OVERVIEW OF THE RDS FUNCTION

AF (Alternative Frequencies) / REG (Regional):

After turning the RDS feature on, AF can be set to become “ON” or “OFF” using the AF button

on the remote control.

• AF “OFF”: When the AF switching mode is set to OFF and RDS is set to “ON”,

a maximum number of 6 RDS and non-RDS will be stored together.

• AF “ON”: When the AF switching mode is set to ON the RDS station information

will only be displayed.

• AF Segment Flashing: When the AF switching mode is selected and the RDS

information is not received yet AF segment flashing will occur.

When the AF switching mode is “ON”, the radio continually checks the AF signal strength. The

interval of checking time of each AF depends on the signal strength of current station which can

be anywhere from a few seconds for strong station to a few minutes for weak station.

Every time a new AF is stronger than a current station, the AF will it switch over to the stronger

station quickly.

To access the Region feature, press the PTY button on the remote control for 2 seconds and the

REGIONAL mode will be set to ON or OFF.

REG mode “ON”

: When the Region mode is set to ON the AF switching or PI SEEK is

implemented to the station that has all PI codes that are the same as the current station. “REG

ON” should be shown on screen.

-REG mode “OFF”

: When the Region mode is set to OFF the regional code in the format of PI

code is ignored when AF switching or PI SEEK is implemented. “REG OFF” should be shown on

screen.

When the regional mode is “OFF”, the radio may switch from a national program station to a

local variant of that program, or from a local station in an area to a local station in another area.

This may cause customers to listen to a wrong program. To avoid this feature set the Region

mode to “ON”, and then the radio will only switch to an AF that broadcasts Region mode to the

same program.
