Other convenient RDS functions and adjustments

Automatic selection of the station when using the number buttons

Usually when you press the number button, the preset station is tuned in.

However, when the preset station is an RDS station, something different will happen. If the signals from that preset station are not sufficient for good reception, this unit, using the AF data, tunes in to another frequency broadcasting the same programme as the original preset station is broadcasting. (Programme search)

•The unit takes some time to tune in to another station using programme search.

To activate programme search, follow the procedure below.

•See also “Changing the general settings (PSM)” on page 52.

1 Press and hold SEL (select) for more than

2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display.

3Press ¢ or 4 to select “P(Programme)-Search.”

4Turn the control dial clockwise to select “On.” Now programme search is activated.

5 Press SEL (select) to finish the setting.

Automatic clock adjustment

When shipped from the factory, the clock built in this unit is set to be readjusted automatically using the CT (Clock Time) data in the RDS signal.

If you do not want to use automatic clock adjustment, follow the procedure below.

•See also “Changing the general settings (PSM)” on page 52.

1 Press and hold SEL (select) for more than

2 seconds so that one of the PSM items appears on the display.

Now automatic clock adjustment is canceled.

5Press SEL (select) to finish the setting.

To reactivate clock adjustment, repeat the same procedure and select “On” in step 4 by turning the control dial clockwise.

Note:

You must stay tuned to the same station for more than 2 minutes after setting “Auto Adj” to “On.” Otherwise, the clock time will not be adjusted. (This is because the unit takes up to 2 minutes to capture the CT data in the RDS signal.)
