Using the Radio Data System (RDS)
RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing
number of FM stations provide. These FM stations
send additional signals along with their regular
programme signals. They send their station names,
and information about the type of programme
such as sport, music, etc.
When tuned to an RDS station, “
RDS ” and the station
name will be displayed.
“
PTYI ” (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the
Dynamic PTY station is received.
You can control the RDS by using the buttons on
the remote control only.
Each time the DAB/RDS DISPLAY button is pressed,
the display will switch as follows:
If any of the following events occur, it does not
mean that the unit is faulty:
• “
PS ”, “ No PS ” and a station name appear alternately,
and the unit does not operate properly.
• If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or
a station is conducting tests, the RDS reception
function may not work properly.
• When you receive an RDS station whose signal is
too weak, information like the station name may not
be displayed.
• “ No PS ”, “ No PTY ” or “ No RT ” will flash for about 5
seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.
Notes for radio text:
• The first 14 characters of the radio text will appear
for 4 seconds and then they will scroll across the
display.
• If you tune in to an RDS station which is not
broadcasting any radio text, “ No RT ” will be
displayed when you switch to the radio text position.
