33 RDS Basics

Enhanced Other Networks (EON)

The following functions are available when receiv- ing RDS stations.

¡Program Service Name Display (PS Display)

When EON data is received, the EON indicator lights and the TA and AF functions are expanded as follows.

The name of station is displayed instead of the frequency.

Note: It seldom happens that PS display does not show the information correctly because a special font is used. However, this is not due to malfunction.

¡Clock Time Service (CT Service)

When receiving an RDS station, the CT (Clock Time) service automatically adjusts the time and date.

¡Alternative Frequency (AF)

When reception is poor, an RDS station broad- casting the same program is tuned in automati- cally.

¡Region Mode

Changes the selection range of AF and Best Station Search. (a page 37 for Best Station Search)

Traffic Announcements

Some RDS FM stations periodically provide traffic information.

¡Traffic Program (TP)

Broadcasting of traffic information

¡Traffic Announcements (TA)

Radio announcements on traffic conditions

Program Type Display

¡Program Type (PTY)

RDS FM stations provide a program type identi- fication signal.

Example: news, rock, classical music, etc.

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 information. It constantly updates the AF list of pre- set stations, including the one 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 any other station serv- ing the same program. EON also keeps track of locally available TP stations for quick reception.

Emergency Announcement

Reception

FM mode

When an emergency announcement is broadcast, the unit is automatically switched to receiving that broadcast.

Other mode

If this happens in a mode other than radio mode (CD changer mode, VTR1 mode, VTR2 mode) or in Muting in TA mode, “Alarm!” lights on the dis- play. (a page 39 for Muting in TA mode)

Note: When LW/MW mode is activated, an emer- gency announcement can not be received auto- matically.
