RDS (Radio Data System)
Traffic Information Function
You can listen to traffic information. If you are listening to
tapes or discs, they will continue playing until a traffic bulletin
is broadcast.
RDS is a digital information system that lets you receive
signals besides those of regular radio programmes, such as
network information being transmitted from radio stations.
When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station with RDS
capability), the programme service name of the station is
displayed along with the frequency, advising you quickly which
station is being received.
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also transmit frequency data
for the same station. When you are making long trips, this
function automatically switches to the particular frequency
with the best reception for the particular network of stations
that you want to listen to. The data is automatically stored,
allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS stations,
broadcasting the same programme, that has better reception.
These include stations stored in the station preset memory that
you often listen to.
Turning TI function On/Off:
Press the TI button to turn the function on and off.
When the function is on, the TI indicator is turned on.
When none is being received, the TI indicator will blink on and
off. When a traffic information station is being received, the TI
indicator will turn on.
When a traffic bulletin begins to be broadcast, "TRAFFIC" will
be displayed, and reception will begin at the preset volume.
If you are listening to a tape or disc when a traffic bulletin
begins, they will automatically be turned off. When the bulletin
ends or poor reception is experienced, the tape or disc will

NOTE
Pressing the TI button whilst in the MW/LW band automatically

Enhanced Other Network
Stations that offer <Enhanced Other Network> also transmit
information about other RDS stations that have traffic
information. When you are tuned to a station that is not
transmitting traffic information, but another RDS station starts
transmitting a traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically switches
to the other station for the duration of the bulletin.
Switching to a Different Traffic Information Station:
Use the 4 / ¢ buttons to make an auto seek of the TI
stations in a certain band.
NOTE
• When you are listening to a tape or disc, you cannot change to
another TI station.
• When the auto TP seek function is turned on and reception
starts to weaken, the tuner automatically seeks traffic
information stations with better reception.
• If you are tuned to a station that is not a traffic information
station itself but which provides <Enhanced Other Network>
services, you can still have traffic information received.
• Holding the TI button down for one second or more when the
TI function is on in the disc control mode results in a change to
the frequency display of the traffic information station for five
seconds.
Alarm
When an emergency transmission (announcing disasters, etc.)
is sent, all current functions are interrupted to allow the
warning to be received.
