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

want to listen to,

seek to stations with traffic announcements,

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.

alternate RDS functions (RDS, TA, MSG, PTY and

RDS functions are only available when you are using
the FM band of your radio.RDS (1): With RDS off, press the RDS SELECT
button, followed by this button to turn RDS on. The
RDS display will turn on. You must have RDS on to use
the new RDS functions. The RDS display will also turn

RDS information, the station's call letters and Program
Type (PTY) will replace the station's frequency on the
display. After five seconds, the program type will be

name. The program type and program type name may

frequency and program type displays. If the radio is

weak for listening. Press the RDS SELECT button,
followed by this button again to turn RDS off.

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 is already on. Press the RDS SELECT button.
Then press and hold the RDS button for two seconds.

by this button to receive traffic announcements.
The radio will turn on the TA display. 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 astation 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 and the TA icon will turn off. 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 PWR/VOL knob clockwise.
Turn it counterclockwise 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.

button again to turn TA off.

of the message faster than every three seconds, press this
button again. A new group of words will appear on the
