RDS station service

RDS (Radio Data System) is an information system which inaudible digital information is transmitted in
addition to the normal FM radio programme. When the device is receiving a RDS station and the recep-
tion strength is sufficient, the station name and “ ” appear in the display. It may take some time
before the RDS information is available.

RDS time synchronisation

Some RDS stations transmit a time signal. If reception is good, the time information will update the

time if you have selected the “CT ON” option during the time setting.

Time synchronisation can take several minutes, and even with good reception the accuracy

depends on the time signal being transmitted. The automatic time setting is always activated when

the device is switched from standby to tuner mode and receives a RDS station. When the device

is waiting for an RDS time signal, “

completes, “

CD-Rs and CD-RWs with audio data or MP3 and WMA formats.

may not contain more than 511 tracks/folders in total.
When burning CD-R and CD-RWs with audio files, various problems may arise
which could lead to problems with playback. This can be caused by faulty software or

hardware settings or by the CD being used. Should such problems arise, contact the customer services
of your CD burner or software manufacturer or look for relevant information, for example on the Internet.
