About CDsAbout RDS

RDS (Radio Data System)

When listening to an RDS station, the
programme service name of the station is
displayed, advising you quickly which station
is being received.
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also
transmit alternative frequency data for the
same station. When you are making long
trips, this function automatically switches to
the particular frequency with the best
reception for the particular network of
stations that you want to listen to. The data is
automatically stored, allowing you to switch
quickly to another RDS stations, broadcasting
the same programme, that has better
reception. These include stations stored in the
station preset memory that you often listen
to.

Enhanced Other Network

Stations that offer <Enhanced Other
Network> also transmit information about
other RDS stations that have traffic
information. When you are tuned to a station
that is not transmitting traffic information, but
another RDS station starts transmitting a
traffic bulletin, the tuner automatically
switches to the other station for the duration
of the bulletin.

Alarm

When an emergency transmission
(announcing disasters, etc.) is sent, all current
functions are interrupted to allow the warning
to be received.
