RDS and RBDS Tuning
This Rotel receiver 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 transmitting 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 program 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 stations 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.
