Other convenient RDS functions and adjustments
Automatic selection of the station when using the number buttons
Usually when you press the number button, the preset station is tuned in.
However, when the preset station is an RDS station, something different will happen. If the signals from that preset station are not sufficient for good reception, this unit, using the AF data, tunes in to another frequency broadcasting the same programme as the original preset station is broadcasting.

Automatic clock adjustment
When shipped from the factory, the clock built in this unit is set to be readjusted automatically using the CT (Clock Time) data in the RDS signal.
If you do not want to use automatic clock adjustment, follow the procedure below.

Note:
You must stay tuned to the same station for more than 2 minutes after setting “AUTO ADJ” to “ON.” Otherwise, the clock time will not be adjusted. (This is because the unit takes up to 2 minutes to capture the CT data in the RDS signal.)
