RDS OPERATION
Now in use in many countries, RDS (Radio Data System) is a description
of the station’s programming hidden space in the FM signal.
Your new receiver is equipped with RDS to assist in the selection of FM
stations using station and network names, rather than broadcast
frequencies. Additional RDS functions include the ability to search for
programme types.
RADIO TEXT
Some RDS 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- character by the radio station. As a
result of that it may take some time until the entire text has been
completely received.
RDS DISPLAY
When a receiver is tuned to an FM station that is transmitting RDS data,
the Front Panel Information Display will automatically show the station
name or RDS TEXT in place of the typical display of the station’s
broadcast frequency.
To change the display, press the RDS button on the remote control unit.
PROGRAMME TYPE (PTY) DISPLAY
The RDS system categorizes programmes according to their genre into
different programme type (PTY) groups. To display the programme type
information of the current station, press the PTY button in the TUNER
MODE on the remote control unit.
PTY AUTO SEARCH
Your receiver is equipped to automatically search for stations transmitting
any of 29 different programme types. To search for a PTY, follow these
procedures:
1 Press the PTY button in the TUNER MODE on the remote controller.
The current station’s PTY will be displayed, or the currently selected
PTY group will be displayed in blinking if no station or RDS data is
present.
2 To change to a new PTY type, press the CH SKIP or button
until the desired PTY is shown in the display.
3 Once the desired PTY group or type has been selected, press the
PTY button while the display blink (approx. 5 seconds). The PTY
Auto search will start, and the tuner will pause at each station
broadcasting RDS PTY information corresponding to the selected
choice.
4 To advance to the next RDS station with the desired PTY, press
the PTY button again within 5 seconds.
