not be provided by all sta-
tions.
!RDS functions like AF and TA are only active
when your radio is tuned to an RDS station.
S itching the RDS display
When you tune in an RDS station its program
service name is displayed. If you want to know
the fre uency you can.
%Press EQ/DISP and hold until the dis-
play switches.
Press EQ/DISP and hold repeatedly to switch
between the following settings:
Program service namePTY information
Fre uency
PTY (program type ID code) information is
listed on page 11.
#PTY information and the fre uency of the cur-
rent station appears on the display for eight sec-
onds.
Receiving PTY alarm
broadcasts
PTY alarm is a special PTY code for announce-
ments regarding emergencies such as natural
disasters. When the tuner receives the radio
alarm code, ALARM appears on the display
and the volume adjusts to the TA volume.
When the station stops broadcasting the
emergency announcement, the system re-
turns to the previous source.
!An emergency announcement can be can-
celled by pressing TA.
!You can also cancel an emergency an-
nouncement by pressing SOURCE,BAND,
a,b,cor d.
Selecting alternative
frequencies
If you are listening to a broadcast and the re-
ception becomes weak or there are other pro-
blems, the unit will automatically search for a
different station in the same network which is
broadcasting a stronger signal.
!AF is on as a default.
1 Press TA and hold until the AF turns on.
AF indicator is displayed.

2 Press TA and hold until the AF turns off.
Notes
!Only RDS stations are tuned in during seek
tuning or BSM when AF is on.
!When you recall a preset station, the tuner
may update the preset station with a new fre-
uency from the stations AF list. (This is only
available when using presets on the F1 band.)
No preset number appears on the display if
the RDS data for the station received differs
from that for the originally stored station.
!Sound may be temporarily interrupted by an-
other program during a AF fre uency search.
!When the tuner is tuned to a non-RDS station
the AF indicator flashes.
!AF can be turned on or off independently for
each FM band.
Using PI Seek
If the unit fails to find a suitable alternative fre-
uency, or if you are listening to a broadcast
and the reception becomes weak, the unit will
automatically search for a different station
with the same programming. During the
search, PI SEEK is displayed and the output is
muted. The muting is discontinued after com-
pletion of the PI Seek, whether or not a differ-
ent station is found.
Using Auto PI Seek for preset
stations
When preset stations cannot be recalled, as
when travelling long distances, the unit can
be set to perform PI Seek during preset recall.
!The default setting for Auto PI Seek is off.
See Switching Auto PI Seek on page 16.
Limiting stations to regional
programming
When AF is used to automatically retune fre-
uencies, the regional function limits the se-
lection to stations broadcasting regional
programs.
%Press BAND and hold until the regional
function turns on or off.
Notes
!Regional programming and regional networks
are organized differently depending on the
country (i.e., they may change according to
the hour, state or broadcast area).
!The preset number may disappear on the dis-
play if the tuner tunes in a regional station
which differs from the originally set station.
!The regional function can be turned on or off
independently for each FM band.
Receiving traffic
announcements
TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you re-
ceive traffic announcements automatically, no
matter what source you are listening to. TA
can be activated for both a TP station (a sta-
tion that broadcasts traffic information) or an
enhanced other networks TP station (a station
carrying information which cross-references
TP stations).
1 Tune in a TP or enhanced other net-
works TP station.
When you are tuned into a TP or enhanced
other networks TP station the TP indicator will
light.

not expose the discs to high temperatures.
!Do not attach labels, write on or apply che-
micals to the surface of the discs.
!To clean dirt from a CD, wipe the disc with
a soft cloth outward from the center of the
disc.
!If the heater is used in cold weather, moist-
ure may form on components inside the
CD player. Condensation may cause the CD
player to not operate properly. If you think
that condensation is a problem turn off the
CD player for an hour or so to allow the CD
player to dry out and wipe any damp discs
with a soft cloth to remove the moisture.
