Radio Data System - RDS (also referred to as RBDS)
The SC-900 radio is equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be
transmitted inaudibly together with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the SC-900
and made available for several new and unique features. The RDS or Radio Data System operates in
the FM band only, and the information transmitted is supplied by participating broadcasters. Volvo
has no control over the accuracy of the data or information. Please refer to pages 168-173 regarding
specific descriptions and operation of these functions. Volvo was among the first to pioneer this
technology throughout Europe and it is slowly making its way to North America. Coverage by local
broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the technology and benefits grow, you will find the
SC-900 radio ready to advantage of this system.
Automatic tuning
This feature may not apply in your area.
If you tune into a station using RDS, the frequency is displayed followed by the name of the station in
letters. The AF function ensures that the radio automatically tunes into the most powerful transmitter for
the selected program. Keep the FM button pressed down for at least two seconds. 'AF Switch OFF'
appears in the display for two seconds. If you want to switch on the AF function, press the FM button
for less than one second. 'AF Switch ON' then appears in the display.
'AF Switch ON'- Automatic station tracking is activated
'AF Switch OFF'- Automatic station tracking is deactivated
A- Station seek up/down
Press the left side of the station seek button to seek for lower frequencies and the right side for higher
frequencies. The radio seeks the next audible station and stops there. Press the button again to continue
searching. If the TP button is depressed, the station seek function will only seek stations which
broadcast this particular type of program. Press the button to switch off this function.
