Radio Operation - Renkforce CD-3308 Bedienungsanleitung

Radio Operation

Receiving concept RDS
The abbreviation RDS stands for Radio Data System, i.e. inaudible, additional information codes are transmitted by
the FM RDS station.
With the CD 3308 you have a CD tuner that is able to evaluate these coded data that are transmitted by most of the
radio stations.
The following important data are transmitted:
- Programme Identification (PI)
- Traffic Programme (TP)
- Traffic Announcement (TA)
- Programme Service (PS)
- Alternative frequencies (AF)
- Programme type (PTY)
- EON information (enhanced other networks)
- Clock time (CT)
Programme Identification (PI)
These data help the receiver to identify a station. It enables the radio to differentiate between areas where the same
programme is transmitted. The car radio only switches to a stronger station when the reception gets weaker, if the
stronger station transmits the same programme identification
Traffic Programme (TP)
This signal enables the receiver to detect that a station with a traffic programme is being received.
Traffic Announcement (TA)
With this signal the receiver can detect a traffic announcement and interrupt the current replay of a different audio
source.
Programme Service (PS)
This information tells the receiver which station it is receiving. It is directly replayed in the display of the car radio, e.g.
BAYERN 3.
