RDS

Overview of the RDS

function

Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting

service that allows FM stations to send

additional digital information along with the

regular radio programme signal. Your car

stereo offers you a variety of services. Here are

just a few: re-tuning the same programme

automatically, listening to traffic

announcements and locating a station by

programme type.

Notes

• Depending on the country or region, not all of

the RDS functions are available.

• RDS may not work properly if the signal strength

is weak or if the station you are tuned to is not

transmitting RDS data.

Displaying the station

name

The name of the current station lights up in the

display.

Select an FM station (page 10).

When you tune in an FM station that

transmits RDS data, the station name

appears in the display.

Note

The “*” indication means that an RDS station is

being received.

Changing the displayed item

Each time you press (DSPL), the item changes

as follows:

local stations in the area, even though they are

not stored on your number buttons.

1 Press a number button that has a local

station stored on it.

2 Within five seconds, press the number

button of the local station again.

3 Repeat this procedure until the desired

local station is received.

Changing the displayed item

Each time you press (AF/TA), the item changes

as follows:

” AF on ” TA on ” AF TA on*

AF TA off “

* Select this to turn on both the AF and TA

functions.

Notes

• “NO AF” and the station name flash alternately,

if the unit cannot find an alternative station in

the network.

• If the station name starts flashing after selecting

a station with the AF function on, this indicates

that no alternative frequency is available. Push

the SEEK/AMS control up or down while the

station name is flashing (within eight seconds).

The unit starts searching for another frequency

with the same PI (Programme Identification) data

(“PI seek” appears and no sound is heard). If the

unit cannot find another frequency, “NO PI”

appears, and the unit returns to the originally

selected frequency.

Listening to a regional programme

The “REG on” (regional on) function lets you

stay tuned to a regional programme without

being switched to another regional station.

(Note that you must turn the AF function on.)

The unit is factory preset to “REG on,” but if

you want to turn off the function, do the

following.

1 Press (SHIFT), then press (4) (PLAY

MODE) repeatedly until “REG” appears.

2 Press (5) (n) repeatedly until “REG off”

appears.

3 Press (SHIFT).

Note that selecting “REG off” might cause

the unit to switch to another regional

station within the same network.

Presetting the volume of traffic

announcements

You can preset the volume level of the traffic

announcements beforehand so you won’t miss

the announcement. When a traffic

announcement starts, the volume will be

automatically adjusted to the preset level.

1 Select the desired volume level.

2 Press (AF/TA) for two seconds.

”TA“ appears and the setting is stored.

Receiving emergency

announcements

If an emergency announcement comes in while

you are listening to the radio, the programme

will automatically switch to the

announcement. If you are listening to a source

other than the radio, the emergency

announcements will be heard if you set AF or

TA to on. The unit will then automatically

switch to these announcements no matter what

you are listening to at the time.

Listening to traffic

announcements

The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic

Programme (TP) data let you automatically

tune in an FM station that is broadcasting

traffic announcements even though you are

listening to other programme sources.

Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “TA on” or

“AF TA on” appears.

The unit starts searching for traffic

information stations. “TP” appears in the

display when the unit finds a station

broadcasting traffic announcements.

When the traffic announcement starts,

“TA” flashes. The flashing stops when the

traffic announcement is over.

Tip

If the traffic announcement starts while you are

listening to another programme source, the unit

automatically switches to the announcement and

goes back to the original source when the

announcement is over.

Notes

• “NO TP” flashes for five seconds if the received

station does not broadcast traffic

announcements. Then, the unit starts searching

for a station that broadcasts traffic

announcements.

• When “EON” appears with “TP” in the display,

the current station makes use of broadcast traffic

announcements by other stations in the same

network.

To cancel the current traffic

announcement

Press (AF/TA) or (SOURCE) momentarily.

To cancel all traffic announcements, turn off

the function by pressing (AF/TA) until “AF

TA off” appears.

EN

Recording the traffic

announcements

—Traffic Information Replay (TIR)

You can listen to the latest traffic

announcements by recording them. The unit

automatically records and stores up to eight

traffic announcements. If the recording

exceeds four minutes, the recorded

announcements are updated, so you can

always hear the latest information.

The TIR function turns on the unit

automatically and records the traffic

announcements for up to two hours before and

after a preset time.

Presetting the time and the station

1 Press and hold (TIR) until “TIR” lights up

in the display.

2 Press (5) (n) repeatedly until “TIR on”

appears.

3 Press (TIR) repeatedly until the time

indication appears.

1 Set the hour by rotating the dial.

2 Press (5) (n) until the minute digits

flash.

3 Set the minute by rotating the dial.

4 Press (TIR).

Presetting the RDS

stations with the AF and

TA data

When you preset RDS stations, the unit stores

each station’s data as well as its frequency, so

you don’t have to turn on the AF or TA

function every time you tune in the preset

station. You can select a different setting (AF,

TA, or both) for individual preset station, or

the same setting for all preset stations.

Presetting the same setting for all

preset stations

1 Select an FM band (page 10).

2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly to select either

“AF on,” “TA on” or “AF TA on” (for both

AF and TA functions).

Note that selecting “AF TA off” stores not

only RDS stations, but also non-RDS

stations.

3 Press (SHIFT), then press (4) (PLAY

MODE) repeatedly until “B.T.M” appears.

4 Press (5) (n) until “B.T.M” flashes.

5 Press (SHIFT).

Presetting different settings for

each preset station

1 Select an FM band, and tune in the

desired station.

2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly to select either

“AF on,” “TA on” or “AF TA on” (for both

AF and TA functions).

3 Press the desired number button and

hold until “MEM” appears.

Repeat from step 1 for presetting other

stations.

Tip

If you want to change the preset AF and/or TA

setting after you tune in the preset station, you

can do so by turning the AF or TA function on or

off.

Playing back the recorded traffic

announcements

When there are recorded traffic

announcements you have not listened to yet,

announcements were recorded.

2 Press (TIR) to go back to the original

programme.

5 Select the desired station by pressing the

preset number button or pushing the

SEEK/AMS control up or down.

6 Press (TIR) for two seconds to return to

the original display.

t lights up.

The unit turns on automatically and stands

by for traffic announcements for four hours

(two hours before and after the preset

time).

If the preset station does not broadcast the

traffic announcement while searching, the

unit starts searching for other traffic

programme (TP) stations.

To cancel the TIR function

Select “TIR off” in step 2 above.

Tips

• While the unit is recording the traffic

announcement, t and “TA” flash.

• If the unit still cannot find a TP station, it starts a

new search every five minutes until it finds one.

• If you pull out the ignition key while the TIR

function is on, "TIR on" and t flash a few times.

Notes

• The unit also stands by for traffic

announcements for two hours after you turn off

the engine, as long as the TIR function is on.

• If you have a power aerial, it automatically

extends every time the unit searches for a traffic

programme station.

If you have a manual aerial, make sure that the

aerial is fully extended.

• If you do not use your car for about ten days, the

TIR function will turn off automatically to avoid

battery wear, even if the TIR function is on.
