Tuner operations
Switching to broadcast program of your 
choice temporarily
Another convenient Radio Data System service is called 
“Enhanced Other Network”.
This allows the system to switch temporarily to a broadcast 
program of your choice (TA, News, and/or Info) from a 
different station except in the following cases:
• When you are listening to non-Radio Data System 
stations (all AM — MW stations, some FM stations and 
other sources).
• When the system is in standby mode.
NOTE
• Before you start operations;
– The Enhanced Other Network function is only applicable 
to preset stations.
Press TA/News/Info repeatedly with 
SHIFT pressed, until the program 
type indicator (TA/News/Info) you 
want appears on the display window.
Each time you repeat the procedure, the indicator on the 
display window changes.
TA: Traffic Announcement in your area.
News: News.
Info: Program the purpose of which is to impart advice in 
the widest sense.
To stop listening to the program selected by 
Enhanced Other Network
Press TA/News/Info repeatedly again so that the program 
type indicator (TA/News/Info) goes off from the display 
window. The system exits from Enhanced Other Network 
standby mode and goes back to the previously selected 
station.
When an emergency broadcast (Alarm signal) is sent 
from an FM station
The system automatically tunes in to the station and 
“ALARM” appears on the display window while the system 
receiving the emergency broadcast.
Note that an emergency broadcast cannot be received in the 
following cases;
• When you are listening to non-Radio Data System 
stations (all AM — MW stations, some FM stations and 
other sources).
• When the system is in standby mode.The TEST signal is used for equipment test — whether 
it can receive the Alarm signal correctly
The TEST signal makes the system work in the same way as 
the Alarm signal does. If the TEST signal is received, the 
system automatically switches to the station broadcasting 
the TEST signal.
While receiving the TEST signal, “TEST” appears on the 
display window.
7How the Enhanced Other Network function actually 
works
Case 1
If there is no station broadcasting the program you have 
selected
The system continues tuning in to the current station.
‘
When a station starts broadcasting the program you have 
selected, the system automatically switches to the station. 
The indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
‘
When the program is over, the system goes back to the 
previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Network 
function still remains activated.
Case 2
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the 
program you have selected
The system continues to receive the station but the indicator 
of received PTY code starts flashing.
‘
When the program is over, the indicator of received PTY 
code stops flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other 
Network function still remains activated.
NOTE
• In Enhanced Other Network standby mode, if you change the 
source to play, Enhanced Other Network standby mode is 
canceled temporarily. If you change the source to FM again, 
the system returns to Enhanced Other Network standby 
mode.
• Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may 
not be compatible with this system.
• Enhanced Other Network does not function for some FM 
stations with Radio Data System service.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other 
Network function, the station does not change even if 
another network station starts broadcasting a program of the 
same Enhanced Other Network data.
• While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other 
Network function, you can only use 
TA/News/Info and 
DISPLAY (with SHIFT pressed) as the tuner operation 
buttons.
The program type indicator
