To stop monitoring the programme

Press the EON button once.

The unit returns to the currently selected

EON standby mode.

To receive the RDS information while

the system power is turned off

Because EON standby mode works even

when the power is off, there is no need to

leave the radio playing unnecessarily. This

feature allows you to listen only when the

information that you want to hear is being

broadcast.

Press EON so that TA, NEWS or INFO

appears in the display. The unit enters

the EON standby mode.

system.

"EON Wait?" and "Push EON KEY"

appear alternately.

3 Press EON within 6 seconds.

"EON WAITING" appears in the

display. The unit goes into the EON

standby mode, and the system power is

automatically turned on upon receiving

an EON programme. When the

programme is finished, the unit is

turned off and returns to the EON

standby mode.

Notes

¢ When the currently being received station

broadcasts the Traffic-Announcement

Identification, "Now TA" appears in the

display.

¢ When the currently being received station

broadcasts the programme you selected

(TA, NEWS or INFO), the station will not

switch.

¢ Not all RDS stations provide EON service.

¢ "Weak Signal" appears if the EON station

which the unit automatically switched to

cannot provide RDS data due to a weak

signal.

¢ "Returning" appears about 4 minutes

after a signal from an EON station which

becomes weak, thus preventing the

station from providing RDS data. This

indicates that the unit is attempting to re-

tune the EON station.

Notes on EON and recording

¢ While in the middle of recording, the

EON receiving function does not operate.

¢ When beginning recording during EON

reception, the recording will

automatically stop when the EON

programme is finished.

Notes on EON and timer

e When the timer is turned on while

receiving an EON programme, the station

set with the timer will not be received.

¢ When the timer is set and the unit is in

EON standby mode, pressing the EON

button while "EON Wait?" and "Push

EON KEY" is displayed after turning off

the system power, the unit continues

EON standby mode even when the power

is off, but the timer will not operate.

Notes on EON and the Function

Selectors

¢ When an EON programme is received

while playing tape or CD, the function is

automatically switched to tuner mode and

the playback of the current source is

stopped. When the EON reception is

finished, the system returns to the

playback of the previously selected

source. (CD playback resumes from the

point where playback was interrupted

when EON started.)

¢ When the function is switched while

receiving an EON programme, it will not

return to the former setting nor start

playback after the broadcast is finished.

Searching for RDS stations

by Programme Type

You can search through all the stored RDS

stations for a specific type of programme

currently being broadcast.

Note

If you want to tune in traffic, news, or

information programmes as they occur on

the RDS network, use the EON feature (see

"Information Programmes (EON)"). The

EON feature allows the unit to

automatically switch to these programmes

as they begin broadcasting.
