Radio mode
RDS
Many FM stations broadcast an RDS (Radio Data
System) signal in addition to their programme in
the tuner region "EUROPE" that allows the follow-
ing additional functions:
•
The station name is shown on the display.
•
The car sound system recognises traffi c an-
nouncements and news broadcasts and can
automatically switch them through in any op-
erating mode (e.g. in CD mode).
•
Alternate frequency : If RDS is activated, the
car sound system automatically selects the
best receivable frequency for the station that
is currently set.
•
Regional (REG): At certain times, some radio
stations divide their programme into regional
programmes providing different content. If the
REG function is activated, the car sound sys-
tem changes only to those alternate frequen-
cies on which the same regional programme is
being broadcast.
To switch the RDS or REG function on or off, please
read the section "Performing settings in the user
menu" in the chapter "User settings" (menu items
"RDS", "REG").
