Using RDS (excluding North American and Taiwan models)

RDS works only in areas where RDS broadcasts are available.

When tuned into an RDS station, the RDS indicator lights. When the station is broadcasting text information, the text can be displayed.

What is RDS?

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.).

The AV receiver supports four types of RDS information:

PS (Program Service)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS information, the station’s name will be displayed. Pressing DISPLAY will display the frequency for 3 seconds.

RT (Radio Text)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text information, the text will be shown on the display as described in the next section.

PTY (Program Type)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type (page 22).

TP (Traffic Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast traffic information (page 22).

Note

In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be displayed when unsupported characters are received. This is not a malfunction.

If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be

displayed intermittently or not at all.
