RD S (Radio D at a Syst em )
RDS is a digital information system that lets you receive sig-
nals besides those of regular radio programmes, such as net -
w ork information being transmitted from radio stations.
When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station w ith RDS capa-
bility), the programme service name of the station is displayed
along w ith the frequency, advising you quickly w hich station
is being received.
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also transmit frequency
data for the same station. When you are making long trips,
this function automatically sw itches to the particular frequen-
cy w ith the best reception for the particular netw ork of sta-
tions that you w ant to listen to. The data is automatically
stored, allow ing you to sw itch quickly to another RDS sta-
tions, broadcasting the same programme, that has better
reception. These include stations stored in the station preset
memory that you often listen to.
A larm
When an emergency transmission (announcing disasters, etc.)
is sent, all current functions are interrupted to allow the w arn-
ing to be received.
EON (Enhanced Ot her N et w ork )
Stations that offer EON 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 sw itches to the other station for the
duration of the bulletin.
The EON indicator lights up w hen the RDS station currently
being listened to starts to broadcast EON frequency data.
