EN.05-16KS-FX650R/550R[E] 00.1.28, 11:23 AM89 ENGLISH What you can do with RDS EON RDS OPERATIONS RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with theirregular programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well asinformation about what type of programme they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.Another advantage of RDS function is called “EON (Enhanced Other Networks).” The EONindicator lights up while receiving an FM station with the EON data. By using the EON datasent from a station, you can tune into a different station of a different network broadcastingyour favorite programme or traffic announcement while listening to another programme or toanother source such as Tape.By receiving the RDS signals, this unit can do the following:• Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-Tracking Reception)• Standby Reception of TA (Traffic Announcement) or your favorite programme• PTY (Programme Type) search• TP (Traffic Programme) search• And some other functions Tracing the same programme automatically (Network- Tracking Reception) When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automaticallytunes in another RDS station, broadcasting the same programme with stronger signals. So,you can continue to listen to the same programme in its finest reception, no matter where youdrive. (See the illustration on the next page.)Two types of the RDS data are used to make Network-Tracking Reception work correctly —PI (Programme Identification) and AF (Alternative Frequency).Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, Network-Tracking Reception will not operate.To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and hold TP/RDS (TrafficProgramme/Radio Data System) for more than 1 second. Each time youpress and hold the button, Network-Tracking Reception modes change asfollows:

RDS AF indicator REG indicatior Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3 EN.05-16KS-FX650R/550R[E] 00.1.27, 9:53 AM910 ENGLISH Mode 1 The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not. Network-Tracking is activated with Regionalization set to “off.” Switches to another station within the same network when the receiving signals from the current station become weak. Note: In this mode, the programme may differ from the one currently received. Mode 2 Both the AF indicator and the REG indicator light up. Network-Tracking is activated with Regionalization set to “on.” Switches to another station, within the same network, broadcasting the same programme when the receiving signals from the current station become weak. Mode 3 Neither the AF indicator nor the REG indicator lights up. Network-Tracking is deactivated. The same programme can be received on different frequencies. Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency B Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency A Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency D Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency C Programme 1 broadcasting on frequency E EN.05-16KS-FX650R/550R[E] 00.1.27, 9:53 AM1011 ENGLISH Using Standby Reception Standby Reception allows the unit to switch temporarily to your favorite programme (PTY: Programme Type) and Traffic Announcement (TA) from the current source (another FM station and TAPE (or CD Changer and other connected components for KS-FX650R)). Note: Standby Reception will not work if you are listening to an AM station. TA Standby Reception
