RDS services
This unit automatically provides RDS services as
follows:
Notes
• Depending on the country/region, not all RDS
functions may be available.
• RDS will not work if the signal strength is too weak,
or if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting
RDS data.
Setting AF and TA
1 During reception/playback, touch “AF”
or “TA” to activate either function.
When activated, the key color changes.
To deactivate, touch again.
Storing RDS stations with the AF and
TA setting
You can preset RDS stations along with the AF/
TA setting. If you use the BTM function, only
RDS stations are stored using the same AF/TA
setting.
If you preset manually, you can preset both RDS
and non-RDS stations with the AF/TA setting for
each.
1 Set AF/TA, then store the station with BTM or
manually.
Receiving emergency
announcements
With AF or TA on, emergency announcements
will automatically interrupt the currently selected
source.
Tip
If you adjust the volume level during a traffic
announcement, that level will be stored into memory
for subsequent traffic announcements, independently
from the regular volume level.
Staying with one regional program
— Regional
When the AF function is on, this unit’s factory
setting restricts reception to a specific region, so
you will not be switched to another regional
station with a stronger frequency.
If you leave this regional program’s reception
area, deactivate the regional function during FM
reception.
Touch “Receive Menu,” then the “Regional” box
to set to “OFF.”
Note
This function does not work in the UK and in some
other areas.
Local Link function (UK only)
This function enables you to select other local
stations in the area, even if they are not stored on
numbers.
1 During FM reception, touch “Preset List,” then
a number (“P1” to “P6”) to which a local
station is stored.
2 Within 5 seconds, touch the number of the
local station again.
Repeat this procedure until the local station is
received.
Selecting PTY
1 During FM reception, touch “PTY List.”
The PTY list appears if the station is
transmitting PTY data.
To scroll the list, touch v/V.
2 Touch the desired program type.
The unit searches for a station broadcasting
the selected program type.
To close the PTY list, touch “PTY List.”
AF (Alternative Frequencies)
Selects and retunes the station with the
strongest signal in a network. By using this
function, you can continuously listen to the
same program during a long-distance drive
without having to retune the same station
manually.
TA (Traffic Announcement)/TP (Traffic
Program)
Provides current traffic information/programs.
Any information/program received will
interrupt the currently selected source.
PTY (Program Types)
Displays the currently received program type.
Also searches for a designated program type.
CT (Clock Time)
The CT data from the RDS transmission sets
the clock.
