Switching temporarily to a program of
your choice automatically
Another convenient Radio Data System service is called
“Enhanced Other Network.”
This allows the system to switch temporarily to a broadcast
program of your choice (TA, News, and Info) from a
different station.
• The Enhanced Other Network works while listening to an
FM station providing the required signals.
The Enhanced Other Network function is only
applicable to preset stations.
Select the program type(s).
To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced
Other Network
Press TA/News/Info repeatedly again so that the program
type indicator (TA/News/Info) goes off from the display.
The system 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 system automatically tunes in to the station and
“ALARM” is shown on the display while the system
receives the emergency broadcast.
Note that an emergency broadcast cannot be received in the
following cases:
• When you are listening to non-Radio Data System
stations—all AM (MW) stations and some FM stations.
• When you select any source other than “FM.”
• When the system is in standby mode.
The TEST signal is used for equipment test—whether it
can receive the ALARM signal correctly
The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as
the ALARM signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the
system automatically switches to the station broadcasting
the TEST signal.
While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the
display.
In Enhanced Other Network standby mode, if you
change the source to play, Enhanced Other Network
standby mode is canceled temporarily. If you change
the source to FM again, the system returns to
Enhanced Other Network standby mode.
Enhanced Other Network data sent from some
stations may not be compatible with this system.
Enhanced Other Network does not function for some
FM stations with Radio Data System 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
TA/News/Info and DISPLAY as the tuner operation
buttons.
Each time you press the button, the corresponding
indicator on the display lights.

How the Enhanced Other Network function
actually works
Case 1
If there is no station broadcasting the program you
have selected
The system continues tuning in to the current station.
When a station starts broadcasting the program you have
selected, the system automatically switches to the station.
The indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
When the program is over, the system goes back to the
previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Network
function still remains activated.
Case 2
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting
the program you have selected
The system continues to receive the station but the
indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
When the program is over, the indicator of received PTY
code stops flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other
Network function still remains activated.
