Receiving Broadcasts
Using the Radio Data System (RDS)
(This function is for models of area code CED only.)
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station on the FM band using direct
tuning (page 47), automatic tuning (page 47), or
preset tuning (page 48).
When you tune in a station that provides RDS services,
the RDS indicator lights up and the program station name
appears in the display.
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned to is not
transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is
weak.
Displaying RDS information
While receiving an RDS station, press DISPLAY
repeatedly to change the RDS information on the
display window.
Notes
• If there is an emergency announcement by government
authorities, “Alarm-Alarm!” flashes in the display.
• If a station does not provide a particular RDS service, “No XX”
(such as “No Clock Time”) appears in the display.
• When a station broadcasts radio text data, it is displayed at the
same rate at which it is sent from the station. Any change in
this rate is reflected in the display rate of the data.
Scanning preset stations by program type
You can tune in preset stations according to a program
type that you specify. The receiver scans for stations in its
preset memory currently broadcasting the specified
program type.
1 Press PTY.
2 Press (TUNING) PTY SELECT + or (TUNING) PTY
SELECT – to select the program type.
See the table on the next page for information on each
program type.
3 Press PTY.
While the receiver is scanning stations, “PTY
SEARCH” and the program type indication appear
alternately in the display window.
When the receiver finds a station, the receiver stops
scanning.
When the receiver could not find any preset stations
currently broadcasting the specified program type,
“PTY not found” appears in the display.
Using the EON function
The EON (Enhanced Other Network) function allows the
receiver to switch automatically to a station broadcasting
traffic announcements, news, or information programs.
When such a program starts on a station networking with
the preset FM RDS station, the receiver automatically
tunes in the station.
After the program ends, the receiver switches back to the
original preset station or the program source you were
originally listening to.
