RDS (Radio Data System)  
Traffic Information Function  
You can listen to traffic information. If you are listening to  
tapes or discs, they will continue playing until a traffic bulletin  
is broadcast.  
RDS is a digital information system that lets you receive  
signals besides those of regular radio programmes, such as  
network information being transmitted from radio stations.  
When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station with RDS  
capability), the programme service name of the station is  
displayed along with the frequency, advising you quickly which  
station is being received.  
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also transmit frequency data  
for the same station. When you are making long trips, this  
function automatically switches to the particular frequency  
with the best reception for the particular network of stations  
that you want to listen to. The data is automatically stored,  
allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS stations,  
broadcasting the same programme, that has better reception.  
These include stations stored in the station preset memory that  
you often listen to.  
Turning TI function On/Off:  
Press the TI button to turn the function on and off.  
When the function is on, the TI indicator is turned on.  
When none is being received, the TI indicator will blink on and  
off. When a traffic information station is being received, the TI  
indicator will turn on.  
When a traffic bulletin begins to be broadcast, "TRAFFIC" will  
be displayed, and reception will begin at the preset volume.  
If you are listening to a tape or disc when a traffic bulletin  
begins, they will automatically be turned off. When the bulletin  
ends or poor reception is experienced, the tape or disc will  
begin playing again.  
NOTE  
Pressing the TI button whilst in the MW/LW band automatically  
switches reception to the FM band. However, the MW/LW band  
is not returned to when the TI button is pressed again.  
Enhanced Other Network  
Stations that offer <Enhanced Other Network> also transmit  
information about other RDS stations that have traffic  
information. When you are tuned to a station that is not  
transmitting traffic information, but another RDS station starts  
transmitting a traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically switches  
to the other station for the duration of the bulletin.  
Switching to a Different Traffic Information Station:  
Use the 4 / ¢ buttons to make an auto seek of the TI  
stations in a certain band.  
NOTE  
• When you are listening to a tape or disc, you cannot change to  
another TI station.  
• When the auto TP seek function is turned on and reception  
starts to weaken, the tuner automatically seeks traffic  
information stations with better reception.  
• If you are tuned to a station that is not a traffic information  
station itself but which provides <Enhanced Other Network>  
services, you can still have traffic information received.  
• Holding the TI button down for one second or more when the  
TI function is on in the disc control mode results in a change to  
the frequency display of the traffic information station for five  
seconds.  
Alarm  
When an emergency transmission (announcing disasters, etc.)  
is sent, all current functions are interrupted to allow the  
warning to be received.
