RDS OPERATIONS

What you can do with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of programme they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

Another advantage of RDS function is called “Enhanced Other Networks.” By using the Enhanced Other Networks data sent from a station, you can tune in to a different station of a different network broadcasting your favorite programme or traffic announcement while listening to another programme or to another source such as tape.

By receiving the RDS data, this unit can do the following:

•Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-Tracking Reception)

•Standby Reception of TA (Traffic Announcement) or your favorite programme

•PTY (Programme Type) search

•Programme search

•And some other functions

Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-Tracking Reception)

When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically tunes in to another RDS station, broadcasting the same programme with stronger signals. So, you can continue to listen to the same programme in its finest reception, no matter where you drive. (See the illustration on page 17.)

Two types of the RDS data are used to make Network-Tracking Reception work correctly—PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency).

Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, Network- Tracking Reception will not operate.

To use Network-Tracking Reception

You can select the different modes of network- tracking reception to continue listening to the same programme in its finest reception.

When shipped from the factory, “AF” is selected.

• AF:

Network-Tracking Reception is

 

activated without Regionalization.

 

With this setting, the unit switches to

 

another station within the same

 

network when the receiving signals

 

from the current station become

 

weak. (In this mode, the programme

 

may differ from the one currently

 

received.)

 

The AF indicator lights up but the

 

REG indicator does not.

•AF REG: Network-Tracking Reception is activated with Regionalization.

With this setting, the unit switches to another station, within the same network, broadcasting the same programme when the receiving signals from the current station become weak.

Both the AF and REG indicators light up.

• OFF:

Network-Tracking Reception is

 

deactivated.

 

Neither the AF nor REG indicator

 

lights up.

Note:

If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternative Reception (for DAB services) is activated, Network-Tracking Reception (“AF”) is also activated automatically. On the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception. (See page 35.)
