To temporarily switch to a broadcast
programme of your choice
EON (Enhanced Other Networks) is another convenient
RDS service that allows this unit to switch temporarily to a
broadcast programme of your choice (NEWS, TA or INFO)
from the currently selected station, except if you are listen-
ing to a non-RDS station (all AM (MW/LW) stations or
some FM stations).
• If an FM station does not broadcast EON information,
EON cannot be activated.

programme type (TA, NEWS or INFO) indicator starts
blinking.

rently selected station, but still remains in EON Standby
mode.

rently selected station, but still remains in EON Standby
mode.
• If the EON is in standby mode and the function (CD, MD/
AUX) switch is changed or the power is switched off, then
the EON mode will be released. When the band is set to
AM (MW/LW), the EON is not activated. When the band is
set to FM again, the EON will be set to standby mode.
• When the EON is being operated (i.e. the selected pro-

broadcasting the alarm is received with priority. “Alarm !”

CAUTION:
• When the sound alternated intermittently
between the station tuned in by the EON
function and the current selected station,
cancel the EON mode. This does not consti-
tute malfunction of the unit.
