More about RDS

•Not all FM stations provide RDS signals, nor do all RDS stations provide the same services. If in doubt, check with local radio stations for details on RDS in your area.

•RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is weak.

Changing the RDS Information

You can see RDS information on the display while listening to an FM station.

1 Press RDS CONTROL while listening to an FM station.

2 Press DISPLAY.

•Each time you press the button, the display changes to show the following information:

	PS	PTY		RT
(Program Service) (Program Type)			(Radio Text)

All information (PS/PTY/RT)

If No PS, PTY, or RT signals are sent by a station

“NO PS,” “NO PTY” or “NO RT” appears in the main display.

If the unit takes time to show the RDS information received from a station

“WAIT PS”, “WAIT PTY”, or “WAIT RT” may appear on the display.

Searching for Programs by PTY Codes (PTY Search)

One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes.

•The PTY Search is applicable only to the preset stations.

•There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1 again.

To search for a program using the PTY codes, use the remote control:

1 Press RDS CONTROL while listening to an FM station.

2 Press PTY SEARCH.

3 Press PTY SELECT +/ – to select a PTY code while “PTY SELECT” is flashing.

•Each time you press the button, the PTY codes change as follows (refer also to the list on page 23):
