RDS Basics
Some FM stations are broadcasting added data compatible
with RDS. This radio set offers convenient functions using
such data.
RDS service availability varies with areas. Please under-
stand if RDS service is not available in your area, the fol-
lowing service is not available, either. This chapter explains
the summary and operation regarding RDS.
The following functions are available when receiving RDS
stations.
Programme Service Name (PS) Display
The name of the station is displayed.
Alternative Frequency (AF)
When reception is poor, an RDS station broadcasting the
same programme is tuned in automatically.
Traffic Programme (TP)
Some RDS FM stations periodically provide a traffic
announcement.
Stations which broadcast the traffic announcement are
called Traffic Programme (TP).
Traffic Announcement (TA)
Radio announcements on traffic conditions.
Clock Time (CT) Service
When receiving an RDS station, the CT service automatical-
a
ly adjusts the time. (
Page 40 for Clock Setting)
Programme Type (PTY) Display
RDS FM stations provide a programme type identification
signal.
Example: news, rock, classical music, etc. (

page 30)
Programme Identification (PI)
Each programme has its own number. This may be used to
search for another frequency on which the same pro-
gramme is broadcast.

Other RDS functions
Enhanced Other Networks (EON)
When EON data is received, the EON indicator lights and
the TA and AF functions are expanded as follows.
TA: Traffic information from the current and other network
stations can be received.
AF: The frequency list of preset RDS stations is updated
by EON data.
EON enables the radio to make fuller use of RDS informa-
tion. It constantly updates the AF list of preset stations,
including the one that is currently tuned in to. For exam-
ple, if you preset a station far from home, you will later be
able to receive the same station at an alternative frequency,
or another station serving the same programme. EON also
keeps track of locally available TP stations for quick recep-
tion.
Emergency Announcement Reception
When an emergency announcement is broadcast, the unit
is automatically switched to receiving that broadcast (Even
when in the CD mode or MP3/WMA mode). During receiv-
ing the emergency announcement, "ALARM" appears on
the display.
Note:
¡ Emergency announcements are broadcast at the TA vol-
ume level. (
