RDS services
This unit automatically provides RDS services as
follows:
AF (Alternative Frequencies)
Selects and retunes the station with the
strongest signal in a network. By using this
function, you can continuously listen to the
same program during a long-distance drive
without having to retune the same station
manually.
TA (Traffic Announcement)/TP (Traffic
Program)
Provides current traffic information/programs.
Any information/program received, will
interrupt the currently selected source.
PTY (Program Types)
Displays the currently received program type.
Also searches your selected program type.
CT (Clock Time)
The CT data from the RDS transmission sets
the clock.
Notes
• Depending on the country/region, not all RDS
functions may be available.
• RDS will not work if the signal strength is too weak,
or if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting
RDS data.

for subsequent traffic announcements, independently
from the regular volume level.
