Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to

Receive FM Stations

RDS 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 receiver, 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 Network): See page 27.

Notes:

•RDS is not available for AM (MW/LW) broadcasts.

•RDS may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not transmitting RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.

What information can RDS signals provide?

You can see the RDS signals the station sends on the display.

To show the RDS signals

About characters shown on the display

When the display shows PS, PTY, or RT signals, the following characters are used.

•The display cannot show accented letters, “A,” for instance, may stand for accented “A’s” like “Å, Ä, Ã, Á, À, and Â.”

Notes:

•When pressing DISPLAY MODE on the remote control, make sure that you have selected FM station using the remote control. If not, the DISPLAY MODE button does not work for tuner operation.

(Pressing FM/AM activates the remote control for tuner operation.)

•If searching finishes at once, “PS,” “PTY,” and “RT” will not appear on the display.

You can also show the RDS information on the TV screen.

To use this function, you need to connect the TV to the MONITOR OUT jack on the rear panel (see page 7), and set the TV’s input mode to the proper position to which the receiver is connected.

•When the TV’s input mode is incorrect; for example, a different video input or TV tuner mode is selected, you cannot show the RDS information on the TV screen.

Searching for a Program by PTY Codes

One of the advantages of the RDS service is that you can locate a particular kind of program from the preset channels (see page 23) by specifying the PTY codes.

To search for a program using the PTY codes

Before you start, remember...

•The PTY Search is only applicable to preset stations.

•To stop searching any time during the process, press PTY SEARCH while searching.

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

•When pressing the buttons on the remote control, make sure that you have selected the FM station using the remote control. If not, the RDS operation buttons do not work for RDS operation.

(Pressing FM/AM activates the remote control for RDS operation.)
