RDS Operations
RDS (Radio Data System)
This unit has a built-in RDS decoder system that sup-
ports broadcast stations transmitting RDS data.
This system can display the name of the broad-
cast station being received
(
PS
)
and can auto-
matically switch to the broadcast station with the
best reception as you move long distances
(
AF
switching
)
.
Also, if a traffic announcement or programme type
is broadcast from an RDS station, no matter what
mode you are in, this broadcast is received.
Additionally, if EON information is received, this
information enables automatic switching of other
preset stations on the same network and inter-
ruption of the station being received with traffic
information from other stations
(
TP
)
. This func-
tion is not available in some areas.
When using the RDS function, always set the ra-
dio to FM mode.

automatically be stored in FM3.

viously stored in the memory at that position is over-
written.

tion, the stations previously stored at the remaining
