 If the radio broadcast is interrupted by  
another  audio  output,  such  as  an  
incoming  phone  call,  the  system  will 
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.
