RDS Basics
AF(Alternative Frequency):  When the radio
signal  strength  is  poor,  enabling  the  AF
function will allow the unit to automatically 
search another station with the same PI 
(program identification) as the current station
but with stronger signal strength. 
PS  (Program  Service  name):  The  name  of
station will be display instead of frequency.
AF Mode:  
  AF on: AF function is activated. 
  AF off: AF function is disabled. 
Remark: AF indicator on LCD will flash until 
RDS information is received. If RDS service 
is not available in your area, turn off the AF
mode. 
REG Mode: Press AF on the remote control 
for more than 2 seconds to switch REG mode 
on and off. 
REG on: AF function will implement the 
regional code (of the PI) and only stations in
the current region can be tuned automatically. 
REG off: AF function will ignore the regional 
code  (of  the  PI)  and  stations  in  the  other
regions can also be tuned automatically.
Traffic Announcements
Some RDS FM stations periodically provide 
traffic information.
TP (Traffic Program Identification)
Broadcasting of traffic information
TA (Traffic Announcements Identification)
Radio announcements on traffic conditions
TA Mode: Hold TA/AF button on the panel or 
press TA button on the remote control to turn 
on/off TA mode. When TA mode is turned on,
the TA indicator will blink. 
When traffic announcement is received, the TA
indicator will display. The unit will temporarily 
switch to the tuner mode (regardless of the 
current  mode)  and  begin  broadcasting  the
announcement at TA volume level. After the 
traffic announcement is over, it will return to
the previous mode and volume level. When 
TA is turned on, SEEK, SCAN, AMS function
can only be received or saved when traffic 
program identification (TP) code is received.

EON (Enhanced Other Networks)
When  EON  data  is  received,  the  EON
indicator lights and the TA and AF functions 
are enhanced.
TA: Traffic information can be received from 
the current station or stations in other network.
AF: The frequency list of preset RDS stations 
is updated by EON data. EON enables the 
radio to make fuller use of RDS information.  
It constantly updates the AF list of preset 
stations, including the one that currently tuned
into. If you preset a station around the area at 
your home, you will later be able to receive the
same station at an alternative frequency, or
any other station serving the same program,
EON also keeps track of locally available TP 
stations for quick reception.

identification signal.

MUSIC  type,  the  previous  type  is  shown.
Press PTY again to enter SPEECH type. At 
MUSIC type or SPEECH type, use buttons 1
- 6 to select the desired program type. The 
selected PTY type is shown and searching 
starts if no other function is selected for 2 
seconds. If there is no corresponding program 
type, NO PTY is shown and the unit will return
to normal mode.
