Another convenient RDS service is called “EON (Enhanced Other
Network).”
The EON indicator works and lights up while receiving an FM
station with the EON code.
This allows the unit to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of
your choice (TA, NEWS, and/or INFO) from a different station
except in the following cases:
• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM — MW/LW
and some FM stations).
• When the unit is in standby mode or TV Direct.
• When the unit selects the other source.

Before you start, remember...

How the EON function actually works:
CASE 1
If there is no station broadcasting the program you have
selected
The unit continues tuning in the current station.
«
When a station starts broadcasting the program you have
selected, the unit automatically switches to the station. The
indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
«
When the program is over, “EON END” appears in the display,
and the unit goes back to the previously tuned station, but the
EON function still remains activated.
CASE 2
If there is a station broadcasting the program you have
selected
The unit tunes in the program. The indicator of received PTY
code starts flashing.
«
When the program is over, “EON END” appears in the display,
and the unit goes back to the previously tuned station, but the
EON function still remains activated.
CASE 3
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the
program you have selected
The unit continues to receive the station but the indicator of
received PTY code starts flashing.
«
When the program is over, “EON END” appears in the display,
and the indicator of received PTY code stops flashing and
remains lit, but the EON function still remains activated.
To stop listening to the program selected by EON
Press EON so that the program type (TA/NEWS/INFO) indicator
goes off from the display. The unit enters EON off mode and goes
back to the previously selected source.
• Each time you press EON, the EON mode alternates between
standby mode and off mode.
When an emergency broadcast (ALARM ! signal) is sent from
an FM station:
The unit automatically tunes in the station except in the following
cases:
• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM — MW/LW
and some FM stations).
• When the unit is in standby mode or TV Direct.
• When the unit selects the other source.
While receiving an emergency broadcast, “ALARM !” appears on
the display.
The TEST signal is used for equipment test — whether it can
receive the ALARM ! signal correctly.
The TEST signal makes the unit work in the same way as the
ALARM ! signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the unit
automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal.
While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the display.
Notes:
• EON data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this
unit.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, the
station does not change even if another network station starts
broadcasting a program of the same EON data.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, you can
only use the EON and DISPLAY MODE buttons as the tuner
operation buttons.
• If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned by
the EON function and the currently tuned station (“WAITING”
flashes in the display), press EON to cancel the EON function.
If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is
received finally, and the indication of the EON data type flashing on
the display disappears.
