RDS: Radio Data System
The Arcam AVR100 supports RDS Programme Service and RDS Radio Text on FM broadcasts.
When a station carrying RDS information is selected ‘RDS’ lights up in the display and shortly afterwards the station’s RDS name (e.g. ‘BBC R3’) is shown.
Press the RDS INFO button to view any RDS text information (if a station is not transmitting text information, the display briefly indicates ‘NO TEXT’ and reverts to show the station name).
Press RDS INFO again to display the station’s frequency.
Pressing RDS INFO a third time returns you to a display of the station name.
If the RDS INFO button is pressed while tuned to a non RDS station, the display shows ‘NO NAME’ for three seconds before reverting to the default display.

Should you wish to listen to a station that is ‘auto muted’ press the FM MUTE/MONO button again to disengage the muting circuit. The tuner now switches to monoaural reception, cancelling much of the background hiss. ‘FM MUTE’ is no longer displayed and you are able to continue listening.
Radio interference
All Arcam products have been designed to very high standards of electromagnetic compatibility.
However, both CD players and DACs generate, and can radiate RF (radio frequency) energy. In some cases this can cause interference with FM and AM radio reception. If this is the case, switch the CD player off or keep the CD player and its connecting cables as far from the tuner and its aerials as possible. Connecting the CD player and the tuner/amplifier to different mains sockets can also help to reduce interference.
