RDS services
This unit automatically provides RDS services as
follows:
AF (Alternative Frequencies)

strongest signal in a network. By using this
function, you can continuously listen to the
same programme during a long-distance drive
without having to retune the same station
manually.
TA (Traffic Announcement)/TP (Traffic
Programme)
Provides current traffic information/
programmes automatically. Any information/
programme received, will interrupt the
currently selected source.
PTY (Programme Types)
Displays the currently received programme
type. Also searches your selected programme
type.
Notes
• Depending on the country/region, not all RDS
functions may be available.

or if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting
RDS data.
• With the TA function, certain interruptions may not
be traffic announcements.

you will not be switched to another regional
station with a stronger frequency.
If you leave this regional programme's reception
area, set "REG-OFF" in setup (page 9).

other areas.
