Radio Data System (RDS) in FM Broadcasting

TA On/Off
Pressing [TA] toggles TA on and off.
(Default: OFF)
The following functions are available when the TA mode
is active.
• A TP station is automatically searched for and received
at the instant of toggling the TA mode on if you are
receiving a non-TP station or a TP station with poor
reception.
• When executing seek tuning or APM, only TP stations
are selected. ( page 13 for "Auto Preset Memory
(APM)")
•
Seeking TA on with the unit in another mode, it
will automatically switch to the radio mode and
a traffi c announcement is broadcast on the radio
when the traffi c announcement begins. The traffi c
announcement having fi nished, the unit return to the
previous mode. (TA standby mode)
Traffi c Information Only (TA Mute)
While listening to an FM station which is not currently
broadcasting traffi c announcement, turn the [VOL] to
the counterclockwise to set the volume to 0. The traffi c
announcement will be output at the TA volume level.
Enhanced Other Networks (EON)
When EON data is received, the EON indicator lights and
the TA and AF functions are expanded as follows.
TA:
Traffi c 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
information. It constantly updates the AF list of preset
stations, including the one that is currently tuned in
to. For example, 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 reception.
