Switching to broadcast program of your choice temporarily

Another convenient RDS service is called “Enhanced Other Network”.

This allows the system to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of your choice (TA, NEWS, and/or INFO) from a different station except in the following cases;

•When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM – MW stations, some FM stations and other sources).

•When the system is in standby mode.

NOTE

Before you start operations;

•The Enhanced Other Network function is only applicable to preset stations.

IMPORTANT

Before using the remote control for the following operation;

1 Set the remote control mode selector to

AUDIO.

2 Press FM/AM.

Press TA/NEWS/INFO repeatedly until the program type indicator (TA/NEWS/INFO) you want appears on the display window.

TA:

widest sense.

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 window. 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 !” appears on the display window while the system receiving the emergency broadcast.

Note that an emergency broadcast cannot be received in the following cases;

•When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM – MW stations, some FM stations and other sources).

•When the system is in standby mode.

The TEST signal is used for equipment test — whether it can receive the Alarm signal correctly

The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as the Alarm signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the system automatically switches to the station broadcasting the TEST signal. While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the display window.

7How the Enhanced Other Network function actually worksCase 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.

NOTE

•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 RDS 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 RDS DISPLAY as the tuner operation buttons.
