/AUDIO FUNC./SETUP

Setting RDS Reception Mode and Receiving RDS Stations

The RDS (Radio Data System) is a radio information system using the 57 kHz subcarrier of regular FM broadcast. The RDS allows you to receive a variety of information such as traffic information, station names, and to automatically re-tune to a stronger transmitter that is broadcasting the same programme.

1 Press FUNC./SETUP so that the indicator lights up.

2 Press 1/AF to activate the RDS mode.

3 Press or to tune in the desired RDS station.

4 Press 1/AF again to deactivate the RDS mode.

5 Press FUNC./SETUP to activate the normal mode.

The indicator goes out.

•Operate the unit while the indicator lights up. If no operation is

performed for 10 seconds, the indicator goes out.

The RDS digital data includes the following:

PI

Programme Identification

PS

Programme Service Name

AF

List of Alternative Frequencies

TP

Traffic Programme

TA

Traffic Announcement

EON

Enhanced Other Networks

8-EN

Recalling Preset RDS Stations

1 Press FUNC./SETUP so that the indicator lights up.

2 Press 1/AF to activate the RDS mode.

3 Press FUNC./SETUP to activate the normal mode.

The indicator goes out.

4 Make sure that theindicator light goes out, then press the preset button in which your desired RDS station is preset.

If the preset station’s signal is weak, the unit automatically searches and tunes to a stronger station in the AF (Alternative Frequencies) list.

5 If the preset station and the stations in the AF list cannot be received:

When the PI SEEK setting is on (refer to “PI SEEK Setting” on page 9), the unit searches again for a station in the PI (Programme Identification) list.

If there are still no stations receivable in the area, the unit displays the frequency of the preset station and the preset number disappears.

If the signal level of the Regional (Local) station being tuned becomes too weak to receive, press the same preset button to tune in a Regional station in other district.

•For presetting the RDS stations, refer to the Radio Operation section. The RDS stations can be preset in the F1, F2 and F3 bands only.

•Operate the unit while theindicator lights up. If no operation is

performed for 10 seconds, the indicator goes out.

Receiving RDS Regional (Local) Stations

1 Press and hold FUNC./SETUP for at least 2 seconds to activate the SETUP mode.

2 Turn the Rotary encoder (CDE-9874 Series only) or press and (CDE-9872 Series only) to select the REGIONAL mode, and then press //ENT.

3 Turn the Rotary encoder (CDE-9874 Series only) or press and (CDE-9872 Series only) to select ON or OFF.

In the OFF mode, the unit automatically keeps receiving the related local RDS station.

4 Press and hold FUNC./SETUP for at least

2 seconds to return to normal mode.

•Press /SOUND (CDE-9874 Series only) or /AUDIO (CDE-9872 Series only) to return to the previous mode.

•If no operation is performed for 60 seconds, the unit will return to normal mode automatically.
