Radio Operations

In addition to the ordinal tuner functions, this unit has a built-in RDS decoder system that supports
broadcast stations transmitting RDS data.
Using this system, the following functions are available:
• TA (Traffic Announcement) function
• AF (Alternative Frequency) function
• REG (Regional Programme) function
• PTY (Programme Type) function
Note:
• When you store a station without broadcasting RDS data to the preset memory, store the station after
receiving more than 10 seconds. If you store such a station within 10 seconds, it will be stored as an RDS
station, and the RDS tracking function will work when tuning in.
