FM RDS operations

•Network-Tracking Reception requires two types of RDS signals—PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency) to work correctly. Without receiving these data correctly, Network- Tracking Reception will not operate correctly.

•If a Traffic Announcement is received by TA Standby Reception, the volume level automatically changes to the preset level (TA VOL) if the current level is lower than the preset level.

•When Alternative Frequency Reception is activated (with AF selected), Network- Tracking Reception is also activated automatically. On the other hand, Network- Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Frequency Reception. (See page 16.)
