How the EON function actually works:
CASE 1

The unit continues tuning in the current station.
˙
When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected, the unit automatically switches to the station. The indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
˙
When the program is over, “EON END” appears in the main display, and the unit goes back to the previously tuned station, but the EON function still remains activated.
CASE 2
If there is a station broadcasting the program you have selected
The unit tunes in the program. The indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
˙
When the program is over, “EON END” appears in the main display, and the unit goes back to the previously tuned station, but the EON function still remains activated.
CASE 3
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the program you have selected
The unit continues to receive the station but the indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
˙
When the program is over, the indicator of received PTY code stops flashing and remains lit, but the EON function still remains activated.
More about the EON function
•EON data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this unit. In this case, the EON function may not work correctly.
•While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same EON data.
•The EON function is canceled when you change the source to CD, TAPE, or AUX, while it is temporarily canceled when you change the source to AM.
