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 broadcast station being received (PS), and can automatically switch to the broadcast station with the best reception as you move over long distances (AF switching).

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

Also, if EON information is received, this information enables automatic switching of other preset stations on the same network and interruption of the station being received with traffic information from other stations (TP). This function is not available in some areas.

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

•AF : Alternative Frequency

•PS : Programme Service Name

•PTY : Programme Type

•EON : Enhanced Other Network

•TP : Traffic Programme

•PI : Programme Identification

•TA : Traffic Announcement
