Using the RDS Functions  
What is RDS?  
RDS (Radio Data System) is a system for transmitting data along with FM programs. This  
data, which is inaudible, provides a variety of features such as: program service name, pro-  
gram type display, traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning and program type tun-  
ing, intended to aid radio listeners in tuning to a desired station.  
Note:  
RDS service may not be provided by all stations.  
RDS functions, like AF (Alternative Frequencies search) and TA (Traffic Announcement standby),  
are only active when your radio is tuned to RDS stations.  
Alternative Frequency function  
The AF (Alternative Frequencies search) function is used to search for other frequencies in  
the same network as the currently tuned station. It automatically retunes the receiver to  
another frequency in the network which is broadcasting a stronger signal when there are  
problems with reception of the currently tuned station or better reception is possible on  
a different frequency.  
Note:  
AF tunes the receiver only to RDS stations when you use Seek tuning or BSM Auto Memory with  
the “AF” indicator ON.  
When you recall a preset station, the tuner may update the preset station with a new frequency from  
the station’s AF list. (This is only available when using presets on the FM-1 and FM-2 bands.) No  
preset number appears on the display if the RDS data for the station received differs from that for  
the originally stored station.  
Sound may be temporarily interrupted by another program during an AF frequency search.  
When the tuner is tuned to a non-RDS station, the “AF” indicator flashes.  
AF can be switched ON or OFF independently for each FM band.  
Activating/Deactivating the AF function  
AF is set to ON by default.  
• Press the FUNCTION button 3  
on Tuner Setting Screen switches  
the AF ON/OFF while in an FM  
band .  
29  
PI Seek function  
The tuner searches for another frequency broadcasting the same programming. “PI Seek”  
appears on the display and the radio volume is muted during a PI Seek. The muting is dis-  
continued after completion of the PI Seek, whether or not the PI seek has succeeded. If the  
PI Seek is unsuccessful, the tuner returns to the previous frequency.  
PI Seek  
If the tuner fails to locate a suitable alternative frequency or if the broadcasting signal is  
too weak for proper reception, the PI Seek will automatically start.  
Auto PI Seek (for preset station)  
When preset stations cannot be recalled, as when traveling long distances, the product can  
be set to perform PI Seek also during preset recall.  
The default setting for Auto PI Seek is OFF.  
Note:  
Refer to “Setting Up the Environment for Use” for details on how to switch Auto PI Seek ON/OFF.  
30  
Using the RDS Functions  
PTY function  
A PTY search is performed by program type as indicated in the PTY list (the program  
types are: News&Inf, Popular, Classics, Others). It also provides automatic tuning to emer-  
gency broadcasts (PTY alarm).  
Note:  
There’s no need to perform PTY Search settings again if they have previously been set. After  
switching to the PTY Search Setting mode in Step 1, just perform PTY Search in Step 3.  
Searching the PTY  
1. Press the FUNCTION button 4  
on Tuner Setting Screen switches  
the PTY Search Setting display.  
2. Select one from among PTY with  
the 2/3 buttons.  
3. Press the 5 button starts the  
PTY search.  
The tuner searches for a station broadcasting the desired PTY.  
• To cancel the PTY Search, press the button.  
Note:

Traffic Announcement Standby function  
The TA (Traffic Announcement standby) function lets you receive traffic announcements  
automatically, no matter what source you are listening to. The TA function can be activat-  
ed for either a TP station (a station that broadcasts traffic information) or an enhanced  
other network’s TP station (a station carrying information which cross-references TP sta-  
tions).  
Activating/Deactivating the TA function  
1. Tune in a TP or enhanced other network’s TP station.  
The TP indicator “TRAFFIC” lights when the tuner is tuned to a TP station or an enhanced  
other network’s TP station.  
2. Activate the TA function.  
The “3TRAFFIC” indicator lights, indicating that the tuner is waiting for traffic  
announcements.  
Note:  
If you switched TA function ON when you are tuned in to neither a TP nor enhanced other net-  
work’s TP station, only “T” in “TRAFFIC” indicator is displayed.  
Repeat the preceding operation when no traffic announcement is being received to deacti-  
vate the TA function.  
Note:  
The system switches back to the original source following traffic announcement reception.  
The TA function can be activated from sources other than tuner if the tuner was last set to the FM  
band but not if it was last set to the MW/LW band.  
If the tuner was last set to FM, turning on the TA function lets you operate other tuning functions  
while listening to sources other than tuner.  
Only TP or enhanced other network’s TP stations are tuned in during the Seek Tuning mode when  
the “3TRAFFIC” or “T” indicator is ON.  
Only TP or enhanced other network’s TP stations are stored by BSM when the “3TRAFFIC” or  
“T” indicator is ON.

Connecting the Units  
Note:  
This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and  
negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre-  
ational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery  
voltage.  
When an external power amp is being used with  
this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white  
lead to the amp’s power terminal. Likewise, do  
not connect the blue/white lead to the power ter-  
minal of the auto-antenna. Such connection could  
cause excessive current drain and malfunction.  
To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected  
lead with insulating tape. There is a possibility of  
short-circuiting if the leads are not insulated.  
To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of  
the IP-BUS connector and Optical connector is  
blue, and the output side is black. Connect the  
connectors of the same colors correctly.  
Connection of this system requires optical cables  
and IP-BUS cables. Consult your nearest dealer  
for more detail.  
Set GPS antenna away from this unit. If you set  
them too close, it may fail to operate properly.  
This unit can not be installed in a vehicle that  
does not have an ACC (accessory) position on  
the ignition switch. (Fig. 1)  
To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to  
disconnect the battery cable before beginning  
installation.  
Refer to the owner’s manual for details on con-  
necting the power amp and other units, then make  
connections correctly.  
Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive  
tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape  
around them where they lie against metal parts.  
Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any  
moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake,  
and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that  
get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insu-  
lation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a  
danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle  
body.  
Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into the  
engine compartment to connect to the battery.  
This will damage the lead insulation and cause a  
very dangerous short.  
Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection  
circuit may fail to work when it should.  
Never feed power to other equipment by cutting  
the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit  
and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of  
the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.  
When replacing a fuse, be sure to use only fuses  
of the rating prescribed on the fuse holder.  
The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead  
separately from the ground of high-current prod-  
ucts such as power amps.  
ACC position  
No ACC position

Cords for this product and those for other prod-  
ucts may be different colors even if they have the  
same function. When connecting this product to  
another product, refer to the supplied manuals of  
both products and connect cords that have the  
same function.  
If you ground the products together and the  
ground becomes detached, there is a risk of dam-  
age to the products or fire.  
When this product’s source is switched ON, a  
control signal is output through the blue/white  
lead. Connect to an external power amp’s system  
remote control or the car’s Auto-antenna relay  
control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the  
car features a glass antenna, connect to the anten-  
na booster power supply terminal.
