Using RDS Mode
Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS mode gives you many useful
new features. With RDS, the radio can do the following:

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, and

receive and display messages from radio stations.RDS features are only available on FM stations that
broadcast RDS information. The RDS features on your
radio rely on receiving specific RDS information from
these stations. These features will only work when the
RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio
station may broadcast incorrect information that will
cause the radio features to work improperly. If this
happens, please contact the radio station.
When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station
name will appear on the display, instead of the
frequency. Most RDS stations provide their station
name, the time of day and a Program Type (PTY) for
their current programming.
P
-TYPE: This button is used to turn on and off
Program Type (PTY) select. The PTY icon and the
light next to the button will turn on. The last selected
PTY will appear on the display for five seconds.
Turn the P
-TYPE knob to select the PTY you want
to listen to. Press SEEK SCAN to find radio stations
for that PTY. The last PTY selected will be used to
seek or scan. If a station with the selected PTY is
not found, NONE FOUND will appear on the display.
If both P
-TYPE and TRAF are on, the radio will
search for stations with traffic announcements and the
selected PTY.

3-15
To use the P-TYPE interrupt feature, press and hold the
P
-TYPE button until you hear a beep on the PTY you
want to interrupt on. An asterisk will appear next to the
PTY name (for example CLASSICAL*). When you are
listening to a cassette or compact disc, the last selected
RDS FM station will interrupt play if that selected PTY
format is broadcast.
Setting PTY Preset Stations
The six numbered pushbuttons let you return to your
favorite Program Types (PTYs). These pushbuttons have
factory PTY presets. You can set up to 12 PTYs (six FM1
and six FM2), by performing the following steps:
1. Press P
-TYPE, if it is not already on.
2. Press AM FM to select FM1 or FM2.
3. Turn the SELECT knob to select a PTY.
4. Press and hold one of the six numbered pushbuttons
until you hear a beep. Whenever you press that
numbered pushbutton, the PTY you set will return.

Radio Announcements
(Alert): warns of national or local emergencies.
You will not be able to turn off alert announcements.
ALERT! appears on the display when an alert
announcement plays. When an alert announcement
comes on the tuned radio station, you will hear it,
even if the volume is muted or a cassette tape or
compact disc is playing. If the cassette tape or
compact disc player is playing, play will stop for the
announcement and resume when the announcement
is finished.

TRAF: Press this button to receive traffic
announcements. The traffic announcement brackets will
appear on the display. TRAF will appear on the display
if the tuned station broadcasts traffic announcements.
If the current tuned station does not broadcast traffic
announcements, the radio will seek to a station that
does. When the radio finds a station that broadcasts
traffic announcements, it will stop. If no station is
found, NO TRAFFIC will appear on the display.
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 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.
INFO: If the current station has a message,
INFO will appear on the display. Press 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, INFO will disappear from the display
until another new message is received.Playing a Cassette Tape
Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are
up to 30 to 45 minutes long on each side. Tapes longer
than that are so thin they may not work well in this
player. The longer side with the tape visible should face
to the right. If the ignition is on, but the radio is off,
the tape can be inserted and will begin playing. If you
hear nothing but a garbled sound, the tape may not be
in squarely. Press the eject (upward pointing arrow)
button to remove the tape and start over.
While the tape is playing, use the VOLUME POWER,
AUDIO selector and knob, AUTO EQ, and the SEEK
SCAN controls just as you do for the radio. The display
will show TAPE and an arrow showing which side of
the tape is playing. The tape player automatically
begins playing the other side when it reaches the end
of the tape.
Your tape bias is set automatically when a metal or
chrome tape is inserted. If you want to insert a tape
when the ignition is off, first press the button with the
eject symbol on it or the TUNE RCL P
-TYPE knob.
If an error appears on the radio display, the tape won't
play because of an error. See ªCassette Tape Messagesº
