Dolby Laboratories DVD & MP3 AF Alternative Frequency, EON Enhanced Other Networks, CT Clock Time

TUNER OPERATION

AF (Alternative Frequency)

■When the received signal of a given radio station becomes too weak for clear reception, the AF function enables the tuner to switch over to the same station that s broadcasted on another frequency that transmits the same program, but can be received with a stron- ger signal level and reproduced in higher quality.

EON (Enhanced Other Networks)

■This function is to improve the traffic announcement function of RDS tuners. Besides receiving traffic announcements of certain preset radio stations, EON provides traffic news of the current location to be transmitted – no matter what station is currently playing back.

PS (Program Service Name)

When radio station broadcasts with RDS data, the display of the headunit can automatically display the name of the currently received broadcasting station (instead of displaying the

tuning frequency only).

PTY (Program Type)

■Program type signal recognition, such as: news, rock, classic music, etc. You can select or search any kind of program material you’d like to hear by using the PTY function.

TA (Traffic Announcement)

■Traffic announcement function in the FM band: When an RDS-EON broadcasting radio station transmits traffic news, the built-in tuner can temporarily switch to an EON broad- casting station, to broadcast this message. After the traffic announcement is over, the tuner automatically switches back to the original broadcasting station you have chosen before, so you can listen to the original program without having to change the station.

■During playback of other sources like DVD or CDC, the TA function will insert TA informati- on automatically (when TA is activated). After the TA broadcasting is over, the receiver will automatically switch back to the original source that was playing before.

CT (Clock Time)

■The tuner will receive and accept time data to autocorrect the system clock.

Changing AF mode

■Pressing the AF key for a longer period of time changes the AF mode. When AF is activa- ted, the AF icon is illuminated and can be seen in the LCD display. When the current radio station signal becomes too weak, you can watch the AF icon blink as the tuner currently seeks a better station.

Changing Display

■Pressing the DISP button will change the display as follows: broadcasting station name type of stationCT stationcurrent frequency broadcasting station name

Select TA on

■When want to listen to traffic news and announcements, press the TA button for a longer

period of time, and switch to a station that broadcasts traffic news. Press the TA button once again to end the TA function.

Volume setup

■While you listen to TA controlled traffic news, you can rotate the VOLUME ADJUSTMENT knob to adjust the playback volume of the news you hear. The volume level you have set is stored, and the next time the TA function is activated, the volume level that was set before is used. The TA volume level is stored separately, and is therefore independent from the main volume setting.

Traffic Program searching tuner

■When TA is turned on, press the button or button, to start the TA auto search.

■When TA is off, activate the TA function, so the tuner can trigger a TP station search.
