EON (Enhanced Other Networks)

•When tuning in a broadcasting station transmitting EON data, the EON indicator is lit and the following operations start.

EON automatically stores the frequencies of stations from other networks transmitting information codes (TP/TA/AF/PTY/PS (Programme Service), etc.) so they can be mutually used. The following points have been improved:

When listening to a station NOT transmitting traffic information or the selected PTY for example, EON automatically tunes to a station in a local network when this information is broadcast and then switches back to the original programme when the broadcast ends. (However, it does not switch back to the original programme if the broadcast continues for a long time.) The transmitted information (AF and other codes) is constantly and automatically updated so that preset programme information can be heard immediately even if in a different network area.

Traffic information volume control

This function adjusts the volume of traffic information broadcasts.

1.Press the SEL button for more than 2 seconds to set the preferred setting mode.

2.Select “TA VOL” with the or button.

3.Set to the desired volume with the + or – button. (See page 22.)

Number buttons

When a number button is pressed, if the station with that frequency is broadcasting a sufficiently strong signal, the receiver will tune to that frequency.

When the signal strength is not sufficient for good reception, by referring to the AF list, the receiver searches for a station broadcasting the same programme with a stronger signal. If a station cannot be found in the AF list, PI- seek tuning starts. If a station broadcasting the same PI code cannot be detected in one search-cycle, PI-seek tuning is released and the original preset frequency is tuned to.

CT (Clock Time)

When CT data is received in the RDS signal, the time is correctly renewed.

• RDS updates the local time according to

•When automatic renewal of clock time is NOT required, follow the steps below.

1.Press the SEL button for more than 2 seconds to set the preferred setting mode.

2.Select “AUTO ADJ” with the or button.

3.Press the – button and set to “ADJ OFF”. (See page 22.)

Once these steps are completed, clock time is not renewed even if the CT (Clock Time) data is received with the RDS signal. When you wish to reactivate this mode, repeat the same procedure and in step 3 press the + button to set to “ADJ ON.” In the activated mode, clock time is automatically renewed when the CT data is received.

Note:

It takes at least 2 minutes to renew the time after receiving CT data. The station must be received for more than 2 minutes continuously, otherwise the clock time will NOT be renewed.

Display Mode

Setting the main display mode.

1.Press the SEL button for more than 2 seconds to set the preferred setting mode.

2.Select “DISPMODE” with the or button.

3.Select the desired mode with the + or – button.

(Station name (PS NAME) ÔFrequency being received (FREQ) Ô Clock time (CLOCK) Ô) (See page 22.)

Note:

When the “CLOCK” mode is set, clock time remains on the main display even during tape (or CD (KS-FX430R only)) playback.

Display Button

The DISP button is used to select the Operation (Tuner, Tape or CD (KS-FX430R only)) and Clock modes. Each time the button is pressed, the display changes as follows:

Operation mode (Station name* =Frequency being received =PTY* ; or TAPE; or CD (KS- FX430R only)) = Clock time.

The display returns to the initially preset mode after a short while.

*When the RDS or PTY signal is weak or when not tuned to an RDS or PTY station, the Station name or PTY is NOT displayed.
