RDS (Radio Data System)
This unit has a built-in RDS decoder system that supports broadcast stations transmitting RDS
data. This system can automatically switch to the broadcast station with the best reception as you
move on long distances (AF switching). Also if a traffic announcement (TA) or programme type
(PTY) is broadcast from a RDS station, no matter what mode you are in. this broadcast is received.
Press and hold volume knob, the unit will enter setting menu.
Shortly press volume knob to choose your desire item. Rotate volume knob to choose
corresponding setting desired: AF (ON/OFF)
TA (ON/OFF)
TA-V
REG (ON/
OFF)
EON (LOC/DX)
PTY (ON/OFF)
SYNC (ON/OFF)
- Alternative frequency (AF)
When the AF switching mode is selected, the radio scans the signal strength of alternative
frequencies. A new AF is stronger than the current station, it switches over to that frequency for
very short time. (When AF flashes on LCD, it will search for the stronger RDS station.)
Segment off: AF switching mode off.
Segment on: AF switching mode on, and receive RDS information.
Segment flashing: AF switching mode on, but RDS information is not received yet.
- Traffic alarm (TA)
In the TA standby mode, when a traffic announcement broadcast starts, the traffic announcement
broadcast is received as top priority regardless of the function mode so you can listen to it.
If you select TA mode off, while a traffic announcement broadcast is being received, the traffic
announcement broadcast reception is cancelled and the unit goes into the TA standby mode.
Note: there is no TA function in DAB mode.
- TA SEEK/ TA ALARM
TA SEEK:
When newly tuned station does not receive TP information for 5 seconds, the radio retunes to next
station which doesn’t have the same station (PI) as the last station, but has the TP information.
When TP information gets lost at the current station for retune time which is set by RETUNE S
or RETUNE L, the radio starts to retune to next same PI station. When PI station does not catch
in one cyclic search, the radio retunes to next station with TP information.
Note: In TA SEEK mode, the current station can be changed to the completely different station
because the unit searches TP station when the field (signal) strength of the current station is
very weak, or the current station has no “TP” signal. (The higher priority is TP rather than PI.)
