Receiving RDS Stations
AM/FM Tuner
Radio Data System (RDS) is a data transmission system by FM
stations in many countries.
RDS data contains various information such as PI (Program
Identification), PS (Program Service name), PTY (Program Type),
RT (Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), EON (Enhanced Other
Networks), etc. The RDS function is carried out among the network
stations.
■ Description of RDS data
This unit can receive PI, PS, PTY, RT, CT, and EON data when
receiving RDS broadcasting stations.
PS (Program Service name) mode:
The name of the RDS station being received is displayed.
PTY (Program Type) mode:
There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations.
RT (Radio Text) mode:
Information about the program (such as the title of the song,
name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station being received is
displayed.
CT (Clock Time) mode:
The current time is displayed and updated every minute. If the
data are accidentally cut off, “CT WAIT” may appear.
EON (Enhanced Other Networks):
■ Changing the RDS mode
The four modes are available in this unit for displaying RDS
data. When an RDS station is being received, PS, PTY, RT, and/
or CT that correspond to the RDS data services offered by the
station light up on the display. Press
RDS MODE repeatedly to
change the display mode among the RDS data offered by the
transmitting station in the order shown below. Illumination of the
red indicator next to the RDS mode indicator shows that the
corresponding RDS mode is now selected.
Notes:
• When an RDS station is being received, do not press RDS MODE
until one or more RDS mode indicators light up on the display. If
you press the button before the indicators light up on the display, the
mode cannot be changed. This is because the unit has not yet
received all of the RDS data on the station.
• RDS data not offered by the station cannot be selected.
• The RDS data service cannot be utilized by this unit if the received
signal is not strong enough.
• RDS data cannot sometimes be receive under poor reception
conditions. If so, press TUNING MODE so that the “AUTO”
indicator goes off from the display. Although the reception mode is
changed to monaural by this operation, when you change the display
to RDS mode, RDS data may be displayed.
• If the signal strength is weakened by external interference during the
reception of an RDS station, the RDS data service may be cut off
suddenly and “...WAIT” will appear on the display.
