Basics of EON (Enhanced Other Network information)
(European model only)
When EON is turned on, the receiver jumps to an EON-linked broadcast when it begins, even if a receiver function
other than the tuner is being used. It cannot be used in areas that EON information is not transmitted and when FM
broadcast stations do not transmit PTY data. When the broadcast ends, the tuner returns to the original frequency
or function.
There are two types of EON you can set:
1 TA (Traffic Announcement)
This mode will set the tuner to pick up traffic information when it’s broadcast.
2 NEWS
This mode will set the tuner to pick up news when it is broadcast.
Memo:
EON does not work when the tuner is in the AM band.
