„ Notes for RDS operation

If any of the following events occur, it does not mean that the unit is

faulty:

z "PS", "NO PS" and a station name appear alternately, and the unit does not oper-

ate properly.

z If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a station is conducting tests,

the RDS reception function may not work properly.

z When you receive an RDS station whose signal it too weak, information like the

station name may not be displayed.

z "NO PS", "NO PTY", "NO RT" or "NO CT" will flash for about 5 seconds, and then

the frequency will be displayed.

Notes for Radio text:

z The radio text for 8 characters will be displayed steadily for 4 seconds and then it

will scroll across the display.

z If you tune in to an RDS station which is not broadcasting any radio text, "NO RT"

will be displayed when you switch to the radio text position.

z Whilst radio text data is received or when the text contents change, "RT" will be

displayed.

Notes for PTY Languages:

z When you press the DISPLAY MODE button after entering the PS (Programme

Service), PTY Languages mode will be selected. In this mode, PTY names will be

displayed automatically in the local language where an RDS station is located.

Eight languages (including English) are available.

z If you tune in to an RDS station which is not broadcasting PTY language data, the

PTY name will be displayed in English.

z A PTY name may be displayed in English for a short time, until a signal determin-

ing the local PTY language is received.

z PTY languages are also used for PTY-Search and EON-PTY operation at any DIS-

PLAY MODE except PTY English.

About the "TP" and "TA" indicators:

"TP"

"TA"

Meaning

Not lit

Does not carry traffic announcements nor does it refer, via

EON, to a programme that does.

Not lit

Lit

Carries EON information about another programme which

gives traffic information.

Lit

Not lit

Carries traffic announcements but not at present and may

also carry EON information about other traffic announce-

ments.

In the following cases, the EON stand-by mode will be cancelled.

z When you press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode.

z When the unit is switched to another band in the EON stand-by mode.

z When you change the FM station whilst in the EON stand-by mode.

z When a preset call is made.

Notes:

z Whilst the same programme as the specified PTY (or TA) is being broadcast, the

unit will not switch to an ON (other network) station.

z If there are more than two other network stations, compare the strength of signal

and tune in to the station with the strongest signal (EON-AF). If other network sta-

tion has been stored in the preset channel memory, the unit will switch to that

channel.

z If you want to leave an ON (other network) station tuned in by the EON and return

to the station you were receiving, press the EON button.

z After the unit returns to the original station, the stand-by mode will still be active.

(The "TI" or "PTY" will remain lit.)

z The unit does not switch between ON stations. It returns to the original station.

z If there is any problem with the ON station the unit switched to, "WEAK SIG" will

appear and the unit will return to the original station.

z If the signal from the ON station the unit switched to is very weak, the unit will

search for another station with the strongest signal. However, if the signals from all

stations are weak or not good (due to electrical noise), the unit displays "WEAK

SIG" and returns to the original station.
