Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

The Radio Data System provides FM recep-

tion with enhanced convenience.

REG Regional

At certain times, the broadcast stations

transmit different programme content ac-

cording to the region. For example, German

An increasing number of radio stations now

broadcast RDS information supplementary

to the programme proper.

Radio

serves the northern regions

Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Lower

Saxony, and at certain times broadcasts re-

gional programmes which differ in content.

If you are listening to a regional programme

and wish to continue to receive it, switch to

REG ON in the DSC menu. If you are leav-

ing the region in which the regional pro-

gramme can be received, or if you wish to

enjoy the full RDS service, switch to “REG

OFF”.

As soon as stations can be recognized, the

station code appears, in some cases with

indication of the region, e.g. NDR1 NDS

(Niedersachsen).

”AF” then appears in reverse video on the

corresponding key.

With RDS, the station keys become pro-

gramme keys. You now know exactly what

station you are receiving, and you can there-

fore also select the desired station.

RDS offers you further advantages:

The radio may be muted briefly during the

search for the channel with the best recep-

tion.

Switching REG over:

matically.

If “SEARCH” appears on the display when

the unit is switched on or when a stored fre-

quency is called up, the unit is automatical-

ly searching for an alternative frequency.

•

Press << >> to toggle between REG

ON and REG OFF.

Switching AF on/off:

a signal is recognized, “TP” (Traffic Pro-

gramme) appears in the display.

deactivated only for the duration of this par-

ticular announcement. The unit switches

back to the previous state. Priority remains

active for further traffic announcements.

A number of keys have no function during a

traffic announcement.

In addition, some stations transmit no traf-

fic announcements of their own, but offer

with RDS-EON the facility of receiving traf-

fic announcements from a traffic programme

station within the same transmission chain.

Automatic seek run

If you are listening to MDs or CDs and you

leave the broadcast range of the selected

traffic programme station, the radio automat-

ically looks for a new traffic programme sta-

tion. If a traffic announcement station is not

found within approx. 30 seconds of the start

of the seek run, a beep sounds as warning

at intervals of 30 seconds. To switch off the

warning tone, follow the procedure de-

scribed above.

If priority for traffic announcements is to be

activated whilst such a station (e.g. NDR3)

is being received, “TA” (priority for Traffic

Announcements) must appear in the dis-

play.

When a traffic announcement is broadcast,

the unit switches automatically to the traffic

announcement programme (in this case

NDR2). The traffic announcement is played,

after which the unit switches back to the pro-

gramme (NDR3) previously selected.

Warning tone

Should you leave the broadcast range of a

selected traffic announcement programme,

a beep sounds as a warning at intervals of

approx. 30 seconds.

Pressing a station key on which a station

without a TP signal is stored also causes a

warning tone to sound.

Adjusting the volume for traffic

announcements and the warning

tone

This volume is set in the factory as a de-

fault. You can however change it by means

of DSC (refer to “Programming with DSC –

Press << or >> once or several times

to select the frequency.

We recommend that you use a familiar mu-

sic MiniDisc for adjustment of the filters. The

MiniDisc should include tracks with a range

of instruments and voice. Pure electronic

music is not suitable for evaluation purpos-

es, since the original sound is not known.

Press

once or several times to

adjust the level (GAIN +8 ... GAIN -8).

The subjective sound impression can be

improved considerably by suppression or

amplification of certain frequency ranges by

the car radio.

Press << or >> once or several times

to select a different frequency and to

adjust the level accordingly.

Before adjusting the equalizer, set the bass,

treble, balance and fader to “0”.

•

Press DPE or EXIT to save the select-

ed level and to return to the DPE main

menu.

This unit is equipped with two parametric fil-

ters. The first filter, “LOW EQ”, can be ad-

justed from 32 to 500 Hz, the second, “HIGH

EQ”, from 630 to 10 000 Hz. In this case,

parametric means that one frequency can

be increased or reduced for each of the two

filters (+10 to -20 dB). The bandwidth/qual-

ity of the two filters can also be adjusted.

This setting is described in the condensed

instructions under 8 AUD.

Press DPE or EXIT again to close the

DPE menu.

Now listen to the MiniDisc with which you

are familiar.

Evaluate your impression of the sound ac-

cording to your taste.
