Switching to broadcast program of your choice temporarily
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 station except in the following case:
•The Enhanced Other Networks mode only works when receiving an FM station with the Enhanced Other Networks code.
Before you start, remember...
The Enhanced Other Networks function is only applicable to preset FM stations.
Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly until the program type you want appears on the display.
•Each time you press the button, the program type(s) change, and the corresponding indicator(s) light up as follows:
TA NEWS INFO TA/NEWSTA/INFO
Canceled TA/NEWS/INFO NEWS/INFO
TA: Traffic Announcement in your area.
NEWS: News.
INFO: Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in the widest sense.
How the Enhanced Other Networks function actually works:
If another FM station starts broadcasting the program type you have selected while you are listening to an FM station
The receiver automatically switches to the station. The indicator of the received program type starts flashing.
‘
When the program is over, the receiver goes back to the station previously tuned in, but still remains in Enhanced Other Networks standby mode. The indicator of the received program type stops flashing and remains lit.
If the station currently tuned in starts broadcasting the program type you have selected
The receiver continues to receive the station, but the indicator of the received program type starts flashing.
‘
When the program is over, the indicator of the received program type stops flashing and remains lit, but the receiver remains in Enhanced Other Networks standby mode.
To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced Other Networks
Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly again so that the program type (TA/NEWS/INFO) indicator goes off from the display. The receiver exits from Enhanced Other Networks standby mode and goes back to the previously selected station.
When an emergency broadcast (Alarm ! signal) is sent from an FM station
The receiver automatically tunes in to the station except in the following cases:
•When you are listening to
•When the receiver is in standby mode.
While receiving an emergency broadcast, “Alarm !” appears on the display.
The TEST signal is used for equipment
The TEST signal makes the receiver work in the same way as the Alarm ! signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the receiver automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal.
While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the display.
NOTES
•Enhanced Other Networks data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this receiver.
•Enhanced Other Networks does not function for some FM stations with RDS service.
•While listening to a program tuned in 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.
•While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Networks function, you can only use the TA/NEWS/INFO and
DISPLAY.
CAUTION:
If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned by the Enhanced Other Networks function and the currently tuned station, 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 the indication of the Enhanced Other Networks data type flashing on the display disappears.
