Using Radio Data System

Radio Data System is a system that transmits useful information
(in the form of digital data) for FM broadcasts along with the
broadcast signal. Tuners and receivers designed for Radio Data
System reception can extract the information from the broadcast
signal for use with various functions, such as automatic display of
the station name.

Before using a function utilizing the Radio Data System, be
sure to perform the Auto Memory operation by referring to the
description in .

AUTO MEMORY function

Automatically selects and stores up to 40 Radio Data
System stations in the preset memory.
If fewer than 40 Radio Data System stations have been
stored in the preset memory, regular FM stations will be
stored in the remaining places.

PS (Program Service) Name Display

Automatically displays the station name transmitted by the
Radio Data System station.

PTY (Program TYpe) identification Search

broadcasting the specified program type (genre).

RT (Radio Text) function

Data System stations when you press [DISPLAY]. There is
"NO RT" display if no text data is transmitted.

The "RDS" indicator lights up when an Radio Data
System broadcast (signal) is received.

• Some functions and function names may differ for certain

countries and areas.

This function automatically stores up to 40 Radio Data System
stations in the preset memory. In order to use the PTY function,
