RDS

Switching the RDS display

When you tune in an RDS station its program service name is displayed. Switch the
display to find out the frequency.
* Press DISPLAY.
Press DISPLAY repeatedly to switch between the following settings:
Program service name – PTY information – Frequency
• The frequency of the current station appears on the display for eight seconds.

Selecting alternative frequencies

If you are listening to a broadcast and the reception becomes weak or there are other
problems, the unit will automatically search for a different station in the same network
which is broadcasting a stronger signal.
• The default setting for AF is on.
1. Press FUNCTION to select AF.
Press FUNCTION until AF appears in the display.
2. Press 8 to turn AF on.
Press 8 and AF :ON is displayed.
3. Press 2 to turn AF off.
Press 2 and AF :OFF is displayed.
Notes
• Only RDS stations are tuned in during seek tuning or BSM when AF is on.
• When you recall a preset station, the tuner may update the preset station with a new
frequency from the station's AF list. (This is only available when using presets on the FM1
or FM2 bands.) No preset number appears on the display if the RDS data for the station
received differs from that for the originally stored station.
• Sound may be temporarily interrupted by another program during an AF frequency search.
• AF can be turned on or off independently for each FM band.

Using PI Seek

If the unit fails to find a suitable alternative frequency, or if you are listening to a
broadcast and the reception becomes weak, the unit will automatically search for a
different station with the same programming. During the search, PI SEEK is displayed
and the output is muted. The muting is discontinued after completion of the PI Seek,
whether or not a different station is found.
Using Auto PI Seek for preset stations
When preset stations cannot be recalled, as when travelling long distances, the unit
can be set to perform PI Seek during preset recall.
• The default setting for Auto PI Seek is off. See "Switching Auto PI Seek" on page 29.

Limiting stations to regional programming

When AF is used to automatically retune frequencies, the regional function limits the
selection to stations broadcasting regional programs.
1. Press FUNCTION to select REG.
Press FUNCTION until REG appears in the display.
2. Press 8 to turn the regional function on.
Press 8 and REG :ON is displayed.
3. Press 2 to turn the regional function off.
Press 2 and REG :OFF is displayed.
Notes
• Regional programming and regional networks are organized differently depending on the
country (i.e., they may change according to the hour, state or broadcast area).
• The preset number may disappear on the display if the tuner tunes in a regional station
which differs from the originally set station.
• The regional function can be turned on or off independently for each FM band.

Receiving traffic announcements

TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you receive traffic announcements
automatically, no matter what source you are listening to. TA can be activated for both
a TP station (a station that broadcasts traffic information) or an enhanced other
network's TP station (a station carrying information which cross-references TP
stations).
1. Tune in a TP or enhanced other network's TP station.
When you are tuned into a TP or enhanced other network's TP station the TP indicator
will light.
2. Press TA to turn traffic announcement standby on.
Press TA and TA :ON appears in the display. The tuner will stand-by for traffic
announcements.
• To turn traffic announcements standby off, press TA again.
