Radio Data
System (RDS)
RDS MODE
(9)(25)
RDS (Radio Data System) enables text information transmitted from VHF stati-
ons to be displayed. However, not every station includes RDS in its transmissi-
on signal. By pressing (maybe repeatedly) the “RDS” button, you can switch
the service on and off as well as select the different types of text information.
By actuating (repeatedly, if needed) the button “RDS MODE” the RDS service
can be switched on or off as well as the various options of text information
can be selected. “RDS” is displayed on the screen, if one of the RDS modes is
activated. The set RDS mode remains saved till the next time the tuner is swit-
ched on. The STU-400 supports three following RDS modes:
PS
