automatically cache the interrupted  
portion and perform time-shift  
playback when the interruption ends.

INFORMATION
●The system can store up to 20 minutes.  
Cached data will be erased when the  
radio mode or station is changed or  
when the audio system is turned off. 
● If noise or silence occurs during the  
caching process, cache writing will con-
tinue, with the noise or silence recorded  
as is. In this case, the cached broadcast  
will contain the noise or silence when  
played back.
This audio system is equipped with Ra-
dio Broadcast Data Systems (RBDS).  
RBDS mode allows text messages to  
be received from radio stations that uti-
lize RBDS transmitters.
When RBDS is on, the radio can  
— only select stations of a particular  
program type, 
— display messages from radio sta-
tions, 
— search for a stronger signal station.
RBDS features are available only  
when listening to an FM station that  
broadcasts RBDS information and the  
“FM Info”  indicator is on.
