Broadcast receiver with time programming, especially an RDS car radio, has controller receiving user input selections, and tuning to desired station at switch-on time

摘要

A control device in the radio has programming facilities for allowing a user to set a switch-on time and a desired station. The receiver is preferably equipped for RDS reception so as to employ this data in station identification and program selection. A muting arrangement is preferably included to interrupt the operation of other audio equipment such as a cassette or CD player.
