Radio Data System Operations
Radio Data System
This unit has a built-in Radio Data System de-
coder system that supports broadcast stations
transmitting Radio Data System data.
This system can display the name of the broad-
cast station being received (PS) and can auto-
matically switch to the broadcast station with the
best reception as you move long distances (AF
switching).
Also, if a traffic announcement or programme
type is broadcast from an Radio Data System
station, no matter what mode you are in, this
broadcast is received. Additionally, if EON in-
formation is received, this information enables
automatic switching of other preset stations on
the same network and interruption of the station
being received with traffic information from other
stations (TP). This function is not available in
some areas. When using the Radio Data System
function, always set the radio to FM mode.
