How the Enhanced Other Networks function actually works:
CASE 1
If there is no station broadcasting the program you have selected:
The system continues tuning in to the current station.
When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected, the system automatically switches to the station. The data type starts flashing on the display window.
When the program is over, the system goes back to the previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Networks function still remains activated.
CASE 2
If there is a station broadcasting the program you have selected:
The system tunes in to the program. The data type starts flashing on the display window.
When the program is over, the system goes back to the previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Networks function still remains activated.
To cancel the Enhanced Other Networks function, select “OFF” in Step 2.
•The Enhanced Other Networks function will also be canceled when you change the source or when you turn off the main unit.
NOTE
•The Enhanced Other Networks data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this system.
•While listening to a program tuned in to by the Enhanced Other Networks function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced Other Networks data.
•If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned in to by the Enhanced Other Networks function and the currently tuned station, press TA/ News/Info to cancel the Enhanced Other Networks function.
