RDS Operations
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 long distances
(AF switching).
Also, if a traffic announcement or programme
type information 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 renewal of other preset stations on the
same network and interruption of traffic
announcement and/or chosen programme type
from other stations (TP). This function is not
available in some areas.
• The RDS interrupt does not function during AM
(MW/LW) radio reception or in TV mode.
Note:
•
When you store a station without broadcasting
RDS data to the preset memory, store the station
after receiving more than 10 seconds. If you store
such a station within 10 seconds, it will be stored
as an RDS station, and the RDS tracking function
will work when tuning in.
