To stop listening to the program selected by the Enhanced Other Networks function
Press TA/NEWS/INFO so that the program type (TA/NEWS/INFO) indicator stops flashing and remains lit. The unit enters the Enhanced Other Networks standby mode and goes back to the previously selected source.
If an “ALARM” (or TEST) signal is received from a station,
the receiver automatically tunes in to the station.
•While receiving an emergency broadcast, “ALARM” appears on the display.
The TEST signal is used for testing the “ALARM” signal. Therefore, it makes the unit work in the same way as the “ALARM” signal does.
Notes:
•Enhanced Other Networks data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this receiver.
•While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Networks function, you can only use the DISPLAY MODE and TA/NEWS/INFO buttons as the tuner operation buttons.
•While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Networks function, you cannot change to another source or station. To change it, press TA/NEWS/INFO button first to cancel Enhanced Other Networks.
CAUTION:
When the source alternates intermittently between the station tuned in by the Enhanced Other Networks function and the currently selected source, press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly to cancel the Enhanced Other Networks function.
If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is received finally, and one of the TA/NEWS/INFO indicators flashing on the display disappears.
