Using Radio Data System (RDS)

To store RDS stations with the AF and TA
setting
You can preset RDS stations along with an AF/TA

or manually. If you preset manually, you can also
preset non-RDS stations.
To receive emergency announcements
With AF or TA on, emergency announcements will
automatically interrupt the currently selected
source.
To adjust the volume level during a traffic
announcement
Level will be stored into memory for subsequent
traffic announcements, independently from the
regular volume level.
To stay with one regional program
(REGIONAL)
When the AF and REGIONAL functions are on, you
will not be switched to another regional station
with a stronger frequency. If you leave this regional
program’s reception area, set [SET REG-OFF] in [SET
GENERAL] during FM reception (page 12).
This function does not work in the UK and some
other areas.

stations in the area, even if they are not stored on
your number buttons.
During FM reception, press a number button (1 to 6)

press again a number button of the local station.
Repeat this procedure until the local station is
