Switching to a Program of Your
Choice Automatically
Another convenient RDS service is called “Enhanced Other
Networks.”
This allows the receiver to switch temporarily to a broadcast
program of your choice (TA, NEWS, and/or INFO) from a different
source except in the following cases:
• When you are listening to a non-RDS station—all AM (MW) and
some FM stations.
• When the last received FM station is a non-RDS station.
• When the receiver is in standby mode.
Before you start, remember...
• The Enhanced Other Networks function is only applicable to
preset FM stations.
• You can use the Enhanced Other Networks function while
listening to any source. However, to use the RDS operation
buttons on remote control, the remote control operation mode
must be set for the tuner operations mode (see page 31).
Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly to select the program type(s)
you want.
• Each time you press the button, the program type(s) change, and
the corresponding indicators light up on the display.
TA:
Traffic Announcement in your area.
NEWS:
News.
INFO:
Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in
the widest sense.

If a station starts broadcasting the program you
have selected while listening to any source other
than “FM”
When a station is or starts broadcasting the program you have
selected, the receiver automatically switches to the station.
The indicator of received program type starts flashing.
When the program is over, the receiver goes back to the
previously selected source, but still remains in Enhanced
Other Networks standby mode. The indicator of received
program type stops flashing and remains lit.
‘
To stop listening to the program selected by the Enhanced Other
Networks function
Press TA/NEWS/INFO so that the program type (TA/NEWS/INFO)
indicator stops flashing and remains lit. The unit enters the
Enhanced Other Networks standby mode and goes back to the
previously selected source.
Notes:
• Enhanced Other Networks data sent from some stations may not
be compatible with this receiver.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other
Networks function, you can only use the DISPLAY MODE and
TA/NEWS/INFO buttons as the tuner operation buttons.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other
Networks function, you cannot change to another source or station.
To change it, press TA/NEWS/INFO button first to cancel Enhanced
Other Networks.
CAUTION:
When the source alternates intermittently between the station
tuned in by the Enhanced Other Networks function and the
currently selected source, press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly to
cancel the Enhanced Other Networks function.
If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is
received finally, and one of the TA/NEWS/INFO indicators
flashing on the display disappears.
If an “ALARM” (or TEST) signal is received from a station,
the receiver automatically tunes in to the station.
• While receiving an emergency broadcast, “ALARM” appears
on the display.
The TEST signal is used for testing the “ALARM” signal.
Therefore, it makes the unit work in the same way as the
“ALARM” signal does.
