What is RDS?

The Radio Data System (RDS) function on the FM waveband permits:


- automatic retuning to alternative frequencies carrying the same
station while travelling through different regions (if the transmitters
of this station cover the area through which you are travelling),

- temporary tuning to traffi c information announcements,

- display of the name of the station, etc...

Most FM stations use RDS.
These stations transmit non-audible data in addition to their programmes.
The data transmitted in this way allows you access to various functions,
mainly displaying of the name of the station, temporary tuning to
traffi c information announcements or automatic retuning to alternative
frequencies.
RDS allows you to continue listening to the same station automatically by
means of alternative frequencies. However, alternative frequencies may not
be provided throughout the country. Radio stations do not cover the whole
country, which explains the loss of reception of the station during a journey.

RDS alternative frequencies


Your radio automatically checks and selects the best frequency for the radio station
to which it is tuned (if the station broadcasts on several transmitters or frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers approximately 30 miles (50 km). The
change from one frequency to another explains the loss of reception during a
journey.
If the station to which you are listening does not have several frequencies in the
region in which you are currently located, you can deactivate automatic alternative
frequencies.


Traffi c information function

The Traffic Programme (TP) function permits automatic and
temporary switching to an FM station broadcasting traffi c
information.
The radio station or the source that you are listening to at this point
is placed on hold.
Once the traffi c information has ended, the system switches back to
the radio station or the source that you were listening to initially.

Programme types

Some stations offer the option of listening to a themed type of
programme as a priority, selected from the list available below:
NEWS, AFFAIRS, INFOS, SPORT, EDUCATE, DRAMA, CULTURE,
SCIENCE, VARIED, POP M, ROCK M, EASY M, LIGHT M,
CLASSICS, OTHER M, WEATHER, FINANCE, CHILDREN,
SOCIAL, RELIGION, PHONE IN, TRAVEL, LEISURE, JAZZ,
COUNTRY, NATION M, OLDIES, FOLK M, DOCUMENT.

Playing an MP3/WMA CD

When the MP3/WMA CD is inserted in the player,
playing of the tracks is automatic.
The tracks cannot be recorded onto the music server.

You can play CDs with up to 8 levels, 255 folders and
400 fi les maximum. Windows Media and Microsoft Corporation are trademarks
registered in the United States and/or other countries.













General notes on MP3/WMA CDs


What is the MP3/WMA fi le format?

MP3 is the abbreviation of MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and MPG is the
abbreviation of Motion Pictures Experts Group, a digital video data
compression standard used on media such as video CDs.
The MP3 compression reduces the number of bytes in a song by
eliminating the long sound waves in the range of frequencies which
are imperceptible to the human ear, so producing high quality audio
fi les with a low volume of data.
This compression divides the size of the content of a conventional
audio CD by approximately 10, which means that the content of
10 audio CDs can be recorded onto a single CD-R or CD-RW.
WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Audio, another audio
data compression standard offered by Microsoft.
It can be used to create and save audio fi les at a compression rate
higher than that of the MP3 format.
Acceptance of the fi les

Some blank CDs may not be played by your equipment (quality,
recording speed...).
When you burn a CD-R or CD-RW, select the ISO 9660 level 1.2 or
Joliet burning standard.
To obtain the best acoustic quality possible, select the lowest
burning speed.
The MPEG1 and MPEG2 standards are accepted.
Transmission speeds between 32 and 320 kbits/s and scans
between 16 kHz and 48 kHz are accepted.
To display the title information (the name of the artist, the title of the
album, etc...), the information contained in the ID3 Tags or the WMA
Tags must be included in the MP3/WMA fi les burned onto the disc.
