RADIO DATA SYSTEM (RDS) ON FM
Many FM stations broadcast RDS information. This
set uses the RDS information to offer you many
advantages including :
DISPLAY OF STATION NAME
The set displays the name of the station instead
of its frequency.
AUTOMATIC RETUNING
The set remains tuned to the current station by
continually searching for the best possible
alternative frequency for reception.
Note : You can switch off AF when not required,
see 'SAM' (page 14); option 'AF'.
ALARM MESSAGES (PTY ALARM)
This set automatically receives emergency
messages made by the broadcaster.
– During the messages the display shows
'ALARM' and the station-name alternately.
TRAFFIC ANNOUNCEMENTS (TA)
You can activate the TA and/or NEWS* modes to
give priority so as to hear announcements related
to these subjects, (even if you play a CD/MP3* or
mute the set).

• Press to activate/deactivate TA.
Activate/deactivate NEWS*
