stations are stored in FM3 even if FM1 or FM2
was chosen for storing stations.

RDS Operations
RDS (Radio Data System)
This unit has a built-in RDS decoder system that
supports broadcast stations transmitting RDS
data.
This system can display the name of the broad-
cast station being received (PS) and can auto-
matically switch to the broadcast station with the
best reception as you move long distances (AF
switching).
Also, if a traffic announcement or programme
type is broadcast from an RDS station, no matter
what mode you are in, this broadcast is received.
Additionally, if EON information is received, this
information enables automatic switching of other
preset stations on the same network and inter-
ruption of the station being received with traffic
information from other stations (TP). This func-
tion is not available in some areas.
When using the RDS function, always set the ra-
dio to FM mode.
AF : Alternative Frequency
PS : Programme Service Name
PTY : Programme Type
EON : Enhanced Other Network
TP : Traffic Programme
∗
RDS interrupt does not function during AM radio
reception.
∗
When set receives RDS signal, and can read PS
data, PS appears in the display.
TA (Traffic Announcement)
In the TA standby mode, when a traffic announce-
ment broadcast starts, the traffic announcement
broadcast is received as top priority regardless of
the function mode so you can listen to it. Traffic
programme (TP) automatic tuning is also pos-
sible.
∗
This function can only be used when “
TP
” is lit in
the display. When “
TP
” is lit, this means that the
RDS broadcast station being received has traffic
announcement programmes.
