Signature 2.0

Auto: When Auto is selected, the ID and PTY portions of the RDS datastream will be displayed in the front panel Information Display (Figure FPD-14) shortly after an FM station transmitting RDS is tuned. This is the factory default condition and it is recommended to enable you to make maximum use of the RDS system.

Manual: When Manual is displayed, the tuner will not display RDS data-fields unless the RDS

button is pressed. When Manual is displayed, you may also enter data fields for FM stations that will display a section name or ID and attach an RDS PTY search code, even when the station does not actually transmit RDS data.

If you select the Auto mode, press the Û Menu Control button i and the highlighted video line will skip over the ID and Type lines, as they may not be changed in the Automatic mode. If RDS data is present, however, the data transmitted by the station will be displayed. You will now be at the Type Search > line, where you may conduct an RDS search as described on page 49. To make a search, press the Ý Menu Control button i to initiate the search process. If no search is required, and all adjustments have been made, press the Menu button j twice to exit from the menu system and return to normal operation.

Station Naming and Personal Preferences

A unique feature of the 2.0 is the ability to not only create names for FM stations, but to assign an RDS program type (PTY) to them, even if the station is not transmitting RDS data. To program that type of entry, first make certain that the RDS line on the Tuner Menu has been been set to Manual, as described above. After the setting is made, press the Û Menu Control button i so that the ID line is highlighted.

At the ID line, press the Ý Menu Control button i and note that a series of underline dashes will appear (Figure OSD-36). Next press the Úor Û Menu Control buttons i and note that a full set of upper and lower case alphanumeric characters will appear. Press the buttons until the first letter or character of the label or name you wish to give this station appears.

After reaching the desired character, press the

ÝMenu Control button i to move to the next position. Repeat the procedure, pressing the Úor Û Menu Control buttons i to bring the next desired letter into view. Repeat the procedure for each space until you have the entire name or identification label. When you are finished, press the Menu button j and any spaces to the right of the label that are not used will disappear. The dashes are only there to guide you during character entry and will not remain once the Menu button is pressed.

While the ID line is highlighted, press the Û Menu Control button iso that the Type line is high- lighted. At this time, use the Ü or Ý Menu Control buttons i to scroll through the list of RDS Program Types as detailed in Appendix C on page 63. You may assign any name on the list, regardless of the type of programming the station broadcasts. Unlike RDS codes, which are set by the station, this is totally under your control.

Note that there are three codes available for assignment that are not part of the official RDS types. Shown in the list as PERSONL1, PERSONL2 and PERSONL3, these are your own “personal” program types, and you may assign them as you wish. Using these special per- sonal codes lets a member of the family assign their own PTY tag to a favorite station, and then quickly search it out by choosing their “PERSONL” program type in an RDS search.
