Switching to Broadcast
Program of
Your Choice Temporarily
Another convenient RDS service is called “Enhanced Other
Network.”
This allows the unit to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of
your choice (TA, NEWS, and/or INFO) from a different station
except in the following cases:
• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM—MW/LW
stations, some FM stations and other sources).
• When the unit is in standby mode or in TV Direct.
Before you start, remember...
The Enhanced Other Network function is only applicable to preset
stations.

How the Enhanced Other Network function actually works:
CASE 1
If there is no station broadcasting the program you have
selected
The unit continues tuning in the current station.
«
When a station starts broadcasting the program you have
selected, the unit automatically switches to the station. The
indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
«
When the program is over, the unit goes back to the previously
tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Network function still
remains activated.
To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced Other
Network.
Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the program type
(TA/NEWS/INFO) indicator goes off from the display. The unit
exits from Enhanced Other Network standby mode and goes back to
the previously selected station.
When an emergency broadcast (ALARM signal) is sent from an
FM station.
The unit automatically tunes in the station except in the following
cases:
• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM—MW/LW
stations, some FM stations and other sources).
• When the unit is in standby mode or TV Direct.
While receiving an emergency broadcast, “ALARM” appears on the
display.
The TEST signal is used for equipment test—whether it can
receive the ALARM signal correctly.
The TEST signal makes the unit work in the same way as the
ALARM signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the unit
automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal.
While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the display.
Notes:
• Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may not be
compatible with this unit.
• Enhanced Other Network does not function for some FM stations
with RDS service.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other
Network function, the station does not change even if another
network station starts broadcasting a program of the same
Enhanced Other Network data.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other
Network function, you can only use the TA/NEWS/INFO and
DISPLAY MODE as the tuner operation buttons.
• If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned by
the Enhanced Other Network function and the currently tuned
station, press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly to cancel the Enhanced
Other Network function.
If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is
received finally, and the indication of the Enhanced Other Network
data type flashing on the display disappears.
