Switching to broadcast program of your
choice temporarily
Another convenient RDS service is called “Enhanced Other
Network”.
This allows the system 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
stations, some FM stations and other sources).
• When the system is in standby mode.
NOTE
Before you start operations;
• The Enhanced Other Network function is only applicable to preset
stations.
IMPORTANT
Before using the remote control for the
following operation;
1 Set the remote control mode selector to
AUDIO.
2Press FM/AM.
Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly until the
program type indicator (TA/NEWS/INFO)
you want appears on the display window.
Each time you press the button, the indicator on the display window
changes.
TA: Traffic Announcement in your area.
NEWS: News.
INFO: Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in the
widest sense.
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 window. 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 !”
appears on the display window while the system receiving the
emergency broadcast.
Note that an emergency broadcast cannot be received in the
following cases;
• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM – MW
stations, some FM stations and other sources).
• 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
window.
7 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.
NOTE
• 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 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 TA/NEWS/INFO and RDS DISPLAY as
the tuner operation buttons.
