What is RDS?
RDS is a system that allows additional, non-audible
information to be received. RDS can only operate
if it is supported by the station and if the RDS data
can be received. The type of information transmit-
ted over RDS may include:
– The station name (PS)
– The program type of the station (PTY)
– A list of alternative transmission frequencies
(AF) that allows the radio to be switched to an
alternative frequency if reception becomes
weak.
Switching on the RDS function
When the RDS function is active, the CDR-31 will
automatically switch to the strongest alternative
frequency for the station in order to provide opti-
mal radio reception.

Select "
RDS

RDS is now switched ON or OFF .
Switching on the regional function
Some broadcasters transmit programme content
on alternative frequencies that varies according to
the region (referred to as regionalisation). If the re-
gional function is deactivated, you may hear an-
other programme whilst the radio is switching to
an alternative frequency. When the regional func-
tion is activated, the system will only switch to al-
ternative frequencies that have the same program
content.

the current track title . Radio text only works when
reception is good.
