If the sound quality decreases and the stereo effect is lost while listening to an FM station

In some areas, adjacent stations may interfere with each other. If this interference occurs, this unit can automatically reduce this interference noise (the initial setting when shipped from the factory). However, in this case, the sound quality will be degraded and the stereo effect will be also lost.

If you do not want to degrade the sound quality and to lose the stereo effect, rather than to eliminate the interference noise, see "To change the FM tuner selectivity – FILTER" on page 24.

What you can do with RDS EON

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information 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 EON indicator lights up while receiving an FM station with the EON data. By using the EON data sent from a station, you can tune into a different station of a different network broadcasting your favorite programme or traffic announcement while listening to another programme or to another source such as tape.

By receiving the RDS data, 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
• 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 automatically tunes into 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 you drive. (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 (Traffic Programme/Radio Data System) for more than 1 second. Each time you press and hold the button, Network-Tracking Reception modes change as follows:

TP RDS Mode 1 Mode 2 Mode 3 SOFT BEAT POP 2:45 AF REG AF indicator —— REG indicator

Mode 1

The AF indicator lights up but the REG indicator does not.

Network-Tracking Reception 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.

- 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 Reception 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 Reception is deactivated.

Note:

If a DAB tuner is connected and Alternative Reception (for DAB services) is activated, Network-Tracking Reception is also activated automatically. On the other hand, Network-Tracking Reception cannot be deactivated without deactivating Alternative Reception. (See page 33.)

The same programme can be received on different frequencies.

    B --> C["FAD (fader)"]
    C --> D["BAL (balance)"]
    D --> E["BBE"]
    E --> F["WOOFER"]
    F --> G["VOL (volume)"]
    G --> A

Indication	To do: Range

Note:

Normally +/- button works as the volume control. So you do not have to select "VOL" to adjust the volume level.

What is BBE ^II ?

The BBE ^1* function restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound in recording, broadcasts, etc.

When a speaker reproduces sound, it introduces frequency-dependent phase shifting, causing high-frequency sounds to take longer to reach the ear than low frequency sounds. The BBE ^1 function adjusts the phase relationship between the low, mid and high frequencies by adding a progressively longer delay time to the low and mid frequencies, so that all frequencies reach the listener's ears at the proper time.

In addition, the BBE ^II function boosts low and high frequencies, which loudspeakers tend to be less efficient in reproducing, through dynamic, program-driven augmentation. When combined with the phase compensation feature, the resulting sound has a clearer, more finely detailed “live” presence.

Each time you press + or – in step 2 on the previous page, the BBE ^II function changes as follows:

graph TD
    A["BBE 1"] --> B["BBE 2"]
    B --> C["BBE 3"]
    C --> D["BBE OFF (Canceled)"]
    D --> E["BBE"]
    E --> F["SOFT BEAT POP SEL"]
    F --> G["(1) (2)"]
    G --> H["Canceled (OFF)"]
    H --> I["(3)"]

As the number gets higher, the BBE ^11 function becomes stronger.

When shipped from the factory, the BBE ^™ function is set to “2.”

To cancel the BBE ^II function, select "OFF."

What you can do more with DAB

Tracing the same program automatically (Alternative Reception)

You can keep listening to the same program

• While receiving a DAB service:

When driving in an area where a service cannot be received, this unit automatically tunes in another ensemble or FM RDS station, broadcasting the same program.

- While receiving an FM RDS station:

When driving in an area where a DAB service is broadcasting the same program as the FM RDS station is broadcasting, this unit automatically tunes into the DAB service.

Note:

When reception switches between DAB and FM, the listening volume level may increase or decrease inconveniently. This change in the volume level results from unequal audio injection levels at broadcaster site, but not from the malfunction of this unit.
