Radio Broadcast Data System -
(RBDS)

The SC-901 radio is equipped with an

advanced system allowing information from

broadcasters to be transmitted inaudibly

together with the audio signal. This

information is then decoded by the SC-901

and made available for several new and

unique features. The RBDS or Radio

Broadcast Data System operates in the FM

band only, and the information transmitted is

supplied by participating broadcasters. Volvo

has no control over the accuracy of the data

or information. Please refer to pages 175-179

regarding specific descriptions and operation

of these functions.
Volvo was among the first to pioneer this

technology throughout Europe and it is

slowly making its way to North America.

Coverage by local broadcasters may be

limited at this time, but as the technology and

benefits grow, you will find the SC-901 radio

ready to take advantage of this system.

Automatic tuning

This feature may not apply in your area.
If you tune into a station using RBDS, the

frequency is displayed followed by the name

of the station in letters. The AF function

ensures that the radio automatically tunes into

the most powerful transmitter for the selected

program.
Keep the FM button pressed down for at least

two seconds. ‘AF Switch OFF’ appears in the

display for two seconds. If you want to switch

on the AF function, press the FM button for

less than one second. ‘AF Switch ON’ then

appears in the display.

function will only seek stations which

broadcast this particular type of program.
Press the button to switch off this function.
