Operation

Using EON search (front panel only)

1

Put the receiver in FM band by pressing the
FM/AM button.

EON is only broadcast on FM.

2

Choose a station stored in the receiver’s
preset memory (see p. 25-26).

3

Press the EON MODE button and choose the
EON search you want.

There are two EON modes: EON TA and EON NEWS. EON TA will
automatically search for traffic reports and EON NEWS will
automatically search for news reports among your preset stations.

Each press changes the display as follows.

3

EON search has been set. If the receiver finds
an EON-linked broadcast it will automatically
jump to it.

The receiver is set to receive EON information even when it is not
in TUNER mode. If such information is found the receiver will
automatically switch into TUNER mode to pick up the EON
broadcast. When the programme ends the receiver will return to
the original mode.

When the EON mode is set the EON indicator with a box around it
ligh†s, but during actual reception of an EON-linked broadcast the
EON indicator will flash. An empty box in the EON indicator spot
means it is possible to pick up an EON-linked broadcast but the
receiver has not been set to do so (this will only appear when RDS
is switched on).

• The EON mode is cancelled if you switch to AM reception

while setting EON. It starts once again when you return to
FM reception.

• Simultaneous requests for Traffic Information (TA) and News

programmes is not possible.

• You cannot operate the MEMORY and CHARACTER/

SEARCH buttons while the EON indicator lights.

• Functions other than TUNER cannot be changed while the

EON indicator flashes (while receiving on EON-linked
broadcast).
If you want to change to a function other than TUNER, press
the EON MODE button and turn the EON mode off.
