RDS (XR-5890R/5880R only)

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: retuning 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 7).

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.

10

Retuning the same

programme automatically

— Alternative Frequencies (AF)

The Alternative Frequencies (AF) function

automatically selects and retunes the station

with the strongest signal in a network. By

using this function, you can continuously

listen to the same programme during a long-

distance drive without having to retune the

station manually.

1 Select an FM station (page 7).

2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly until “AF-ON”

appears.

The unit starts searching for an alternative

station with a stronger signal in the same

network.

Note

When there is no alternative station in the area

and you do not need to search for an alternative

station, turn the AF function off by pressing

(AF/TA) repeatedly until “AF TA-OFF” appears.

102.5MHz

96.0MHz

98.5MHz

Frequencies change automatically.

Station

Changing the display item

Each time you press (DSPL), the item changes

as follows:

Station Name (Frequency) ˜ Clock

After you select the desired item, the display

will automatically change to the Motion

Display mode after a few seconds.

In the Motion Display mode, all the above

items are scrolled in the display one by one in

order.

Tip

The Motion Display mode can be turned off. (See

“Changing the sound and display settings” on

page 17).

Note

“NO NAME” appears if the received station does

not transmit RDS data (XR-5890R/5880R only).

11

Changing the display item

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

as follows:

” TA-ON ” AF TA-ON*

AF-ON “ AF TA-OFF “

* Select this to turn on both the AF and TA

functions.

Notes

• When “NO AF” and the station name flash

alternately, it means that 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 previously

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 During radio reception, press (SHIFT),

then press (3) (PLAY MODE) repeatedly

until “REG” appears.

2 Press (4) (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.

To return to regional on, select “REG-ON” in

step 2 above.

Note

This function does not work in the United

Kingdom and in some other areas.

Local link function (United

Kingdom only)

The Local Link function lets you select other

local stations in the area, even if 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.

12

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 it. 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 which source you are listening to at

the time.

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 stations, or

the same setting for all preset stations.

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 if 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 it.

• 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).

To cancel all traffic announcements, turn off

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

TA-OFF” appears.

13

Presetting the same setting for all

preset stations

1 Select an FM band (page 7).

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 (3) (PLAY

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

4 Press (4) (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 to preset 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.

Additional

Information

Precautions

•If your car was parked in direct sunlight

resulting in a considerable rise in

temperature inside the car, allow the unit to

cool off before operating it.

•If no power is being supplied to the unit,

check the connections first. If everything is in

order, check the fuse.

•If no sound comes from the speakers of a

two-speaker system, set the fader control to

the centre position.

•When the tape is played back for a long

period, the cassette may become warm

because of the built-in power amplifier.

However, this is not a sign of malfunction.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit that are not covered in

this manual, please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

To maintain high quality sound

If you have drink holders near your audio

equipment, be careful not to splash juice or

other soft drinks onto the car audio. Sugary

residues on this unit or cassette tapes may

contaminate the playback heads, reduce the

sound quality, or prevent sound reproduction

altogether.

Cassette cleaning kits cannot remove sugar

from the tape heads.

Boosting the bass sound

— D-bass

You can enjoy a clear and powerful bass

sound. The D-bass function boosts the low

amplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the

recorded tape could occur.

•Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight,

extremely cold temperatures, or moisture.

•Slack in the tape may cause the tape to be

caught in the machine. Before you insert the

tape, use a pencil or similar object to turn the

reel and take up any slack.

•Distorted cassettes and loose labels can cause

problems when inserting or ejecting tapes.

Remove or replace loose labels.

• The sound may become distorted while

playing the cassette. The cassette player head

should be cleaned after each 50 hours of use.

Cassettes longer than 90 minutes

The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is

not recommended except for long continuous

play. The tape used for these cassettes is very

thin and tends to stretch easily. Frequent

playing and stopping of these tapes may cause

them to become entangled in the cassette deck

mechanism.

Maintenance

Fuse replacement

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one

matching the amperage rating stated on the

original fuse. If the fuse blows, check the

power connection and replace the fuse. If the

fuse blows again after replacement, there may

be an internal malfunction. In such a case,

consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Warning

Never use a fuse with an amperage rating

exceeding the one supplied with the unit as

this could damage the unit.
