Receiving FM Stations with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an
additional signal along with their regular program signals.
For example, the stations send their station names, as well
as information about what type of program they broadcast,
such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned in to an FM station which provides the RDS
service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.
With the unit, you can receive the following types of RDS
signals.
PS (Program Service):
Shows commonly known station names.
PTY (Program Type):
Shows types of broadcast programs.
RT (Radio Text):
Shows text messages the station sends.
Enhanced Other Networks:
Provides the information about the types of the
programs sent by other RDS stations than the one
being received.
RDS operations are possible only using the remote
control. You can use the buttons printed in orange on the
remote control. When you select the other sources or
enter Clock/Timer modes, the buttons do not work for
RDS operations.
More about RDS
• Not all FM stations provide RDS signals, nor do all RDS
stations provide the same services. If in doubt, check with local
radio stations for details on RDS in your area.
• RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not
transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is
weak.
Changing the RDS Information
You can see RDS information on the display while
listening to an FM station.
On the remote control ONLY:
1
Press RDS CONTROL while listening to an FM
station.
2
Press RDS DISP.
• Each time you press the button, the indication at the
bottom line of the main display changes to show the
following information:
If no PS, PTY, or RT signals are sent by a station
“NO PS,” “NO PTY,” or “NO RT” appears in the main display.
If the unit takes time to show the RDS information
received from a station
“WAIT PS,” “WAIT PTY,” or “WAIT RT” may appear in the main
display.
Searching for Programs by PTY Codes
(PTY Search)
One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a
particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes.
• The PTY Search is applicable only to the preset stations.
• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the
setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 2
again.
On the remote control ONLY:
1
Press RDS CONTROL while listening to an FM
station.
