UMS 1 / UMS 2
RDS Radio Data System (only UMS 2)
Your unit is capable of receiving and evaluating RDS information
which is broadcasted along with the normal broadcast signal. The
channel name is displayed and automatically stored in the unit´s
memory, overwriting names previously stored.
RADIOTEXT (only UMS 2)
Some RDS stations broadcast RADIOTEXT, which is additional
information on the station and programme being broadcast.
RADIOTEXT information appears as ‘running’ text in the
display. RADIOTEXT is transmitted character-by-character by
the radio station. As a result of that it may take some time until
the entire text has been completely received.
• RADIOTEXT is called up by pressing the
Ǻ
button. Now, the
running text of the RADIOTEXT signal can be seen.
– If a station does not broadcast RADIOTEXT, the unit
switches automatically to the frequency indication.
