USING THE RDS FUNCTIONS
10
Traffic information recognition (TP,
10
)
If the RDS-station tuned on, the unit recognizes RDS-frequencies
with traffic information(TP). “TP” will be indicated on the display in
reception of one of these frequencies.
NOTE
: During traffic announcement CD playing stops. You can
hear traffic announcement at normal volume also in low
volume status, if the TA-function is activated.
PI seek
PI-automatic seek starts automatically, if you recall a preset button
when its reception is weak. PI-seek ends automatically if a station
with the same PI and a better reception is found. During seek the
unit is searching for a station with the same program
identification(PI) and a better reception. It is useful in some areas
where some stations send no AF-list.
If the radio doesn’t find a station with the same PI-code, it returns
to the station you heard before.
What is EON?
EON(Enhanced Other Network) is a new RDS service provided
by certain station networks.
Even if you are tuned in to an RDS station which does not give
traffic news, e.g. a classical music program, you can still get the
traffic news by pressing TA/TPST-button, which tunes your radio
in to the traffic news. If another RDS transmitter now starts to
broadcast traffic news, yours radio automatically switches to this
station for the traffic news. When the traffic news is finished, it
switches back to the station you were on before.
NOTE
: Thanks to this new RDS-function, the alternative
frequency list of the selected chain of stations is
automatically updated and this ensures that there is
always an instant automatic search of the best RDS
stations in all programs to the particular chain of stations.
Program type recognition (PTY,
8
)
Radios equipped with PTY are able to display the various
program features of an individual station. By selecting the PTY
function you can get stations with the feature you want, i.e
stations which broadcast mainly news bulletins, sports, pop music
or rock music, for example.
The radio will then only seek those with the features you have
preselected.
