RDS Functions
Overview of the RDS
Function
RDS (Radio Data System) is a system which uses
FM radio waves to receive digital signals.
Receiving RDS data with your car stereo unit
allows it to use a variety of services. There are
several ways to use these services. For instance,
you can receive information such as traffic
announcements and station names, or you can
cause the unit to automatically retune to the
strongest signal that is broadcasting the same
programme. So even if you travel a long distance,
it is still possible to listen to the same programme
without having to retune manually again and
again. Another function allows it to receive traffic
announcements during tape, CD or MD playback.
RDS offers various functions, but depending
on the country or region, not all of these are
available. Following information explains the
RDS functions of this unit.
Notes
• In case of weak signals or other poor reception
conditions, the RDS functions may not work properly.
• If the FM station currently received does not transmit
RDS data, the functions described below will not work.
Displaying the Station Name
By using RDS data, the name of the station
currently received can be displayed.
Select an FM station. n If it is a station
transmitting RDS data, the station
name will appear on the display.
When “*” appears in addition to the usual
frequency indication, an RDS station is being
received.
Changing the displayed items
Each time you press the DSPL button, the display on the
displayed items change as follows:
z Frequency z Time z Station Name
When “NO Name” is displayed instead of the
station name, the currently received station
does not transmit RDS data. After some
seconds, “NO Name” will disappear, and the
frequency will be displayed.
