Audio system
a network sends information that gives an
RDS radio the following functions:
• Automatically switches to a stronger
transmitter if reception in the area is poor.
• Searches for programme type, such as
traffic information or news.
• Receives text information on current radio
programme.
NOTE
04
Some radio stations do not use RDS or only
some if its functionality.
If a required programme type is located the
radio can switch stations interrupting the
audio source currently in use. For example, if
the CD player is in use, it is paused. The
interrupting transmission is played at a pre-
set volume, see page 129. The radio returns
to the previous audio source and volume
when the set programme type is no longer
broadcast.
The programme functions alarm (ALARM),
traffic information (TP), news (NEWS), and
programme types (PTY) interrupt one
another in order of priority, where alarm has
the highest priority and programme types
has the lowest. For further programme inter-
ruption settings, see EON and REG,

page 129. Press EXIT to return to the inter-
rupted audio source.
