SCAN Button

This button activates a preset scanning fea- ture. When you press the button, the tuner begins scanning through all memorized sta- tion presets, playing each for 5 seconds be- fore moving to the next. To stop the station scanning when the desired station preset is reached, press the button again.

NOTE: If a PRESET station is currently tuned when the PRESET SCAN button is pressed, scanning will start with the next higher pre- set number and continue through all presets, stopping on the initial preset. If a PRESET sta- tion is not currently tuned when the button is pressed, scanning will start from PRESET 1 and continue to PRESET 30.

RDS and RBDS Tuning

The Rotel RSX-1057 is equipped with RDS (Radio Data Systems) reception capabilities for Europe and RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data Service) capabilities for the United States. These broadcast systems provide additional functionality to FM radio reception by trans- mitting encoded information along with the radio signal. This signal is decoded by an RDS or RBDS receiver and can provide a range of informational features including:

1.a display of the station’s identifying name (e.g. BBC1)

2.a display of the station’s program content (e.g. ROCK or NEWS)

3.traffic information broadcasts

4.a scrolling text display for announcements or information

In addition, RDS provides several advanced search features including:

1.Search for a station with the desired pro- gram content (PTY)

2.Search for traffic information (TP)

3.Search for stations broadcasting special traffic announcements (TA).

RDS broadcasting has been widely available in many European markets for years. There are a large number of RDS stations and most users will be familiar with the features and operation. In the USA, implementation of the RBDS system is more recent. Fewer sta- tions are broadcasting RBDS signals and the

features may be less familiar to many users. Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for more information on RDS or RBDS broadcasting in your area.

NOTE: The RDS and RBDS features are en- tirely dependent on the broadcaster send- ing encoded signals. Thus, they will only be available in markets where RDS or RBDS is implemented and where stations are broad- casting these data signals. If there are no RDS or RBDS stations, the RSX-1057 will function as a standard radio receiver.

NOTE: RDS and RBDS services are only avail- able on FM broadcasts. The features and but- tons described below are only operational in FM mode.

DISP Button

There are five display options when the cur- rently tuned station is broadcasting RDS in- formation and the RDS indicator in the front- panel display is lit. Press the DISP button on the remote to step through the five display options:

1.Standard FREQUENCY display.

2.PROGRAM SERVICE name. This is typical- ly the station’s call letters, such as BBC1. If the current station is not broadcasting an RDS signal, the display will show “NO NAME DATA”.

3.PROGRAM TYPE. This is a description of the station’s content from a standardized list of program types in each market. If the current station is not broadcasting an RDS signal, the display will show “NO PTY DATA”.

4.CLOCK TIME. A time and date display broadcast by the station. If the current sta- tion is not broadcasting an RDS signal, the display will show “NO TIME DATA”.

5.RADIO TEXT. Additional scrolling text messages broadcast by the station. If the current station is broadcasting radio text data, an RT indicator lights in the display and the scrolling text appears. If the cur- rent station is not broadcasting an RDS signal, the display will show “NO TEXT DATA”.
