What is RDS? RDS (Radio Data System) is a system for transmitting data along with FM programs. This data, which is inaudible, provides a variety of features such as: program service name, program type display, traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning and program type tuning, intended to aid radio listeners in tuning to a desired station.
AF Function The AF (Alternative Frequencies search) function is used to search for other frequencies in the same network as the currently tuned station. It automatically retunes the receiver to another frequency in the network which is broadcasting a stronger signal when there are problems with reception of the currently tuned station or better reception is possible on a different frequency.
PI Seek Function The tuner searches for another frequency broadcasting the same programming. "PI SEEK" appears on the display and the radio volume is muted during a PI Seek. The muting is discontinued after completion of the PI Seek, whether or not the PI seek has succeeded. If the PI Seek is unsuccessful, the tuner returns to the previous frequency.
• The system switches back to the original source following traffic announcement reception. • The TA function can be activated from the cassette player or multi-CD player mode if the tuner was last set to the FM band but not if it was last set to the MW/LW band.
TP or EON-TP station. In the cassette player mode, the tuner automatically seeks out the TP station with the strongest signal in the current area 10 (or 30)* seconds after "TP" disappears from the display.
PTY Function The PTY function enables you to select stations by the type of programming they broadcast (PTY Search). It also provides automatic tuning to emergency broadcasts (PTY Alarm). • PTY code program types are as follows: 1. NEWS: News. 2.
