Radio operation with RDS Radio Data System

Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

DEUTSCH

The Radio Data System enhances your enjoyment when you listen to FM radio sta- tions.

More and more radio stations now broad- cast RDS information along with their re- gular programming.

As soon as a programme has been identi- fied, the station name including a regional identifier, if applicable, will appear in the display, for example, NDR1 NDS (regional programme in Lower Saxony, Germany).

When RDS is activated, the preset buttons become programme buttons. You now know exactly which programme you have tuned into, making it easy to find the desi- red station quickly.

But RDS also offers you further advantages:

While searching for the strongest recepti- on signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.

If "SEARCH" appears in the display when the radio is switched on or one of the stored frequencies recalled, the unit is already automatically searching for an alternative frequency.

"SEARCH" will disappear from the display when the alternative frequency has been found or after the frequency band has run through completely.

If the reception quality of the programme selected deteriorates beyond a certain point:

•Tune into another station.

If you leave the service area of the regio- nal programme you are tuned into, or if you would like to take full advantage of RDS service, switch to "REG OFF" in the DSC mode.

REG - regional programme

Certain radio programmes are split up at times into regional programmes offering local information.

If you are listening to a particular regional programme and wish to continue doing so, select "REG ON" in the DSC mode.
