Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System offers you more convenience when you listen to FM radio stations. More and more radio stations have begun to broadcast RDS information along- side their programs.
As soon as a program has been identified, the station name including a regional identi- fier, if available, will appear in the display, for example, NDR1 NDS (regional program in Lower Saxony, Germany).
When RDS is activated, the preset buttons become program buttons. You now know exactly which program you have tuned into, making it easy to find the desired station quickly.
