■What is RDS?

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is avail- able in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can also help you ﬁnd radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.).

The AV receiver supports four types of RDS informa- tion:

PS (Program Service)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS information, the station’s name will be displayed. Press- ing the [Display] button will display the frequency for 3 seconds.

RT (Radio Text)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text information, the text will be shown on the display (see page 66).

PTY (Program Type)

This allows you to search RDS radio stations by type (see page 66).

TP (Trafﬁc Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast trafﬁc information (see page 66).

Notes:

•In some cases, the characters displayed on the AV receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be dis- played when unsupported characters are received. This is not a malfunction.

•If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be displayed intermittently or not at all.
