RDS (Radio Data System) Reception
Many FM stations are broadcasting added data compatible with RDS. This radio set offers
convenient functions using such data.
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 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.
TA (Traffic Announcement)
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/CT) is pressed during PS display, the fre-
quency is displayed for 3 seconds, then PS dis-
-— play returns. |
Pl (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
Example : News, rock, classical music, etc.
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 your listening to a MD, CD changer
until it ends, then you will listen again to whatever you have been listening to.
Best Station Research
If a preset RDS station is in poor condition of reception when you try to tune in to it, the best frequency is
selected from the AF list of that station.
REG (Region)
The AF, Best Station Research, Pl 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 than before. It constantly updates
the AF list of all presets, including the station currently tuned in to. So, even if you change preset 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 recep-

to TA off in advance.
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

Notes:
1. Default mode is AF1.
2. AF1 has a low level of AF operating sensitivity in urban areas.
Therefore, AF dose not frequently operate even when sensitivity is
temporarily lowered between skyscrapers, for examples.
3. AF2 is for suburban areas with a higher level of sensitivity than AF1.

EON Capabilities:
EON lets the radio take advantage of much more RDS information than
before. It constantly updates the AF lists for all switch presets far from
home, you will receive an alternative frequency for the same station, or
another station carrying the same program, when such exists. EON also
keeps track of locally available TP station.
