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
radio to FM mode.

quency on the same network in order to main-
tain optimum reception.

AF function between RDS and DAB
When the same programme is broadcast by
both RDS and DAB, and this function is ON, the
unit switches to receiving the broadcast with the
better reception automatically.
∗
This function only operates when the DAH913 or
DAH9500z DAB unit, sold separately, is connected.
∗
This factory default setting is “ON”.
Auto store
Auto store is a function for storing up to 6 sta-
tions that are automatically tuned in sequentially.
If 6 receivable stations cannot be received, a
previously stored station remains unoverwritten
at the memory position.
1. Press the [BND] button and select the de-
sired band (FM or AM (MW/LW)).
2. Press and hold the [P/A] button for 2 sec-
onds or longer. The stations with good recep-
tion are stored automatically to the preset
channels.
∗
If auto store is performed in the FM bands, the
stations are stored in FM3 even if FM1 or FM2
was chosen for storing stations.
Preset scan
Preset scan receives the stations stored in pre-
set memory in order. This function is useful
when searching for a desired station in memory.

2. When a desired station is tuned in, press the
[P/A] button again to continue receiving that
station.

function is engaged and the unit starts storing
stations.
