Using RDS Mode
Your audio system is equipped with Radio Data Systems
(RDS). RDS mode gives you many useful new features.
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.
RDS SELECT: Press this button to use the
alternate RDS functions (RDS, TA, MSG, PTY and

PTY) located on the six numbered pushbuttons.
RDS SELECT: will appear on the display. The alternate
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 on
if one of the other RDS function buttons 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 program type will be
replaced on the display by the station's program type
name. The program type and program type name
may be the same or different. Press BAND to recall
the frequency and program type displays. If the radio
is tuned to a station that is not broadcasting RDS
information, the station's frequency will remain on the
display. While RDS is on, the radio will search for a
stronger station 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.

3-17
REGION: You can also use the RDS button to access
the region function. When an RDS station becomes
weak, this function searches for a stronger station within
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.
REGION: ON will appear on the display. While
REGION: ON appears on the display, press the RDS
button again to turn the region function off. REGION:
OFF will appear on the display. The region function can
be turned on again by pressing the RDS button.
TA (2): Press the RDS SELECT button, followed
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 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 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.
Press the RDS SELECT button, followed by this button
again to turn TA off.

a message, MSG will appear on the display. Press the
RDS SELECT button, followed by this button to see
the message. If the whole message does not appear on
the display, parts of the message will appear every
three seconds until the message is completed. To see
the parts of the message faster than every three seconds,
press this button again. A new group of words will
appear on the display. Once the complete message has
been displayed, MSG will disappear from the display
until another new MSG is received.

the clock to the current displayed station time, press and
hold HR or MN until TIME UPDATED is displayed.

tape or compact disc player is playing, play will stop for
the announcement and resume when the announcement
is finished.

your cassette tape is done playing, auto reverse plays the
other side of your cassette tape. Cassette tapes may be
loaded with the radio off but they will not start playing
until the radio is on. If you want to insert a cassette tape
when the ignition is off, first press the eject button.While the tape is playing, use the VOL, TONE, LEVEL
and DSP controls just as you do for the radio. Other
controls may have different functions when a tape is
inserted. The display will show an underlined tape
symbol. TAPE PLAY will appear on the display when
a tape is playing, with an arrow to indicate which side
of the tape is playing.
If an error occurs while trying to play a cassette tape,
it could be that:

The cassette tape is tight and the cassette player
cannot turn the hubs of the tape. Hold the cassette
tape with the open end down and try turning the
right hub counterclockwise with a pencil. Flip the
tape over and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily,
your cassette tape may be damaged and should not
be used in the player. Try a new tape to be sure your
player is working properly.

The cassette tape is broken. (Check to see if your
tape is broken. Try a new tape.)
