Sharp XL-UH12H operation manual Using the Radio Data System RDS, To recall stations in memory

Using the Radio Data System (RDS) (continued)

2When an RDS station is found, “RDS” will appear for a short time and the station will be stored in memory.

3After scanning, the number of stations stored in memory will be displayed for 4 seconds, and then “END” will appear for 4 seconds.

To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete: Press the RDS (ASPM) button whilst it is scanning for stations. The stations which are already stored in memory will be kept there.

Notes:

●Any station which has the same frequency as the one stored in memory will not be stored.

●If 40 stations have already been stored in memory, the scan will be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM operation, erase the preset memory.

●If no station have been stored in memory, “00 MEM” and “END” will appear for about 4 seconds.

●If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be stored in memory.

●The same station name can be stored in different channels.

●In a certain area or during certain time periods, the station names may temporarily be different.

●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 be displayed for about few seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.

●The first 8 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.

●Whilst radio text data is received or when the text contents change, “RT” will be displayed.

●If no programme is found in the all preset stations, “NO PTY” appear on the display and returns to the previous station.

Notes:
