USING THE RDS FUNCTION

What is RDS?

The RDS (Radio Data System) is a digital information system developed by the EBU (European Broadcast Union). Piggy-backed on normal FM broadcasts, RDS offers a variety of information services and automatic retuning functions for RDS-compatible car stereos. In 1988, RDS became available in the United Kingdom, France, West Germany, Ireland and Sweden. Test transmissions are being conducted in many other european countries. It is expected that RDS will be available in most western european countries in the near future.

'AF' function (ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCIES) (10)

When pressed short, AF switching mode is selected and the state of AF switching mode is displayed by AF indication in display.

Indication off: AF mode off.

Indication on: AF mode on, and has RDS information.

AF indication flashing: AF switching mode on, but RDS information is not received yet.

When AF switching mode is selected, the radio checks the signal strength of AF all the time.

Como retirar e colocar o painel frontal

The interval of checking time of each AFs depends on the signal strength of current station, from a few minutes for strong station to a few seconds for weak station. Every time that new AF is stronger than current station, it switches over to that frequency for very short time, and NEW FREQUENCY is displayed for 1-2 second. Because the mute time of AF switching Or checking time is very short, it is almost inaudible in case of normal program.

During FM mode, when AF is on, SEEK, (SCAN), AUTO-MEMORY function can only receive and save RDS program.

When pressed long, AF mode is converted to REGION ON/OFF mode.

- Regional mode ON:

AF switching or PI SEEK is implemented to the station which have all PI codes same as current station. REG segment is turned on, in LCD display.

The regional code in the format of PI code is ignored when AF switching or PI SEEK is implemented.

'TA' function (TRAFFIC ANNOUNCEMENT) (7)

When press the button, it is activated as TA mode on or off.

1) If the unit is in CD mode, it will switch to radio mode temporarily.

2) If volume level is below 20, volume level is raised to 20, and returns to its previous mode and volume level when the traffic announcement is over. If volume is adjusted during traffic announcement, only the previous volume is valid.

TA interruption function:

The current traffic announcement is canceled by pressing this key. But the TA mode will not be off.

When TA is on, SEEK, (SCAN), AUTO MEMORY function can be received or saved only when traffic program identification code has been received.
