Radio mode
Convenient RDS functions
This device is equipped with an RDS (Radio Data System) radio receiver. Many FM sta- tions broadcast a signal that not only car- ries the programme but also additional information such as the station name and programme type (PTY).
The station name appears on the display as soon as the tuner receives it.
The convenient RDS functions AF (Alternative Frequency) and REGIONAL ex- tend your radio’s range of functions.
•AF: If the RDS function is activated, the radio automatically tunes into the best receivable frequency for the station that is currently set.
•REGIONAL: At certain times, some ra- dio stations divide their programme into regional programmes providing different content. You can use the REG function to prevent the car radio from switching to alternative frequencies that are transmitting different pro- gramme content.
Note:
REGIONAL must be activated/deacti- vated (REG ON/OFF) separately in the menu.
