RDS FUNCTION
(Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System is a service
provided by radio stations to facilitate
FM waveband tuning.
The RDS allows - for enabled stations
- automatic tuning to the best fre-
quency of the selected station (alter-
native frequency function). This means
that you can listen to the station with-
out retuning when you change area.
Obviously, the station must be received
in the area that you are travelling in. Furthermore, the RDS displays the
station name (Program Service func-
tion, up to eight characters) and the
traffic announcement status: the sys-
tem will seek the best frequency of the
required station.
Switching on and off
Proceed as follows to use the RDS:
1) in Radio mode, press MEN (10).
The display will show the Radio menu
fig. 212)repeatedly press the button (14)
next to the RDS message to select the
required operations (VAr, FIX or
OFF) (the default setting is VAR) de-
scribed below:
FIXSwitches the Radio RDS func-
tion on. Since some stations
use RDS to broadcast adver-
tisements in addition to the
station name, you can decide
to display only the station
name.
VARBasic setting with which the
Radio RDS function is fully ac-
tive. Advertising will also be
shown on the display.
OFFSwitches the RDS function
off. Stations are tuned to by
indicating the frequency on
the display (example: 87.5).
Under this condition also the
TA function is off.
