RDS SYSTEM
This car radio is capable of receiving
RDS signals (RDS = Radio Data Sys-
tem) on the FM bands. RDS is a tech-
nique for the transmission of inaudible
information in the FM broadcasting
range. This means that the broadcaster
sends information to be analysed by the
car radio.
DAS Seek Qual. level
At the level DAS Seek Qual., all re-
ceivable and identifiable RDS pro-
grammes are stored in a list sorted by
quality. The dynamic autostore, search
and scan search functions access this
list.
DAS Seek Name level
At the level DAS Seek Name all re-
ceivable and identifiable RDS pro-
grammes are stored in a list sorted
alphabetically by name. The dynamic
autostore, search and scan search func-
tions access this list.
RDS Stations level
At the level Stations RDS only
identified RDS stations can be stored.
The unit constantly switches to the best
receivable transmission frequency for
the station.
During search for
Stations RDS the
unit will stop only at identifiable sta-
tions.
Stations Fix level
At the level Stations FIX frequen-
cies can be assigned to the station but-
tons. RDS evaluation does not take
place. The search for
Stations FIX
is equivalent to manual FM tuning
(page 153).
PTY (programme type)
With the PTY function, it is possible to
select specific types of programmes,
such as sport, pop music, classical music
etc.

tion, provided that the broadcaster has
this function installed. The selected sta-
tion programme type can be displayed or
a search for a specific PTY station can
be performed.
