Radio Data System RDS
The Radio Data System transmits additional
information in the FM range. RDS stations there-
fore offer the following features:
>
Where a radio station is broadcast on several
frequencies, the frequency with the best
reception is automatically selected.
> When the reception conditions are good, the
station names are displayed.
> Additional information can be shown on the
display such as text messages from the sta-
tion.
> Some stations transmit the type of received
programme, PTY, via RDS. This is briefly dis-
played when the station is selected, e.g.
news reports, NEWS. With PTY emergency
and catastrophe warnings can also be dis-
played, e.g. "ALARM".

Digital radio*
The digital radio provides you with additional
stations that are transmitted with a higher
sound quality.
Several stations are combined to form a group.
Each station can transmit additional information
such as information about the station, for exam-
ple, or the name of the artist performing the cur-
rent music track.
Some stations feature additional programmes;
sports stations can transmit different sports
events simultaneously, for instance. You then
have the option of choosing a particular sports
event.
A digital radio network must be available in
order to receive digital stations.
