RDS services

This unit automatically provides RDS services as 
follows:

Notes

•

Depending on the country/region, not all RDS 
functions may be available.

Storing RDS stations with the AF and 
TA setting

TA setting. If you use the BTM function, only 
RDS stations are stored with the same AF/TA 
setting. 
If you preset manually, you can preset both RDS 
and non-RDS stations with the AF/TA setting for 
each.

Staying with one regional program 

— REG

When the AF function is on: this unit’s factory 
setting restricts reception to a specific region, so 
you will not be switched to another regional 
station with a stronger frequency.

If you leave this regional program’s reception 
area, set “REG-OFF” in setup during FM 
reception (page 10).

Note

This function does not work in the UK and in some 
other areas.

AF

 (Alternative Frequencies)

same program during a long-distance drive 
without having to retune the same station 
manually.
