Radio mode

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.

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 cur­rently set.

• Regional: At certain times, some radio stations
divide their programme into regional pro­grammes providing dif erent content. If the
REGIONAL function is activated, the car sound
system changes only to those alternate frequen­cies on which the same regional programme is
being broadcast.

The functions RDS and REGIONAL are activated
and deactivated in the user menu (see the chap­ter "User settings", section "Making settings
in the "TUNER" menu", menu items "RDS" and
