Using the Tuner
Basics of EON
EON (Enhanced Other Network information)
EON is a function that allows you to set the receiver to
switch to a frequency automatically when a programme
featuring traffic information or news is being broadcast.
It cannot be used in areas that
EON information is not
transmitted and when FM broadcast stations do not
transmit PTY data. When the broadcast ends, the tuner
returns to the original frequency or function.
There are two types of EON you can set the tuner to:
1 TA (Traffic Announcement)
This mode will set the tuner to pick up traffic
information when it is broadcast.
2 NEWS
This mode will set the tuner to pick up news when it
is broadcast.
Setting EON allows automated reception of TA/
NEWS broadcasts
When EON is turned on, the receiver will automatically
jump to those EON-linked broadcasts. Even if a receiver
function other than the tuner is being used, the receiver
function will switch to the FM station automatically
when an EON-linked Traffic Information or News
programme begins. When the programme ends, the
original function will be restored. The EON function will
not operate, however, when the the tuner is on AM.
The receiver’s internal Programme
Identification function
PI (Programme Identification)
This is an identifying marker the tuner automatically
attaches to stations stored in your preset memory classes
(see p. 25). The marker distinguishes between stations
which transmit RDS data and those that don’t, so that
the receiver knows which stations to look at when
searching for RDS or EON transmissions. The code is
not displayed on the receiver and you don’t need to do
anything in regards to setting the PI codes.
PI code registration
The receiver will automatically register a PI code for any
station you input into the memory classes (see p. 25)
which can receive RDS or EON data.
To erase PI codes, follow this procedure:
1. Press the EON MODE button for two seconds
or more.
“ ERASE PI ” will be displayed.
2. Press MEMORY button within 5 seconds.
Searching for RDS Programmes
One of the most useful features of RDS is the ability to
search for a particular kind of radio programme. You can
search for any of the programme types listed on page
27—this covers all kinds of music, as well as news,
weather forecasts, sports programmes, and a variety of
others.
1 Press BAND button to select the FM band.
RDS is only broadcast on FM.
2 To select the PTY search mode press the
CHARACTER/SEARCH button until you see
SEARCH in the display.

3 Use the STATION +/– buttons to select the
programme type you want to hear.

4 Press MEMORY search for the programme
type.
The tuner searches through the FM stations stored in
the station memories.
If the tuner finds a matching programme type, the
tuner plays 5 seconds of the station. To listen to that
station, press the
MEMORY button. (The tuner stops
searching.)
If you don’t press the
MEMORY button during the
above mentioned 5 seconds, the tuner resumes the
search.
When the tuner finds a programme type you
searched for, the frequency display will blink for
about 5 seconds and then the display will show
FINISH briefly.
