RDS OPERATIONS
What you can do with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to
send an additional signal along with their regular
programme signals. For example, the stations
send their station names, as well as information
about what type of programme they broadcast,
such as sports or music, etc.
Another advantage of RDS function is called
“Enhanced Other Networks.” By using the
Enhanced Other Networks data sent from a
station, you can tune in to a different station of a
different network broadcasting your favorite
programme or traffic announcement while
listening to another programme or to another
source such as CD.
By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the
following:
• Tracing the same programme automatically
(Network-Tracking Reception)
• Traffic News Standby Reception or your
favorite programme
• PTY (Programme Type) search
• Programme search
• And some other functions
Tracing the same programme
automatically (Network-Tracking
Reception)
When driving in an area where FM reception is
not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically
tunes in to another RDS station, broadcasting the
same programme with stronger signals. So, you
can continue to listen to the same programme in
its finest reception, no matter where you drive.
(See the illustration on page 22.)
Two types of the RDS data are used to make
Network-Tracking Reception work correctly
—PI (Programme Identification) and AF
(Alternative Frequency).
Without receiving these data correctly from the
RDS station you are listening to, Network-
Tracking Reception will not operate.
To use Network-Tracking Reception
You can select the different modes of network-
tracking reception to continue listening to the
same programme in its finest reception.
When shipped from the factory, “AF” is selected.
• AF:
Network-Tracking Reception is
activated without Regionalization.
With this setting, the unit switches to
another station within the same
network when the receiving signals
from the current station become
weak. (In this mode, the programme
may differ from the one currently
received.)
The AF indicator lights up.
• AF Reg: Network-Tracking Reception is
activated with Regionalization.
With this setting, the unit switches to
another station, within the same
network, broadcasting the same
programme when the receiving
signals from the current station
become weak.
The REG indicator lights up.
• Off*:
Network-Tracking Reception is
deactivated.
Neither the AF nor the REG indicator
lights up.
*
You can select only when “DAB AF” is
set to “Off.” (See page 54 for details.)
Note:
If Alternative Reception (for DAB services) is
activated, Network-Tracking Reception is also
activated (“AF”) automatically. On the other hand,
Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated
without deactivating Alternative Reception. (See page
29.)
AF or REG indicator lights up.
