RDS uses PI (program identification) sig-
nal and AF(alternative frequency) list
transmitted in addition to the normal UKW
broadcasting programs, and pick up the
UKW stations that are transmitting the
same program from the EON (enhanced
other network) and automatically tunes
to the station with the strongest signal
intensity.
Therefore, you can continue listening to
one program in, for example, a long dis-
tance driving without returning to other
station transmitting the same program
when you are leaving the service area of
the currently receiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited
reception of the program types, the break-
in reception of the traffic announcement
and emergency broadcast, and the lim-
ited/unlimited reception of the regional
programs.PTY (Program type)
RDS broadcasts are classified according
to program type (PTY) as follows. Use the
TUNE/SEEK button (4 or 5) to select your
desired PTY.

NOTE
If “1” or “11” is selected, the program
search is made widely under the category
of speech or music.Automatic retuning function
The automatic retuning function finds sta-
tions that are broadcasting the same pro-
gram and automatically tunes to the sta-
tion with the strongest signal.

seconds, and the AF indicator (11) will illu-
minate in display (7). Press the UML but-
