Using the Radio Data System (RDS)
Monitoring traffic, news, or information
programmes (EON)
The EON (Enhanced Other Network) function allows the
receiver to switch automatically to a station broadcasting
traffic announcements, news or information programmes.
When such a programme starts on a station networking
with the preset FM RDS station, the receiver automatically
tunes in the station.
After the programme ends, the receiver switches back to
the original preset station or the programme source you
were originally listening to.
1
Tune to an FM station.
2
Press RDS EON to select the programme you want
to monitor.
Each time you press RDS EON, the indicators light as
follows:
TA (Traffic Announcement)
.
NEWS
.
INFO (Information)
.
OFF (No indication lights up)
The receiver enters EON standby mode.
“NO TA”, “NO NEWS”, or “NO INFO” appears if you
press RDS EON before tuning to an RDS station.
When a station starts broadcasting the programme you
selected, the receiver switches to the station, a message
(e.g., “NOW TA”) appears and the respective indicator
(e.g.,“TA”) flashes. After the programme ends, the
receiver switches back to the station you were listening to
(or the function you were using).
To stop monitoring the programme
Press RDS EON once.
Turn off the EON feature when you want to record a
programme without interruptions, especially when you
want to do timer recording.
Notes
• To use this function, be sure to store the RDS stations
beforehand.
• When the selected station has a weak signal, “WEAK SIG”
appears and then, the receiver returns to the previous station or
programme source.
Locating a station by programme type
(PTY)
You can locate a station you want by selecting a
programme type. The receiver tunes in the type of
programmes currently being broadcast from the RDS
stations stored in the receiver's preset memory.
1
Press RDS PTY to display the current PTY type.
Press PRESET/PTY SELECT + or – until the
programme type you want appears in the display.
See the following table for the programme types you
can select.
2
Press RDS PTY while the programme type appears
in the display.
The tuner starts searching the preset RDS stations for
the programme (“SEARCH” and the programme type
are displayed alternately).
When the receiver finds the programme you are
looking for, it stops searching. The preset number of
the preset station currently broadcasting the selected
programme type flashes, and the receiver receives the
station.
Note
“NO PTY” appears when the programme type that you've
selected is not being broadcast and the receiver returns to the
original station.
