Other RDS functions
Enhanced Other Network (EON)
When EON data is received, the EON indicator lights the
TA and AF functions are expanded as follows.
TA : Traffic information from the current and other network stations can be received.
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 that currently tuned in to. For example, if you preset a station far from 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.
Emergency Announcement
Reception
When an emergency announcement is broadcast, the unit is automatically switched to receiving that broadcast.
(Even when in CD mode, CD changer mode and AUX mode.). During receiving the emergency announcement, ???ALARM??? blinks on the display.
Note: Emergency announcements are broadcast at the
