Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System will enhance your
enjoyment when you listen to FM radio sta-
tions.
More and more radio stations broadcast
RDS information along with their regular
programming.
As soon as a programme has been identi-
fied, the station name including a regional
identifier, if applicable, will appear in the dis-
play, for example, NDR1 NDS (regional pro-
gramme in Lower Saxony, Germany).
When RDS is activated, the preset buttons
become programme buttons. You now know
exactly which programme you have tuned
into, making it easy to find the desired sta-
tion quickly.
But RDS offers you further advantages:
AF - Alternative frequency
The AF (Alternative Frequency) function
makes sure that the radio always tunes into
the strongest frequency of the currently se-
lected programme automatically.
This function is activated when AF appears
in the display.
In order to switch this function on or off,
press the AF·TA button until a beep is
emitted.
While searching for the strongest reception
signal, the radio may switch to mute briefly.
If SEARCH appears in the display when
the radio is switched on or one of the stored
frequencies recalled, the unit is already au-
tomatically searching for an alternative fre-
quency.
SEARCH will disappear from the display
when the alternative frequency has been
found or after the frequency band has run
through completely.
If the reception quality of the selected pro-
gramme deteriorates beyond a certain point:
Tune into another station.
REG - regional programme
Certain radio programmes are split up at
times into regional programmes offering lo-
cal information. The 1st programme broad-
cast by NDR, for example, offers pro-
grammes with different contents in the north-
ern German states of Schleswig-Holstein,
Hamburg and Lower Saxony at certain times
of the day.
If you are listening to a particular regional
programme and wish to continue doing so,
select REG ON in the DSC mode.
If you leave the service area of the regional
programme you are tuned into, or if you
would like to take advantage of full RDS
service, switch to REG OFF in the DSC
mode.
