RDS
Many FM stations broadcast an RDS (Radio Data System) signal in addition to their programme in the reception area "EUROPE" that allows the follow- ing additional functions:
•The station name is shown on the display.
•The car sound system recognises traffic an- nouncements and news broadcasts and can automatically switch them through in other operating modes (e.g. in CD mode).
•Alternate frequency: If RDS is activated, the car sound system automatically selects the best receivable frequency for the station that is cur- rently set.
•Regional: At certain times, some radio stations divide their programme into regional pro- grammes providing different content. If the REGIONAL function is activated, the car sound system changes only to those alternate frequen- cies on which the same regional programme is being broadcast.
The functions RDS and REGIONAL are activated and deactivated in the user menu (see the chap- ter "User settings", section "Making settings in the "TUNER" menu", menu items "RDS" and "REGIONAL").
Note:
If you adjust a different reception area than "EUROPE", RDS is automatically switched off. The station name continues to be shown on the display. If you want to use radio stations with RDS features in your region, switch on RDS in the user menu.
