- If the RDS station does not suport AF data list or if the tuner cannot read AF data from
receiption, no network tracking is possible. Switching to alternative frequencies does
not work.
After turning the RDS feature on, AF can be set to become "ON" or "OFF" using the
OSD menue.
- AF "OFF": When the AF switching mode is set to OFF and RDS is set to "ON", a maxi-
mum number of 6 RDS and non-RDS channels will be stored together.
- AF "ON": When the AF switching mode is set to ON the RDS station information will
only be displayed.
- Illuminated AF Segment: When the AF switching mode is "ON", the radio continual-
ly checks the AF signal strength. The interval of checking time of each AF depends on
the signal strength of current station which can be anywhere from a few seconds for
strong station to a few minutes for weak station. Every time a new AF is stronger than
a current station, the AF will switch over to the stronger station quickly.
- REG mode "ON": When the Region mode is set to ON the AF switching is implemen-
ted to the station that has all PI codes that are same as the current station. "REG ON"
should be shown on screen. (Can be adjusted within the RDS Setup menu)
- REG mode "OFF": When the regional mode is "OFF" the radio may switch from a
national program station to a local variant of that program, or from a local station in
an area to a local station in another area. This may cause customers to listen to a wrong
program. To avoid this feature set the Region mode to "ON", and then the radio will
only switch to an AF that broadcasts Region mode to the same program. To switch the
REG function "ON"/"OFF" please push the right joystick for 2 seconds up (see page
10 button 6).
TA (Traffic Announcement) / TP (Traffic Program)
TP mode will automatically switch between "ON" and "OFF" depending upon the
broadcast. In order to access the TA mode. To switch the TA function "ON"/"OFF" plea-
se push the right joystick for 2 seconds down (see page 10 button 7). When the TA
mode is "ON" and a traffic announcement is received the following may occur:
1. The unit will switch from the different sources temporarily to radio mode.
2. The volume level will be raised to the threshold point.
3. When a TP station is received, the OSD will display "TA ON".
