What you can do with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their
regular program signals. For example, the station send their station names, as well as
information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
By receiving the RDS signals, this unit can do the following:
• Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-tracking Reception)
• Standby Reception of TA (Traffic Announcement) or your favorite programme
• PTY (Program Type) search
• TA (Traffic Announcement) search
• And some other functions
Tracing the same programme automatically (Network-
Tracking Reception)
When driving in an area where FM reception is not good, the tuner built in this unit automatically
tune in another RDS station, within the same network broadcasting the same programme
with stronger signals. So, you can continue to listen to the same programme in its finest
reception, no matter where you drive. (See illustration.)
Two types of the RDS signals are used to make Network-Tracking Reception work correctly
— PI (Programme Identification) and AF (alternative Frequency) data.
Without receiving these data correctly from the RDS station you are listening to, Network-
Tracking Reception will not operate.
To use Network-Tracking Reception, press and hold TP/RDS (Traffic
TP
Programme/Radio Data System) for more than 1 second. Each time you
RDS
press and hold the button, Network-Tracking Reception modes change as
