NOTE
l
When turning the SEL switch is enabled, the
SEL indicator will appear on the display.
RDS uses PI (program identification) signal
and AF (alternative frequency) list transmit-
ted in addition to the normal FM broadcast-
ing programs, and picks up the FM stations
that are transmitting the same program from
the AF list and automatically tunes to the sta-
tion with the strongest signal intensity.
Therefore, you can continue listening to one
program in, for example, a long distance
driving without retuning to the other station
transmitting the same program when you are
leaving the service area of the currently re-
ceiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited re-
ception of the program types, the break-in re-
ception of the traffic announcement to the
EON (enhanced other network) and emergen-
cy broadcast, and the limited/unlimited re-
ception of the regional programs.
AF (Alternative Frequencies)
function
The AF function finds a station broadcasting
the same program and selects the station with
the strongest signal of AF lists.
The AF function is turned on at all times un-
less you manually switch it off.
The AF function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page
7-21.
CT (Clock Time) function
The clock can be set automatically by using
the signal from the local RDS stations. Refer
to “To adjust the clock” on page 7-27.
REG (Regional) function
REG function limits to receive the stations
broadcasting regional programs.
Regional programming and regional net-
works are organized differently depending on
the country or area (they may be changed ac-
cording to the hour, state, or broadcast area),
so if you don’t want to receive the regional
programs automatically, you can set up REG
ON not to receive regional programs.
The REG function can be turned ON and
OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page
7-21.
PI (Program Identification)
search function
When travelling long distance and the recal-
led preset station is weak, the radio searches
another frequency broadcasting the same pro-
gramming with the same PI code in AF list.
