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 avail- able 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 informa- tion:

PS (Program Service)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS information, the station’s name appears. When you press the [DISPLAY] button, the frequency is displayed for three seconds.

RT (Radio Text)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting RT text information, that information is shown on the dis- play (see page 41).

PTY (Program Type)

You can also search for radio stations by type (see page 41).

TP (Traffic Program)

You can also search for TP radio stations (see page 41).

Notes:

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 dis- played 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.
