The machine features an optimised ground distribution system (Audio and chassis ) to avoid ground loops. The SDC2000 design is based on a modular concept: the different functions are performed by modules that are either connected directly (male connector of one module attached to female connector of another module) or through flat cables terminated by connectors.

PI (Program Identification) code that enables receiver tuning and identifies the station that is broadcasting the signal. A distinctive feature of the SDC2000 encoder is the ability to support the main services specified by the CENELEC EN50067 standard, namely: PI (discussed above), PS, PTY, TP, AF, TA, DI, M/S, PIN, RT, EON, TDC, IH, CT.
SDC2000 a) To automatically stop the Tape (or Compact Disk) and switch to Radio; b) To automatically turn on the radio when a traffic announcement begins; c) For automatic switching when tuned station does not broadcast traffic information. M/S - MUSIC/SPEECH SWITCH: Provides independent volume adjustment for music and speech.
