RDS Station ID
With the help of RDS (Radio Data System) you can show the name of the station you are currently listening to as well as the station names of all other presets.
The RDS function is set to active by default, shown by the dark blue RDS icon at the left of the menu. In this mode, all station names will be visible both on the OSD menu as well as on the Information Display on the front panel.
If the RDS function on the left side of the menu is inactive (light blue), you will only see the frequen- cy of the current preset shown in the menu and on the front panel display. The Station Name line on top of the menu will disappear, but the name of all other stations preset will keep in the list.
Pressing STATUS D on the remote will change the front panels display’s indication from the frequency to the name of an RDS station or vice versa and will simultaneously turn the RDS indication in the OSD on or off.

TV MENU
As a Scart audio/video cable contains both audio and video inputs and outputs in one cable, the Scart connector between the DVD Receiver and the TV can also be used to lead the audio output signals of your TV to the DVD Receiver.
