RDS Operation

The JBL DSC100DVD is equipped with RDS (Radio Data System), which brings a wide range of information to FM radio. Now in use in many countries, RDS is a system for transmitting e.g. station call signs or network information and a description of station program type (PTY).

As more FM stations become equipped with RDS capabilities, the JBL DSC100DVD will serve as an easy- to-use center for both information and entertainment. This section will help you take maximum advantage of the RDS system.

RDS Tuning

When an FM station is tuned in and it contains RDS data, the red RDS Indicator will illuminate and the JBL DSC100DVD will automatically display the station’s call sign, e.g. "ANTENNE1" in the front panel display (up to 8 characters are possible). With some private stations, other information may alternate with the station´s call sign.

RDS Display Options

In normal RDS operation, the display will indicate the station name, broad- cast network or call letters. Pressing the DISPLAY button enables you to cycle through the following sequence:

•The station’s call letters (with some private stations other information, too).

•The Program Type (PTY) as shown in the list below.

•The station’s frequency.

Some RDS stations may not include the PTY feature. In this case, the PTY indicator in the display will not light and, if selected by the DISPLAY button, "NO PTY" will appear in the front display.

In any FM mode, the RDS function

requires a strong enough signal for proper operation. If you receive a partial message, or the RDS Indicator goes on and off, try slowly adjusting the antenna or tune to another stronger RDS station.
