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 non-RDS Networks—all AM (MW/
LW) and some FM stations.
• When the last received FM station is a non-RDS Networks.
• 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 for the tuner operations mode (see page 61).
From the remote control ONLY:
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.

When the current source is other than "FM"
If a station starts broadcasting the program you

have selected while listening to current source is
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 PTY code 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 PTY code
stops flashing and remains lit.
To stop listening to the program selected by the Enhanced Other
Networks function
Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly so that the program type (TA/
NEWS/INFO) indicator goes off from the display. The unit enters
the Enhanced Other Networks function off mode and goes back to
the previously selected source.
If an "Alarm!" (or TEST) signal is received from a station
the receiver automatically tunes in the station from any source
other than AM (MW/LW).
• 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.
Notes:
• Enhanced Other Networks data sent from some stations may not
be compatible with this receiver.
• In Enhanced Other Networks standby mode, if you carry out
synchronized recording (see page 55), Enhanced Other Networks
standby mode is canceled temporarily. The receiver goes back to
Enhanced Other Networks standby mode again when the recording
is finished.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other
Networks function, you can only use the DISPLAY MODE button as
the tuner operation buttons.
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.
