RDS (Radio Data System)
This unit has a built-in RDS decoder system that supports broadcast stations transmitting RDS data.
This system can automatically switch to the broadcast station with the best reception as you move
on long distances (AF switching). Also if a traffic announcement (TA) or programme type (PTY) is
broadcast from a RDS station, no matter what mode you are in. this broadcast is received.

AF (ON/OFF)
TA (ON/OFF)
- Alternative frequency (AF)
When the AF switching mode is selected, the radio scans the signal strength of alternative frequencies.
A new AF is stronger than the current station, it switches over to that frequency for very short time,
and the new frequency is displayed for 1-2 second. (When AF flashes on LCD, it will search for the
stronger RDS station.)
Segment off: AF switching mode off.
Segment on: AF switching mode on, and receive RDS information.
Segment flashing: AF switching mode on, but RDS information is not received yet.
- Traffic alarm (TA)
In the TA standby mode, when a traffic announcement broadcast starts, the traffic announcement
FM3.
broadcast is received as top priority regardless of the function mode so you can listen to it.
If you select TA mode off, while a traffic announcement broadcast is being received, the traffic
announcement broadcast reception is cancelled and the unit goes into the TA standby mode.
TA SEEK:
When newly tuned station does not receive TP information for 5 seconds, the radio retunes to next
station which doesn't have the same station (PI) as the last station, but has the TP information.
When TP information gets lost at the current station for retune time which is set by RETUNE S or
RETUNE L, the radio starts to retune to next same PI station. When PI station does not catch in one
cyclic search, the radio retunes to next station with TP information.
Note: In TA SEEK mode, the current station can be changed to the completely different station because
the unit searches TP station when the field (signal) strength of the current station is very weak, or the
current station has no "TP" signal. (The higher priority is TP rather than PI.)
TA ALARM:
When this mode is selected, any automatic retune mode is not activated. Only double beep sound
(ALARM) is output. So, in this mode, the unit keeps the current station anyhow. (The PI priority is
higher than TP.)
When newly tuned station doesn't have TP information for 5 seconds, beeps come out. When TP
information gets lost at the current station for retune time, the beep sound is output.
When newly tuned station doesn't have RDS signal, "PI SEEK" is suppressed somewhat.
- TA VOL (VOLUME)
The default TA volume value is 25. You can set it to another value.
- Region ON / OFF (REG)
When the AF is on, repeatedly press SEL/ VOL button until "REG OFF" appears in the display, rotate
SEL/ VOL knob to switch between "REG ON" and "REG OFF" mode.
REG ON: should be selected to listen to the REGIONAL broadcast of the current station, even if there
is a national broadcast of this station.
REG OFF: should be selected to listen to the national broadcast of this station.
