RDS functions
RDS (Radio Data System) links FM transmitters
into a network. An FM transmitter in such a
network sends information that gives an RDS
radio the following functions:
•
Automatically switches to a stronger trans-
mitter if reception in the area is poor.
•
Searches for programme type, such as
traffic information or news.
•
Receives text information on current radio
programme.
NOTE
Some radio stations do not use RDS or only
some if its functionality.
If a required programme type is located the
radio can switch stations interrupting the audio
source currently in use. For example, if the CD
player is in use, it is paused. The interrupting
transmission is played at a preset volume, see
page 151. The radio returns to the previous
audio source and volume when the set pro-
gramme type is no longer broadcast.
The programme functions alarm (
ALARM!
),
traffic information ( TP (Traffic information) ),
news ( News ), and programme types ( PTY
(Program type) ) interrupt one another in order
of priority, where alarm has the highest priority
and programme types has the lowest. For fur-
ther programme interruption settings (
EON
and Regional ), see page 150. Press EXIT to
return to the interrupted audio source.
