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, and is intended to aid radio listeners in
finding and tuning in to a desired station.
!RDS service may not be provided by all sta-
tions.
!RDS functions such as AF and TA are only
active when your radio is tuned to an RDS
station.
1Program service name
Shows the name of broadcast program.
2AF indicator
Shows when AF (alternative frequencies
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.
Switching the RDS display
When you tune in an RDS station its program
service name is displayed. Switch the display
to find out the frequency.
%Press DISPLAY.
Press DISPLAY repeatedly to switch between
the following settings:
Program service namePTY information
Frequency
PTY (program type ID code) information is
listed on page 10.
#PTY information and the frequency 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-
celed by pressing TA.
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.
!The default setting for AF is off.
%Press TA and hold repeatedly to turn AF
on or off.
When AF is on, AF appears in the display.
Notes
!Only RDS stations are tuned in during seek
tuning or SM when AF is on.
!When you recall a preset station, the tuner
may update the preset station with a new fre-
quency 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 an AF frequency
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-
quency, 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 15.
Limiting stations to regional
programming
When AF is used to automatically retune fre-
quencies, 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-
wor s TP station.
When you are tuned into a TP or enhanced
other networks TP station the TP indicator will
light.
2 Press TA to turn traffic announcement
standby on.
TA appears in the display. The tuner will stand-
by for traffic announcements.
#To turn traffic announcements standby off,
press TA again.
3 Use VOLUME to adjust the TA volume
when a traffic announcement begins.
The newly set volume is stored in memory and
recalled for subsequent traffic announce-
ments.
4 Press TA while a traffic announcement
is being received to cancel the announce-
ment.
The tuner returns to the original source but re-
mains in the standby mode until TA is pressed
again.
Notes
!The system switches back to the original
source following traffic announcement recep-
tion.
!Only TP and enhanced other networks TP sta-
tions are tuned in during seek tuning or SM
when TA is on.
