Switching to a broadcast program
of your choice temporarily
Another convenient RDS service is called “EON (Enhanced Other
Network)”.
The EON indicator lights up while receiving a station with the
EON code.
This allows the center unit to switch temporarily to a broadcast
program of your choice (NEWS, TA, and/or INFO) from a
different station except in the following cases:
• When you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM (MW) and
some FM stations).
• When listening to sources other than FM broadcasts.
• When the center unit is in standby mode.
Before you start, remember...
• The EON function is only applicable to preset stations.
From remote control only:
1
Press EON (ENTER) so that the last selected
program type appears on the display window.
The center unit enters EON standby mode. When the center
unit is in EON standby mode, the center unit is ready to
receive the EON data (TA/NEWS/INFO) you select.
2
Press EON SELECT until the program type you
want appears on the display window.
• Each time you press the button, the display changes to
show the following:
=
TA
=
NEWS
=
INFO
=
TA/NEWS
=
TA/INFO
=
NEWS/INFO
=
TA/NEWS/INFO
=
(back to the beginning)
To stop listening to the program selected by EON
Press EON so that the program type (TA/NEWS/INFO) indicator
goes off from the display window. The center unit enters EON off
mode and goes back to the previously selected station.
• Each time you press EON, the EON mode alternates between
standby mode and off mode.
Notes:
• EON data sent from some stations may not be compatible
with the center unit.
• In EON standby mode, if you change the source, EON
standby mode is canceled temporarily.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function,
you cannot use source selected buttons and PTY
SEARCH button.

INFO:
Program the purpose of which is to import advice
on the widest sense.
CASE 1:
When the program you have selected is broadcast
on another station while FM is selected.
«
When a station starts broadcasting the program you
have selected, the center unit automatically
switches to the station. The indicator for the
received program type starts flashing.
«
When the program is over, the center unit returns
to the previously selected station, but still remains
in the EON standby mode. The indicator for the
received program type stops flashing an remains
lit.
CASE 2:
When the selected program is broadcast on the
station you have selected.
«
The center unit continues to receive the station, but
the indicator for the received program type starts
flashing.
«
When the program is over, the indicator for the
received program type stops flashing and remains lit,
but the center unit remains in the EON standby mode.
When an emergency broadcast (ALARM signal) is
sent from an FM station:
Emergency broadcasts are selected automatically only when an
FM station broadcasting the RDS signal is selected.
Emergency broadcasts are not selected while AM (MW) and
non-RDS stations are selected, while other sources are selected,
or while the center unit is in the standby mode.
The TEST signal is used for equipment test —
whether it can receive the ALARM signal correctly.
The TEST signal makes the center unit work in the same way as
the ALARM signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the
center unit automatically switches to the station broadcasting
the TEST signal.
While receiving the test signal, “TEST” appears on the display
window.
