RDS uses PI (programme identification) signals and AF (alter-
native frequency) lists transmitted in addition to the normal
FM broadcasting programmes. It picks up the FM stations that
are transmitting the same programme from the AF list and
automatically tunes to the station with the strongest signal
intensity.
You can therefore continue listening to a programme on, for
example, a long-distance drive without retuning to another sta-
tion transmitting the same programme when leaving the service
area of the station you are currently receiving.
The RDS radio also features reception limited to programme
types, interrupts for traffic announcements received via EON
(enhanced other network) and emergency broadcasts, as well
as limited/unlimited reception of regional stations.
AF (Alternative Frequencies) function
E00720900087
The AF function finds a station broadcasting the same pro-
gramme and selects the station with the strongest signal of AF
lists.
The AF function is turned on at all times unless you manually
switch it off.
The AF function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 5-53.
CT (Clock Time) function
E00721000072
The clock can be set automatically by using the signal from the
local RDS stations. Refer to “Digital clock” on page 5-76.
REG (Regional) function
E00721100073
REG function limits to receive the stations broadcasting
regional programmes.
Regional programming and regional networks are organsied
differently depending on the country or area (they may be
changed according to the hour, state, or broadcast area), so if
you don’t want to receive the regional programmes automati-
cally, you can set up REG ON not to receive regional pro-
grammes.
The REG function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 5-53.
PI (Programme Identification) search function
E00721200087
When the reception of a preset station becomes weak during
long-distance travel, the radio searches for another frequency
broadcasting the same programming with the same PI code in
AF list.
If no frequencies with the same programming are found, the
radio searches the frequencies for regional broadcasting. If the
search in the regional broadcasts succeeds, the display will
show the REG indicator (13).
If the radio does not succeed when searching the regional pro-
grammes, the radio will return to the original preset station.
On some vehicles the PI function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 5-53.
NOTE
●
While searching, the audio system is muted. The display
shows “WAIT” or “SEARCH”.
