RDS Functions

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.

EN • 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 in the display.

Select an FM station.

When you tune in an FM station that transmits RDS data, the station name lights up in the display.

BBC1 FM

Note

The “*” indication means that an RDS station is being received.

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.

Frequencies change automatically.

Press the AF/TA button until “AF ON”

 

lights up in 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 the AF/TA button until “AF/TA OFF” lights up.

Changing the displayed items

Each time you press the

AF/TA button, the

displayed items change as follows:

z AF ON

z TA ON

z AF/TA ON*

 

 

AF/TA OFF 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 service name starts flashing after you've made the preset selection, it means that no alternative frequency is available and the unit cannot receive the PI (Programme Identification) data of the memorized station. Press the SEEK/MANU button while the station service name is flashing (for about eight seconds) so the unit starts searching for a station with the same PI data, but with another frequency (“PI SEEK” lights up and no sound is heard). If the unit still cannot find an alternative station, “NO PI” lights up and the unit goes back to the original preset station.
