This unit is equipped with an RDS radio re- ceiver. Some FM stations broadcast a signal that contains not only the programme, but also information such as the station name and pro- gramme type (PTY).
If it is receivable and the RDS function is on, then the station name will appear on the dis- play. Furthermore, the programme type will be displayed briefly each time you tune to a different station. For more information, please see the section “Programme Type (PTY)”.
In addition, this device is equipped with an “Alternative Frequency” (AF) function:
