Many FM stations are broadcasting added data compatible with RDS. This radio set offers
convenient functions using such data.
RDS (Radio Data System) Reception
AF (Alternative Frequency)
When receiving condition becomes poor, an RDS
station with the same program will be automatically
selected.
EON (Enhanced Other Networks)
When EON data is received, the EON indicator
lights and the TA and AF functions are expanded.
TA: Traffic information from not only the station
now tuned in to but also other stations of the
same network can be received.
AF: The frequency list of the RDS stations preset
by received EON data is updated.
PS (Program Service Name)
When an RDS station is received, the RDS indica­
tor lights and automatically displays the name of
that station instead of the frequency. When DiSP
is pressed during PS display, the frequency is dis­
played for 3 seconds, then PS display returns.
P! (Program Identification)
If a preset RDS station is poor in receiving condi­
tion when it is selected, the automatic seek (PI
Seek) starts to seek the same program and tune
in to it.
PTY (Program TYpe)
Program type identification signal
TA (Traffic Announcement)
When an FM station that periodically provides the latest traffic information is received, the TP indicator
lights. If TA ON is set, FM traffic information automatically interrupts tour listening to a CD, CD changer
source until it ends, then you will listen again to whatever you have been listening to.
REG(Reg)on)
The AF, Best Station Research, PI Seek functions will be as follows:
REG ON : The frequency changes only with the same regional program. This function Is mainly used
while driving in the same area, for example, in a city.
REG OFF: The frequency changes even with a different regional program if the station is in the same net­
work. The broadcast may be different depending on the case. This function is mainly used
when driving far from one region to another.
WHAT PROVIDES EON CAPABILITIES
EON lets the radio set take advantage of RDS information much more then before. It constantly
updates the AF list of all presets, including the station currently tuned in to. So, even if you change pre­
set far from home, you will be able to receive the same station at an alternative frequency, or another
station serving the same program if any. EON also keeps track of locally available TP stations for quick
reception.
Note: When you’re in “AF ON” mode, auto preset memory only works for RDS station. When in “TA
on” mode, it only works for TP stations. To make auto preset for ordinary stations, cancel AF mode and
switch to TA off in advance.
