What you can do with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM
stations to send an additional signal along
with their regular programme signals.
By receiving the RDS data, this receiver can
do the following:
• Programme Type (PTY) Search (see page 11)
• Temporarily switches to Traffic
Announcement—TA Standby Reception
(see the right column)
• Temporarily switches to your favorite
programme—PTY Standby Reception (see
pages 13 and 21)
• Tracing the same programme automatically
—Network-Tracking Reception (see page 13)
• Programme Search (see page 21)
Storing your favorite programmes
You can store six favorite programme types.
Preset programme types in the number buttons
(1 to 6):
1
Select a PTY code (see page 11).
2
Select the preset number (1 – 6) you
want to store into.
Ex.: When “ROCK M” is selected
3
Repeat steps
1
and
2
to store
other PTY codes into other preset

Finish the procedure.
Using the standby receptions
TA Standby Reception
TA Standby Reception allows the receiver to
switch temporarily to Traffic Announcement
(TA) from any source other than AM.
The volume changes to the preset TA volume
level (see page 21).
To activate TA Standby Reception
The TP indicator either
lights up or flashes.
• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby
Reception is activated.
• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby
Reception is not yet activated. (This occurs
when you are listening to an FM station
without the RDS signals required for TA
Standby Reception.)
To activate TA Standby Reception, tune in to
another station providing these signals. The
TP indicator will stop flashing and remain lit.
To deactivate the TA Standby Reception
The TP indicator goes off.
