If there is an emergency announcement by governmental
authorities, ALARM flashes in the display.
When the message consists of 9 characters or more, the
message scrolls across the display.
The following messages appear if a station is not
providing a particular RDS service:
“NO PTY” (the selected programme type is not available)
“NO TEXT” (text data is not available)
“NO TIME” (clock time data is not available)
Monitoring traffic, news, or information
programmes (EON)
Enhanced Other Networks (EON) allows the tuner to
automatically switch to a station broadcasting traffic,
news, or other information. After the programme ends,
the tuner switches back to the station you were
listening to (or the function you were using).
1 Tune to an FM station.
2 Press EON to select the programme you want to
monitor.
Each time you press EON, the indicators light as
follows:
TA (Traffic Announcement)
.
NEWS
.
INFO (information)
.
OFF
The receiver enters EON standby mode.
“NO TA”, “NO NEWS”, or “NO INFO”, appears if you
press EON before tuning to an RDS station.
When a station starts broadcasting the programme you
selected, the receiver switches to the station, a message
(e.g., “NOW TA”) appears and the respective indicator
(e.g.,“TA”) flashes. After the programme ends, the
receiver switches back to the station you were listening
to (or the function you were using).
To stop monitoring the programme
Press EON once.
Turn off the EON feature when you want to record a
programme without interruptions, especially when you
want to do timer recording.
Notes
To use this function, be sure to store the RDS stations
beforehand.
When the selected station has a weak signal, “WEAK SIG”
appears and then, the receiver returns to the previous
station or programme source.
Locating a station by programme type
(PTY)
You can locate a station you want by selecting a
programme type. The receiver tunes in the type of
programmes currently being broadcast from the RDS
stations stored in the receiver's preset memory.
1 Press PTY repeatedly until the programme type
you want appears in the display.
See the following table for the programme types
you can select.
2 Press PRESET TUNING + or – while the
programme type appears in the display.
The tuner starts searching the preset RDS stations
for the programme (“Search” and the programme
type are displayed alternately).
When the receiver finds the programme you are
looking for, it stops searching. The preset number
of the preset station currently broadcasting the
selected programme type flashes, and the receiver
receives the station.
Note
“NO PTY” appears when the programme type that you've
selected is not being broadcast and the receiver returns to
the original station.
