RDS

Overview of the RDS

function

Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting

service that allows FM stations to send

additional digital information along with the

regular radio programme signal. Your car

stereo offers you a variety of services. Here

are just a few: Re-tuning the same programme

automatically, Listening to traffic

announcements and Locating a station by

programme type.

Notes

• Depending on the country or region, not all of

the RDS functions are available.

• RDS may not work properly if the signal strength

is weak or if the station you are tuned in is not

transmitting RDS data.

Displaying the station

name

The name of the station currently received

lights up on the display.

Select an FM station.

When you tune in an FM station that

transmits RDS data, the station name lights

up on the display.

Note

The “*” indication means that an RDS station is

being received.

Changing the display item

Each time you press (DSPL), the displayed

items change as follows:

z Frequency z Time z Station name

Note

“NO NAME” lights up if the station received does

not transmit RDS data.

Re-tuning the same

programme automatically

— Alternative Frequencies (AF)

The Alternative Frequencies (AF) function

automatically selects and re-tunes the station

with the strongest signal in a network. By

using this function, you can continuously

listen to the same programme during a long-

distance drive without having to re-tune the

station manually.

1 Select an FM station.

2 Press (AF/TA) until “AF” lights up on the

display.

The unit starts searching for an alternative

station with a stronger signal in the same

network.

Note

When there is no alternative station in the area,

and you don’t need to search for an alternative

station, turn the AF function off by pressing

(AF/TA) until “AF” disappears.

Changing the display item

Each time you press (AF/TA), the displayed

items change as follows:

z AF ON z TA ON z AF TA ON* z AF TA OFF

Blank Z

* Select this to turn on both AF and TA functions.

Notes

• “NO AF” and the station name flashes

alternately, if the unit cannot find an alternative

station in the network.

• If the station name starts flashing after selecting

a station with the AF function on, this indicates

that no alternative frequency is available. Press

(SEEK/MANU) while the station name is flashing

(within eight seconds). The unit starts searching

for another frequency with the same PI

(Programme Identification) data (“PI seek”

appears and no sound is heard). If the unit cannot

find another frequency, “NO PI” appears, and the

unit returns to the originally selected frequency.

Listening to a regional programme

The “REG” (regional on) function of this unit

lets you stay tuned to a regional programme

without being switched to another regional

station. (Note that you must turn the AF

function on.) The unit is factory preset to

“REG“ but if you want to turn off the function,

do the following.

Press (AF/TA) for more than two seconds

until “REG” disappears.

Note that turning the “REG” function off

might cause the unit to switch to another

regional station within the same network.

stored a local station.

2 Within five seconds, press again the

preset number button of the local

station.

3 Repeat this procedure until the desired

local station is received.

Listening to traffic

announcements

The Traffic Announcement (TA) and Traffic

Programme (TP) data let you automatically

tune in an FM station that is broadcasting

traffic announcements even though you are

listening to other programme sources.

Press (AF/TA) until “TA” or “AF TA” lights

up on the display.

The unit starts searching for traffic

information stations. “TP” lights up on the

display when the unit finds a station

broadcasting traffic announcements.

When the traffic announcement starts,

“TA” flashes, then flashing stops when the

traffic announcement is over.

Tip

When the traffic announcement starts while you

are listening to another programme source, the

unit automatically switches to the announcement

and goes back to the original source when the

announcement is over.

Notes

• “NO TP” flashes for five seconds if the received

station doesn’t broadcast traffic announcements.

Then, the unit starts searching for a station that

does broadcast traffic announcements.

• When the “EON” indication appears with “TP”

on the display, the current station makes use of

broadcast traffic announcements of other

stations in the same network.

To cancel the current traffic

announcement

Press (AF/TA) momentarily.

To cancel all traffic announcements, turn off

the function by pressing (AF/TA) until “AF”

disappears.

Presetting the volume of traffic

announcements

You can preset the volume level of the traffic

announcements beforehand, so you will not

miss the announcement. When a traffic

announcement starts, the volume will be

automatically adjusted to the preset level.

1 Select the desired volume level.

2 Press (3) while holding down (SEL).

“TA VOL” appears and the setting is

stored.

Receiving emergency

announcements

If an emergency announcement comes in while

you are listening to the radio, the programme

will be automatically switched to the

announcement. If you are listening to a source

other than the radio, the emergency

announcements will only be heard if you set

AF or TA to on. The unit will then

automatically switch to these announcements

no matter what you are listening to at the time.

RDS

EN

12

Presetting the RDS

stations with AF and TA

data

When you preset the RDS stations, the unit

stores each station’s data as well as its

frequency, so you don’t have to turn on the AF

or TA function every time you tune in the

preset station. You can select different setting

(AF, TA, or both) for individual preset stations,

or the same setting for all preset stations.

Presetting the same setting for all

preset stations

1 Select an FM band.

2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly and select

either “AF“, “TA” or “AF TA” (for both AF

and TA functions).

Note that turning the “AF TA” function off

stores RDS stations as well as non-RDS FM

stations.

3 Press (TUNER/BTM) for two seconds.

Presetting different settings for

each preset station

1 Select an FM band, and tune in the

desired station.

2 Press (AF/TA) repeatedly and select

either “AF“, “TA” or “AF TA” (for both AF

and TA functions).

3 Press the desired preset number button

for two seconds until “MEM” appears.

Repeat from step 1 for presetting other

stations.

Tip

If you want to change the preset AF and/or TA

setting after you tuned in the preset station, you

can do so by turning on/off the AF or TA function.

Locating a station by

programme type

You can locate the station you want by

selecting one of the programme types shown

below.

Note

Precautions

•If your car was parked in direct sunlight

resulting in a considerable rise in

temperature inside the car, allow the unit to

cool off before operating it.

•If no power is being supplied to the unit,

check the connections first. If everything is in

order, check the fuse.

•If no sound comes from the speakers of a

2-speaker system, set the fader control to the

centre position.

•When the tape is played back for a long

period, the cassette may become warm

because of the built-in power amplifier.

However, this is not a sign of malfunction.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit that are not covered in

this manual, please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

To maintain high quality sound

If you have drink holders near your audio

equipment, be careful not to splash juice or

other soft drinks onto the car audio. Sugary

residues on this unit or cassette tapes may

Notes on Cassettes

Cassette care

•Do not touch the tape surface of a cassette, as

any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.

•Keep cassettes away from equipment with

built-in magnets such as speakers and

amplifiers, as erasure or distortion on the

recorded tape could occur.

•Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight,

extremely cold temperatures or moisture.

•Slack in the tape may cause the tape to be

caught in the machine. Before you insert the

tape, use a pencil or similar object to turn the

reel and take up any slack.

•Distorted cassettes and loose labels can cause

problems when inserting or ejecting tapes.

Remove or replace loose labels.

Cassettes longer than 90 minutes

The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is

not recommended except for long continuous

play. The tapes used for these cassettes are

very thin and tend to be stretched easily.

Frequent playing and stopping of these tapes

may cause them to be pulled into the cassette

deck mechanism.

Slack

Maintenance

Fuse replacement

When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one

matching the amperage rating stated on the

fuse. If the fuse blows, check the power

connection and replace the fuse. If the fuse

blows again after replacement, there may be an

internal malfunction. In such a case, consult

your nearest Sony dealer.

Warning

Never use a fuse with an amperage rating

exceeding the one supplied with the unit as

this could damage the unit.

Cleaning the connectors

The unit may not function properly if the

connectors between the unit and the front

panel are not clean. In order to prevent this,

open the front panel by pressing (RELEASE),

then detach it and clean with a cotton swab

dipped in alcohol. Do not apply too much

force. Otherwise, the connector may get

damaged.
