TUNER OPERATION (FM)

RDS information

RDS (Radio Data System) is an information system which is trans -
mitted additionally by most FM stations.
When the hi-fi system receives an RDS station, the station name
appears in the display, for example »Fantasy« and »RDS«.
Notes:
It may take some time before all the RDS information is
transmitted.
GRUNDIG has no influence on the correctness of this information.
Searching for RDS stations
1 Search for the desired RDS station by pressing »A« or »S« re-
peatedly until an RDS station is received and »RDS« appears in
the display.
– If the reception is strong enough, the station name appears
after a short time.

Some RDS stations transmit an RDS time signal. If reception is good
the time is automatically updated with this time signal, if you have ac-
tivated this function (display »CT«), please also refer to the chapter
on setting the time on pages 17/18.
Time synchronisation can take several minutes, and even with good
reception the accuracy depends on the time signal being transmitted.
The automatic setting is always activated if the hi-fi is switched on
from standby to radio mode and a suitable RDS station can be re-
ceived (if an RDS time signal is expected, the »
