RDS
Many FM stations broadcast an RDS (Radio Data
System) signal in addition to their programme
in the reception area "EUROPE" that allows the
following 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 other
operating modes (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 cur-
rently set.
• Regional: At certain times, some radio sta-
tions divide their programme into regional
programmes providing diff erent content. If
the REGIONAL function is activated, the car
sound system changes only to those alternate
frequencies on which the same regional pro-
gramme is being broadcast.
The functions RDS and REGIONAL are activated
and deactivated in the user menu (see the chap-
ter "User settings", section "Making settings
in the "TUNER" menu", menu items "RDS" and
"REGIONAL").
