RDS Reception 6DTUV

RDS (the Radio Data System) allows FM broad- casters to transmit encoded information along with the radio signal. This data signal is de- coded by an RDS-equipped receiver such as the RX-1052 and can provide a range of in- formational features including:

•A display of the station’s identifying name (e.g. BBC1).

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

•Traffic information broadcasts.

•A scrolling text display for announcements or information.

RDS broadcasting has been widely available in European markets for many years, and more recently has become widespread in the USA (where it was previously referred to as RBDS). Ask your authorized Rotel dealer for informa- tion on RDS broadcasting in your area.

There are five display options when the tuned station is broadcasting RDS data and the RDS indicator in the display is lit. Press the DISPLAY button D to step through the five available options:

1.Standard FREQUENCY display.

2.PROGRAM SERVICE name. This is typically 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 sta- tion is not broad- casting an RDS signal,the display will show “NO PTY DATA”.

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

5.RADIO TEXT. Additional scrolling text mes- sages broadcast by the station. If the sta- tion is not broadcasting an RDS signal,the display will show “NO TEXT DATA”.

5.Cancel the PTY function by pressing any button (except MONO).

The TP Button searches for an RDS sta- tion broadcasting traffic information pro- gramming:

1.Press the TP button U. The receiver will at- tempt to find an RDS station broadcasting the traffic programming.

2.If no station is located,the receiver will return to the last previously tuned station.

3.Cancel the TP function by pressing any but- ton (except MONO).

The TA Button searches for an RDS station broadcasting special traffic announcements:

NOTE: The RDS features are entirely depen- dent on the broadcaster sending encoded signals. Thus, they will only be available where RDS is currently implemented and where stations are broadcasting these data signals. If there are no RDS stations in your area, the RX-1052 will function as a stan- dard radio receiver.
