RADIO OPERATION
Radio operation
This car audio system has been
equipped with an RDS radio receiver.
Along with their regular station program-
ming, many FM radio stations now
transmit the RDS signal, which contains
such other information as the station
name and the program type (PTY).
As soon as the car audio system receiv-
er detects the station name, it will ap-
pear in the display. It is also possible to
display the program type. For more in-
formation, refer to the section on “Pro-
gram Type (PTY)”.

ously searches in the background

gramming at different times of the
