RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.

With the unit, you can receive the following types of RDS signals.

PS (Program Service):

Shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Program Type):

Shows types of broadcast programs.

RT (Radio Text):

Shows text messages the station sends.

EON (Enhanced Other Networks):

Provides the information about the types of the programs sent by other RDS stations.

More about RDS

???Some FM stations and AM (MW/LW) stations do not provide RDS signals.

???RDS services vary among FM RDS stations. For details on RDS services in your area, check with local radio stations.

???RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is weak.

Searching for Programs by PTY Codes (PTY Search)

One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes.

??? For details on the PTY codes, see ???Additional Information??? on page 28.

To search for a program using the PTY codes

REMEMBER you must preset FM RDS stations to use the EON function. If not yet done, see page 13.

??? There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.

code you want appears on the display.

Changing the RDS Information

You can see RDS information on the display while listening to an FM station.

Press DISPLAY MODE.

DISPLAY

If no PS, PTY, or RT signals are sent by a station

???NO PS,??? ???NO PTY,??? or ???NO RT??? appears in the main display.

If the unit takes time to show the RDS information received from a station

???WAIT PS???, ???WAIT PTY???, or ???WAIT RT??? may appear on the display.

??? Each time you press the button, the PTY codes change as follows:

While searching, ???SEARCH??? and the selected PTY code alternate on the display.

The unit searches 30 preset FM stations, stops when it finds the one you have selected (???FOUND??? appears), and tunes in that station.

??? If no program is found, ???NOT??? and ???FOUND??? alternately appears on the display and the unit returns to the last received station.

To stop searching any time during the process

Press PTY/EON while searching.

English

Switching to a Program Type of Your Choice Temporarily

By receiving EON data sent by FM RDS stations, the EON function allows the unit to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of your choice (TA, NEWS, and INFO) from a different station.

The EON function only works when you are listening to a preset FM RDS stations providing EON data.

??? The EON indicator lights while receiving a station with EON data.

To activate the EON function

REMEMBER you must preset FM RDS stations to use the EON function. If not yet done, see page 13.

data type you want appears on the display.

The selected EON data type indicator also flashes.

How the EON function actually works:

CASE 1

If there is no station broadcasting the program you have selected

The unit continues tuning in the current station.

??

When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected, the unit automatically switches to the station. The indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.

??

When the program is over, ???EON END??? appears in the main display, and the unit goes back to the previously tuned station, but the EON function still remains activated.

CASE 2

If there is a station broadcasting the program you have selected

The unit tunes in the program. The indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.

??

When the program is over, ???EON END??? appears in the main display, and the unit goes back to the previously tuned station, but the EON function still remains activated.

CASE 3

If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the program you have selected

The unit continues to receive the station but the indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.

??

When the program is over, the indicator of received PTY code stops flashing and remains lit, but the EON function still remains activated.

TA

EON

??? Each time you press the button, the EON data types change as follows:

TANEWSINFO

OFF (Canceled)

TA: Traffic announcement

NEWS: News

INFO: Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in the widest sense.

OFF: The EON function is canceled. The EON data type indicator (TA, NEWS, INFO) goes off.

The EON data type indicator stops flashing and remains lit.

Now, the EON function is activated. See ???How the EON function actually works???.

???EON data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this unit. In this case, the EON function may not work correctly.

???While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same EON data.

???The EON function is canceled when you change the source to CD, TAPE, or AUX, while it is temporarily canceled when you change the source to AM.

Dolby Surround has been developed to reproduce the important elements of the acoustic surround at home.

To listen to the sound of video software bearing the mark

DOLBY SURROUND * which includes the same encoded surround information as found in Dolby Stereo films, the unit can provide you with Dolby Surround decoder.

This unit features two ways to decode a Dolby Surround encoded signal, Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo.

Dolby Pro Logic can be used when the front speakers and rear speakers are connected to this unit (regardless of the center speaker connection).

Dolby 3 Stereo can be used when left, center, and right speakers are connected, but no rear speaker is used.

You can use Dolby Pro Logic (or Dolby 3 Stereo if you want) with this speaker configuration.

You can use Dolby Pro Logic in Center Phantom mode with this speaker configuration.

You can use Dolby 3 Stereo with this speaker configuration.

Preparing for Dolby Surround

Once you have finished adjustments for Dolby Surround, you can use the same adjustments every time you want to use each Dolby Surround mode ??? Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby 3 Stereo.

On the remote control ONLY:

The PRO LOGIC or 3 STEREO indicator lights up on the display.

??? Each time you press the button, the indicator turns on and off. (Respective Dolby Surround also turns on and off.)

PHANTOM: Select this mode when you do not use a center speaker. The center speaker channel signals are output through the front speakers.

**???PHANTOM??? appears only when using Dolby Pro Logic.

NORMAL: Select this mode when the center speaker cannot reproduce the bass better than the front speakers. The bass portions of the center channel signals are output through the front speakers.

WIDE: Select this mode when the center speaker can reproduce the bass better than the front speakers. All signals of the center channel are output through the center speaker.

OFF:Select this mode when shut off the center channel signals.
