Example:
When two multicast channels are broadcast by an
HD Radio station at 100.10 MHz
1. Unit receives 99.90 MHz.
↓ (Press 3 cursor.)
2. Unit receives the main channel of the HD Radio
station at 100.10 MHz.
↓ (Press 3 cursor.)
3. Unit receives multicast channel 1 at 100.10
MHz.
↓ (Press 3 cursor.)
4. Unit receives multicast channel 2 at 100.10
MHz.
↓ (Press 3 cursor.)
5. Unit receives 100.30 MHz.
(The station at 100.10 MHz does not have a
third multicast channel, so the next frequency
(100.30 MHz) is received.)
Notes:
• If digital audio data cannot be received after the
station is selected, or if the station signal is weak,
the unit may not be able to receive the multicast
channels.
• If the station signal is weak, the digital audio of
the multicast channel may cut out. In this case,
“LOADING” is displayed on the FL display.
• If the digital signal of the multicast channel cannot
be received, “OFF AIR” is displayed on the FL
display and the main channel is selected.
• Multicast channels cannot be received on AM
broadcasts.
PTY AUTO SEARCH
You can use the Program Type information search
function for some HD Radio stations. See PTY AUTO
SEARCH on p.55.
RBDS OPERATION
RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data System) is a description
of the station’s programming hidden space in the FM
signal.
Your new unit is equipped with RBDS to assist in the
selection of FM stations using station and network
names, rather than broadcast frequencies. Additional
RBDS functions include the ability to search for
programme types.
Note:
When the unit is receiving an HD Radio (digital)
signal, the HD Radio text data is displayed instead of
the RBDS data.
RADIO TEXT
Some RBDS stations broadcast RADIO TEXT,
which is additional information on the station and
programme being broadcast.
RADIO TEXT information appears as ‘running’ text
in the display. RADIO TEXT is transmitted character
by the radio station. As a result of that it may take
some time until the entire text has been completely
received.
RBDS DISPLAY
When a unit is tuned to an FM station that is
transmitting RBDS data, the Front Panel Information
Display will automatically show the call sign or RBDS
TEXT in place of the typical display of the station’s
broadcast frequency.
To change the display, press the TUNER button and
press the the < / > button until 004 is displayed.
Select the information with the DISPLAY button.

Notes:
When the unit receives the RDBS text data from a
station, the station name is displayed. If the signal
from the radio station is weak, text data may be
displayed intermittently or not all.
If the text data cannot be received, the frequency is
displayed. You can use the preset station name input
function to register the station name. The registered
station name is then displayed.
(See p.51 for information on the PRESET STATION
NAME INPUT function.)

may be displayed intermittently or not all.
• When the unit is tuned to an HD Radio station, the
artist name is displayed on the FL display. (See p.52
for information on HD Radio technology.)
When the Text 2(Program service name) is
displayed:

may be displayed intermittently or not all.
• When the unit is tuned to an HD Radio station, the
song title is displayed on the FL display.
(See p.52 for information on HD Radio technology.)
