RDS OPERATION
Now in use in many countries, RDS (Radio Data System) is a
description of the station’s programming hidden space in the FM
signal.
Your new receiver is equipped with RDS to assist in the selection of
FM stations using station and network names, rather than broadcast
frequencies. Additional RDS functions include the ability to search
for programme types.
RADIO TEXT
Some RDS stations broadcast RADIOTEXT, which is additional
information on the station and programme being broadcast.
RADIOTEXT information appears as ‘running’ text in the display.
RADIOTEXT is transmitted character-by- character by the radio
station. As a result of that it may take some time until the entire text
has been completely received.
RDS DISPLAY
When a receiver is tuned to an FM station that is transmitting RDS
data, the Front Panel Information Display will automatically show the
station name or RDS TEXT in place of the typical display of the
station’s broadcast frequency.
To change the display, press the remote unit
Display button at
Control mode.
