without having to retune the same station
manually.

programmes. Any information/programme
received, will interrupt the currently selected
source.

type. Also searches your selected programme
type.
CT (Clock Time)

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.
