Overview of the RDS function
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows FM stations to send additional digital information along with the regular radio programme signal. Your car stereo offers you a variety of services. Here are just a few: re-tuning the same programme automatically, listening to traffic announcements and locating a station by programme type.
Notes Depending on the country or region, not all of the RDS functions are available. RDS may not work properly if the signal strength is weak or if the station you are tuned in is not transmitting RDS data.
Receiving the memorised stations
Press (SOURCE) repeatedly to select the desired band. Press the number button ((1) to (10)) momentarily where the desired station is stored.
If you cannot tune in a preset station
Press either side of (SEEK/AMS) momentarily to search for the station (automatic tuning). Scanning stops when the unit receives a station. Press either side of (SEEK/AMS) repeatedly until the desired station is received.
Note If the automatic tuning stops too frequently, press (SHIFT), then press (3) (PLAY MODE) repeatedly until LOCAL (local seek mode) is displayed. Then press (4) (n) to select ON. Only the stations with relatively strong signals will be tuned in. Tip If you know the frequency of the station you want to listen to, press and hold either side of (SEEK/AMS) for two seconds until the desired frequency appears (manual tuning).

Each time you press (DSPL), the items alternate between the frequency and time.
Re-tuning the same programme automatically
Alternative Frequencies (AF)
The Alternative Frequencies (AF) function automatically selects and re-tunes the station with the strongest signal in a network. By using this function, you can continuously listen to the same programme during a longdistance drive without having to re-tune the station manually.
Frequencies change automatically. 96.0MHz
Listening to a regional programme
The REG ON (regional on) function of this unit lets you stay tuned to a regional programme without being switched to another regional station. (Note that you must turn the AF function on.)

Each time you press (AF/TA), the item changes as follows:
AF ON TA ON AF TA OFF * Select this to turn on both the AF and TA functions. Notes NO AF and the station name flash alternately, if the unit cannot find an alternative station in the network. If the station service name starts flashing after you have made the preset selection, it means that no alternative frequency is available, and the unit cannot receive the PI (Programme Identification) data of the memorised station. Press (SEEK/AMS) while the station service name is flashing (for about eight seconds) so the unit starts searching for a station with the same PI data, but on another frequency (PI seek appears and no sound is heard).
