RDS (Radio Data System)
This unit is equipped with an integral RDS de-
coder which supports stations that transmit RDS
data. This system displays the name of the re-
ceived station (PS) and can automatically set the
station with the best reception during long-dis-
tance journeys (AF switching). Additionally, if a
traffic announcement or a programme type
(PTY) is transmitted by an RDS station, this can
be received independent of the set operating
mode. If additional EON data (extended other
network) is received, the system can switch au-
tomatically between stations of the same net-
work and interrupt programmes in order to re-
ceive traffic announcements (TP function).This
function is not available in certain regions.
RDS functions are only available for VHF op-
eration.

RDS operation
REG function (regional programme)
The optimal regional station can be received
if the REG function is switched on. If this func-
tion is switched off and the regional transmis-
sion area changes during the journey, the re-
gional station for this area is then received.
* The initial factory setting is ” OFF ”.
Note:
• This function is blocked if a national station is
being received, e.g. BBC 2 FM.
• The ON/OFF setting is effective if the AF func-
tion is set to ON.
