Receiving FM Stations with RDS

You can use the RDS (Radio Data System) by using the but- tons on the Remote Control.

RDS allows FM stations to send additional signals with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, and information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. This Unit can receive the following types of RDS signals:

PS (Program Service):

shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Program Type):

shows types of broadcast programs.

RT (Radio Text):

shows text messages the station sends.

What information can RDS signals provide?

The display shows RDS signal information that the station sends.

The RDS indicator lights up when turned to a station that provides RDS information.

To show the RDS signals on the display

On the Remote Control

Press the RDS DISPLAY button while listening to an FM station.

Each time you press the button, the display changes to show information in the following order:

Not all FM stations provide RDS signals, nor do all RDS stations provide the same services. If in doubt, check with local radio stations for details on RDS in your area.

RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is weak.

RDS is not available for AM (MW) broadcasts.
