What you can do with RDS EON
RDS OPERATIONS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their
regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as
information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
Another advantage of RDS function is called “EON (Enhanced Other Networks).” The EON
indicator lights up while receiving an FM station with the EON data. By using the EON data
sent from a station, you can tune into a different station of a different network broadcasting
your favorite program or traffic announcement while listening to another program or to another
source such as CD.
By receiving the RDS signals, this unit can do the following:
• Tracing the same program automatically (Network-tracking Reception)
• Standby Reception of TA (Traffic Announcement) or your favorite program
• PTY (Program Type) search
• TA (Traffic Announcement) search
• And some other functions
Tracing the same program automatically (Network-
Tracking Reception)
When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically
tunes in another RDS station broadcasting the same program with stronger signals. So, you
can continue to listen to the same program in its finest reception, no matter where you drive.
(See the illustration on the next page.)
Two types of the RDS signals are used to make Network-Tracking Reception work correctly
— PI (Program Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency) data.
Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, Network-
Tracking Reception will not operate.
To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and hold TP/RDS (Traffic
Program/Radio Data System) for more than 1 second. Each time you press
and hold the button, Network-Tracking Reception modes change as follows:
Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3
