Receiving FM Stations with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.

With the unit, you 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.

EON (Enhanced Other Networks):

Provides the information about the types of the programs sent by other RDS stations.

More about RDS

Some FM stations do not provide RDS signals.

RDS services vary among FM RDS stations. For details on RDS services in your area, check with local radio stations.

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

Searching for Programs by PTY Codes (PTY Search)

One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes.

For details on the PTY codes, see “Additional Information” on page 27.

To search for a program using the PTY codes

REMEMBER you must preset FM RDS stations to use the PTY codes. If not yet done, see page 12.

There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.

1 Press PTY/EON until “PTY” and “SELECT” alternately appear on the display.

Each time you press the button, RDS operation mode changes as follows:
