RDS OPERATIONS ENGLISH What you can do with RDS EON RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of programme 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.
ENGLISH Mode 1 The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not. Network-Tracking is activated with Regionalization set to “off.” Switches to another station within the same network when the receiving signals from the current station become weak. Note: In this mode, the programme may differ from the one currently received. Mode 2 Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up. Network-Tracking is activated with Regionalization set to “on.
Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favorite programme (PTY: Programme Type) and Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM station, tape, CD and other connected components). Note: Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station.
ENGLISH Selecting Your Favorite Programme for PTY Standby Reception You can select your favorite programme for PTY Standby Reception to store in memory.

Automatic selection of the station when using the number buttons ENGLISH Other convenient RDS functions and adjustments Usually when you press the number button, the preset station is tuned in. However, when the preset station is an RDS station, something different will happen. If the signals from that preset station are not sufficient for good reception, this unit, using the AF data, tunes in another frequency broadcasting the same programme as the original preset station is broadcasting.
