Basics of EON
EON (Enhanced Other Network information)
EON is a function that allows you to set the receiver to switch to a frequency automatically when a program
featuring traffic information or news is being broadcast. It cannot be used in areas that EON information is not
transmitted and when FM broadcast stations do not transmit PTY data. When the broadcast ends, the tuner
returns to the original frequency or function.
featuring traffic information or news is being broadcast. It cannot be used in areas that EON information is not
transmitted and when FM broadcast stations do not transmit PTY data. When the broadcast ends, the tuner
returns to the original frequency or function.
There are two types of EON you can set the tuner to:
1. TA (Traffic Announcement)
This mode will set the tuner to pick up traffic information when it is broadcast.
2. NEWS
This mode will set the tuner to pick up news when it is broadcast.
Setting EON allows automated reception of TA/NEWS broadcasts
When EON is turned on, the receiver will automatically jump to those EON-linked broadcasts. Even if a receiver
function other than the tuner is being used, the receiver function will switch to the FM station automatically
when an EON-linked Traffic Information or News program begins. When the program ends, the original function
will be restored. The EON function will not operate, however, when the tuner is on AM.

The receiver’s internal Program Identification function
PI (Programma Identification)
This is an identifying marker the tuner automatically attaches to stations stored in your preset memory classes
(see p.59). The marker distinguishes between stations which transmit RDS data and those that don’t, so that the
receiver knows which stations to look at when searching for RDS or EON transmissions. The code is not
displayed on the receiver and you don’t need to do anything in regards to setting the PI codes.

PI code registration and erasure
The receiver will automatically register a PI code for any station you input into the memory classes (see p.59)
which can receive RDS or EON data. If you want to have a station preset in your memory banks but DON’T want
the receiver to search this station for RDS information you can erase the PI code and then the receiver will
ignore this station when searching for RDS transmissions.
which can receive RDS or EON data. If you want to have a station preset in your memory banks but DON’T want
the receiver to search this station for RDS information you can erase the PI code and then the receiver will
ignore this station when searching for RDS transmissions.
To erase PI codes, follow this procedure:
1. When tuned to the station whose PI code you want to erase press the EON MODE button for two seconds
or more.
“ERASE PI” will be displayed.
“ERASE PI” will be displayed.
2. Press MEMORY button within 5 seconds.
