Changing the FM Reception Mode
When an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive or noisy, press the FM MODE MUTE button on the
Remote Control (after pressing the TUNER button on the Remote Control) so that “MONO”
appears on the display. (The STEREO indicator goes off.) Reception improves, but there are no
stereo effects.
In this monaural mode, noise comes out while tuning in stations (since muting is canceled).
To restore the stereo effect, press the FM MODE MUTE button again so that “AUTO” appears on
the display.
In this stereo mode, no noise comes out while tuning in stations, and you can hear stereo sounds
when a program is broadcast in stereo (the STEREO indicator lights up).
Receiving FM Stations with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows the FM stations to send additional signals along with their regular
program signals. For example, the stations send their station names and information about what type
of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an FM station providing the RDS signals, the RDS indicator lights up and the station
name, if sent, is displayed.
One convenient RDS service is “Enhanced Other Networks (EON)” (see page 16). This allows the
unit to automatically switch to a program type of your choice when one starts in your local area.
❏ Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do all RDS stations provide the same services. If
in doubt, check with local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.
❏ RDS may not work correctly if the station you are tuned in is not transmitting the signals
properly or if the signal strength is weak.
What Information RDS Can Provide ——————————————————
The CA-MD9R can use the following RDS service.
PS (Program Service name)
Identifies each station by a name.
RT (Radio Text)
Allows the RDS station to send text messages that appear on the display.
PTY (Program Type) (see next page for a description of the PTY codes)
Identifies the type of RDS program. This allows you to locate a specific type of program being
broadcast.
EON (Enhanced Other Networks)
Provides the information about the program types sent by the other RDS stations than the one being
received.
