4.1.4. RBDS functions
RBDS - General:
This car radio is capable of receiving RBDS signals
(RBDS = Radio Broadcasting Data System) on the
VHF bands. RBDS is a technique for the transmis-
sion of inaudible information in the VHF broadcast-
ing range. This means that the broadcaster sends
information to be analyzed by the auto radio.
All receivable RBDS stations are displayed with their
RBDS station names.
If all criteria for evaluating RBDS information are not
met, the unit will only display the frequency.
The information transmitted by the stations con-
tains also alternate frequencies. Alternate frequen-
cies have the same program content as the set
station.
Using these alternate frequencies, the radio can
conduct an evaluation and constantly tune into the
best-quality frequency with the same program con-
tent.
PTY (Program Type):
RDS stations can broadcast the station’s program
type (does not apply to all stations)
Examples of program types:
•NEWS - News service
•SOFT - Soft music
•INFORM - Information programs
•NOSTALGA - Nostalgia
•SPORTSSports reports
•JAZZ - Jazz music
•TALK - Talk
•CLASSICL - Classical
