272What 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 traffic 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
traffic 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, AF, TP, PTY
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.
Traffic information function
The Traf
fi c Programme (TP) function permits automatic and
temporary switching to an FM station broadcasting traffic
information.
The radio station or the source that you are listening to at this point
is placed on hold.
Once the traffic 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.

General notes on files
MP3 and WMA audio file formats
MP3 is the abbreviation of MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and MPEG is
the abbreviation of Motion Pictures Experts Group. This is a digital
audio compression standard that reduces the size of audio files by
eliminating frequencies that are inaudible to the human ear.
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 files at a compression rate
lower than that of the MP3 format, with an equivalent file size. File handling
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 files burned onto the disc.
Copyright
Your audio system may allow you to listen to music which is usually
protected by copyright in accordance with current national and
international standards. Please consult these standards and comply
with them.
