NOTE
NOTE
RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS is a digital information system that lets
you receive signals besides those of regular
radio programmes, such as network
information being transmitted from radio
stations.
When listening to an RDS station (ie, a station
with RDS capability), the programme service
name of the station is displayed along with the
frequency, advising you quickly which station
is being received.
RDS (Radio Data System) stations also
transmit frequency data for the same station.
When you are making long trips, this function
automatically switches to the particular
frequency with the best reception for the
particular network of stations that you want to
listen to. The data is automatically stored,
allowing you to switch quickly to another RDS
stations, broadcasting the same programme,
that has better reception. These include
stations stored in the station preset memory
that you often listen to.
Enhanced Other Network
Stations that offer <Enhanced Other Network>
also transmit information about other RDS
stations that have traffic information. When
you are tuned to a station that is not
transmitting traffic information, but another
RDS station starts transmitting a traffic
bulletin, the tuner automatically switches to
the other station for the duration of the
bulletin.
Alarm
When an emergency transmission
(announcing disasters, etc.) is sent, all current
functions are interrupted to allow the warning
to be received.
News Bulletin Function with PTY News
Timeout Setting
You can arrange to have news bulletins
interrupt your current listening source,
including other radio stations. When the News
Bulletin function is on, the PTY News Timeout
setting allows you to set the interval during
which further news interruption cannot take
place. You can adjust the PTY news
interruption period from 10 to 90 minutes for
each journey.
