BASIC OPERATION

RADIO DATA SYSTEM (RDS)

RDS is a method for the transmission of additional information from local radio stations (the system only operates for radio stations broadcasting in FM). Using RDS data you can see the name of the radio station, the name of the program and/or the type of program, all shown on the multi-function display (Note: RDS only functions when the local radio station includes the RDS transmission within its signal and when the signal is strong enough).

By pressing the “DISPLAY” button on the Remote Control, you can select the following RDS functions: PS, PTY, CT and RT.

a) PS (Program Service Name)

Press “DISPLAY” on the remote until “PS” appears. The current station name will be shown (Note: “NO PS” will be shown if the signal from local radio station is not strong enough or if the local station is not transmitting RDS data).

b) PTY (Program Type)

Press ”DISPLAY” on the remote until “PTY” appears. The current name type of the program will be shown (Note: “NO PTY” will be shown if the signal from local radio station is not strong enough or if the local station is not transmitting RDS data).

c) CT (Clock - Time)

Press “DISPLAY” on the remote until “WAITING CT” appears. After a short period the current time from radio station will be shown, e.g. 15:30 (Note: The Clock - Time will be only transmitted from local radio station once a minute, so you need to wait for less than 1 minute to show the result. (Note: “NO CT” will be shown if the signal from local radio station is not strong enough or if the local station is not transmitting RDS data).

d) RT (Radiotext)

Press “DISPLAY” on the remote until “RT” appears. Some radio stations broadcast simple text messages along with the RDS data which will be shown on the display. (Note: “NO RT” will be shown if the signal from local radio station is not strong enough or if the local station is not transmitting RDS data).
