RDS uses PI (program identification) signal and AF (alterna-
tive frequency) list transmitted in addition to the normal FM
broadcasting programs, and picks up the FM stations that are
transmitting the same program from the EON (enhanced other
network) and automatically tunes to the station with the strong-
est signal intensity.
Therefore, you can continue listening to one program in, for
example, a long distance driving without retuning to the other
station transmitting the same program when you are leaving
the service area of the currently receiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited reception of the pro-
gram types, the break-in reception of the traffic announcement
and emergency broadcast, and the limited/unlimited reception
of the regional programs.AF (Alternative Frequencies) function
E00720900016
The AF function finds a station broadcasting the same program
and selects the station with the strongest signal of AF lists.
The AF function is turned on (with the AF indicator (9) shown
on the display) at all times unless you manually switch it off.
The AF function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 5-35.CT (Clock Time) function
E00721000014
The clock can be set automatically by using the signal from the
local RDS stations. Refer to “Digital clock” on page 3-17.
REG (Regional) function
E00721100015
REG function limits to receive the stations broadcasting
regional programs.
Regional programming and regional networks are organized
differently depending on the country or area (they may be
changed according to the hour, state, or broadcast area), so if
you don’t want to receive the regional programs automatically,
you can set up REG ON not to receive regional programs.
The REG function can be turned ON and OFF.
Refer to “Function setup mode” on page 5-35.PI (Program Identification) search function
E00721200016
When travelling long distance and the recalled preset station is
weak, the radio searches another frequency broadcasting the
same programming with the same PI code in AF list.
If there are no frequencies broadcasting the same program-
ming, the radio searches a frequency broadcasting the regional
programming. The radio succeeds in searching the regional
programming, then the display shows the REG indicator (11).
If the radio does not succeed in searching the regional pro-
gramming, the radio returns to the recalled preset station.PTY (Program type)
E00721300192
RDS broadcasts are classified according to program type
(PTY) as follows. Use the TUNE/SEEK button (5 or 6) to
select your desired PTY.

The radio will automatically tune in to traffic information
broadcasts while receiving FM broadcasts or playing compact
discs.
To select this function, follow the instructions below.
1. Press the TP button (7). The display will show “TP” (12).
If the RDS data can be read, the display will show “RDS”
(10). If not, the display will show “NO RDS” for about
5 seconds.
2. If the radio detects traffic information on either the station
currently selected or another station, the display will show
“TRAF INF” for 5 seconds followed by a 2-second indi-
cation of the frequency. Then, it will show the name of the
station broadcasting the traffic information to which you
will listen. The volume level is set separately for listening
to normal audio programs and for listening to traffic infor-
mation. The volume level will therefore change automati-
cally to that set when traffic information was last received.
When the traffic information broadcast is over, the radio
will return to the previously received program and to the
corresponding volume level.
3. Press the TP button (7) to return to the previous condition.NOTE●While “TP” is illuminated, the radio stops only at TP sta-
tions even if the TUNE/SEEK button (5 or 6) is pressed.

The traffic information program standby function is turned on
(with the TP indicator (12) shown on the display) and after
about 45 seconds since the RDS indicator (10) turns off due to
weak signal or the tuning station is changed over from a TP
station to a station which does not broadcast traffic informa-
tion, the sound will beep 5 times and seeks out a TP station in
all frequencies automatically.
The TP search function can be turned ON and OFF.
