RDS OPERATIONS
The unit provides basic functions of RDS, including Pl (Program ldentification), radio
station name, RT (Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), AF (Alternative Frequency), TA (Traffic
Announcement) and PTY (Program Type) selection.
AF FUNCTION
■
Alternative frequencies lists are used for the same program service and used in
conjunction with the Pl code (Program ldentification code) to assist automatic tuning.
Using this information, a radio can automatically search another station that is playing
the same material. This is useful when the station you are listening to is fading out.
■
To activate AF function, touch the [AF] button on the user interface.
■
To cancel this function, do the operation above again.
NOTE:
■
During auto switching radio frequency, some interference may be heard. Turning off
AF function can settle this issue at the expense of AF switching.
TA FUNCTION
■
The TA (Traffic Announcement flag) function lets the unit receive traffic announcements
automatically no matter what media source is playing back. The TA function can be
activated by a TP (Traffic Program) station broadcasting traffic information.
■
When TA is activated and a traffic announcement is received, the current playing source
will be overridden by the traffic announcement if the current radio band is FM and the
'TA' indicator lights up, indicating that the unit is waiting for traffic announcements.
■
The unit returns to the original source after the traffic announcement has ended.
■
To activate TA function, touch the [TA] button on the user interface.
■
To cancel this function, do the operation above again.
