Also, if a traffic announcement or programme type is broadcast from an RDS station, no matter what mode you are in, this broadcast is received. Additionally, if EON information is received, this information enables automatic switching of other preset stations on the same network and interruption of the station being received with traffic information from other stations (TP). This function is not available in some areas.

When using the RDS function, always set the radio to FM mode.

  • PS : Programme Service Name
  • PTY : Programme Type
    EON : Enhanced Other Network
  • TP : Traffic Programme

CD/MP3/WMA Operations

What is MP3?

MP3 is an audio compression method and classified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. This audio compression method has penetrated into PC users and become a standard format. This MP3 features the original audio data compression to about 12 percent of its initial size with a high quality sound. This means that about 10 music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time without having to change CDs.

What is WMA?

WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Audio, an audio file format developed by Microsoft Corporation.

Notes:

  • If you play a file with DRM (Digital Rights Management) enabled for WMA, no audio is output. "---:" will be blinking for several seconds before it skips to next track.
  • Windows Media™, and the Windows® logo are trademarks, or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other countries.
  • To disable DRM (Digital Rights Management):

  • When using Windows Media Player 8, click on TOOLS OPTIONS COPY MUSIC tab, then under COPY SETTINGS unclick the check box for PROTECT CONTENT. Then, reconstruct files.

  • When using Windows Media Player 9, click on TOOL OPTIONS MUSIC RECORD tab, then under Recording settings, unclick the check box for RECORD PROTECTED MUSIC. Then, reconstruct files.
  • When using Windows Media Player 10, click on TOOL OPTIONS RIP MUSIC tab, then under Rip settings, unclick the check box for COPY PROTECT MUSIC. Then, reconstruct files.

Notes:

  • Personally constructed WMA files are used at your own responsibility.
  • Disabling DRM can be done if the file is ripped from CD.
