When the receiver is in standby mode.

Before you start, remember...

The Enhanced Other Networks function is only applicable to preset FM stations.

When the current source is “FM”

When a station is or starts broadcasting the program you have selected, the receiver automatically switches to the station. The indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.

When the program is over, the receiver goes back to the previously selected source, but still remains in Enhanced Other Networks standby mode. The indicator of received PTY code stops flashing and remains lit.

To stop listening to the program selected by the Enhanced Other Networks function

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly so that the program type (TA/ NEWS/INFO) indicator goes off from the display. The unit enters the Enhanced Other Networks function off 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 the station from any source other than AM (MW/LW).

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.

• In Enhanced Other Networks standby mode, if you carry out

synchronized recording (see page 55), Enhanced Other Networks

standby mode is canceled temporarily. The receiver goes back to

Enhanced Other Networks standby mode again when the recording

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.
