RDS Operations

English

RDS (Radio Data System)

This unit has a built-in RDS decoder system that supports broadcast stations transmitting RDS data.

This system can display the name of the broad- cast station being received (PS) and can auto- matically switch to the broadcast station with the best reception as you move long distances (AF switching).

Also, if a traffic announcement or programme type is broadcast from an RDS station, no matter what mode you are in, this broadcast is received.

Additionally, if EON information is received, this information enables automatic switching of other preset stations on the same network and inter- ruption of the station being received with traffic information from other stations (TP). This func- tion is not available in some areas.

When using the RDS function, always set the radio to FM mode.
