Switching temporarily to a program of your choice automatically
Another convenient Radio Data System service is called “Enhanced Other Network.”
This allows the system to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of your choice (TA, News, and Info) from a different station.
•The Enhanced Other Network works while listening to an FM station providing the required signals.
The Enhanced Other Network function is only applicable to preset stations.
Select the program type(s).
Each time you press the button, the corresponding indicator on the display lights.
TA | Traffic announcement in your area |
News News
To stop listening to the program selected by Enhanced Other Network
Press TA/News/Info repeatedly again so that the program type indicator (TA/News/Info) goes off from the display. The system exits from Enhanced Other Network standby mode and goes back to the previously selected station.
When an emergency broadcast (ALARM signal) is sent from an FM station
The system automatically tunes in to the station and “ALARM” is shown on the display while the system receives the emergency broadcast.
Note that an emergency broadcast cannot be received in the following cases:
•When you are listening to
•When you select any source other than “FM.”
•When the system is in standby mode.
The TEST signal is used for equipment
The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as
Info
Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in the widest sense.
the ALARM signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the system automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal.
How the Enhanced Other Network function actually works
Case 1
If there is no station broadcasting the program you have selected
The system continues tuning in to the current station.
When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected, the system automatically switches to the station. The indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
When the program is over, the system goes back to the previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Network function still remains activated.
Case 2
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the program you have selected
The system continues to receive the station but the indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
When the program is over, the indicator of received PTY code stops flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other Network function still remains activated.
While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the display.
In Enhanced Other Network standby mode, if you change the source to play, Enhanced Other Network standby mode is canceled temporarily. If you change the source to FM again, the system returns to Enhanced Other Network standby mode.
Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this system.
Enhanced Other Network does not function for some FM stations with Radio Data System service.
While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced Other Network data.
While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network function, you can only use TA/News/Info and DISPLAY as the tuner operation buttons.
