Using RDS Mode
Your audio system is equipped with Radio Data Systems

When RDS is on, the radio can:
seek only to stations with the types of programs you
want to listen to,
seek to stations with traffic announcements,
receive announcements concerning local and national emergencies,
receive and display messages from radio stations and
search for a stronger station when a station is too
weak for listening.
RDS features are only available for use on FM stations
which broadcast
RDS information.
0 RDS SELECT Press this button to use the
alternate RDS functions (RDS, TA,
MSG, PTY and

has been pressed on. If you are tuned to a station
broadcasting RDS information, the station’s call letters and Program Type (PTY) will replace the station’s
frequency on the display. After five seconds, the

in the network when a
station gets too weak for listening. Press the RDS
SELECT button, followed by this button again to turn
RDS off. All RDS functions will be turned off.

the region function. When an

the same network. A network can span a great distance.
One network can have stations spread across a country
or continent. Each network breaks down into regions.
With regions, local news items like weather and traffic are available to you. When the region function is on, the
radio only searches for stations in the same network and
region.
You can only use the region function when RDS

TP will appear on the
display if the tuned station broadcasts traffic
announcements. You may also receive traffic
announcements from stations in the network related to
the tuned station. If the current tuned station does not
broadcast traffic announcements, the radio will seek
to a
station which does. When the radio finds a station which
broadcasts traffic announcements, it will stop. If no
station is found, NONE
FOUND will appear on the
display. When
SEEK or SCAN is pressed with the
traffic announcement function
on, the radio will only
stop at stations which broadcast traffic announcements.
While a traffic announcement plays, the radio uses a special type of volume called TA volume.
To increase TA
volume, turn the
PWRNOL knob to the right. Turn it to
the left to decrease volume. TA VOLUME will appear on
the display while the volume is being adjusted.
When a traffic announcement comes on the tuned radio
station or a related network station, you will hear it,
even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or
compact disc is playing.
If the radio tunes to a related
network station for a traffic announcement, it will return
to the original station when the announcement is
finished.
If the cassette tape or compact disc player was
being used, the tape or compact disc will stay in the
player and resume play at the point where it stopped.
