What you can do with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM
stations to send an additional signal along
with their regular programme signals.
By receiving the RDS data, this receiver can
do the following:
•
Programme Type (PTY) Search (see page 10)
• Standby Reception of Traffic
Announcement —TA (see the following) or
your favorite programme (PTY) (see pages
12 and 18)
•
Tracing the same programme automatically
—Network-Tracking Reception (see page 12)
• Programme Search (see page 18)
Storing your favorite programmes
You can store six favorite programme types.
Preset programme types in the number buttons
(1 – 6):
1 Perform steps ~ and Ÿ on page 10 to
select a PTY code.
2 Select the preset number (1 – 6) you
want to store into.
Ex.: When “ROCK M” is selected
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 to store
other PTY codes into other preset
numbers.
4 Finish the procedure.
Using the standby receptions

TA Standby Reception

TA Standby Reception allows the receiver to
switch temporarily to Traffic Announcement
(TA) from any source other than AM.
The volume changes to the preset TA volume
level (see page 18).
To activate TA Standby Reception
The TP indicator either
lights up or flashes.
• If the TP indicator lights up, TA Standby
Reception is activated.
• If the TP indicator flashes, TA Standby
Reception is not yet activated. (This occurs
when you are listening to an FM station
without the RDS signals required for TA
Standby Reception.)
To activate TA Standby Reception, tune in to
another station providing these signals. The
TP indicator will stop flashing and remain lit.
To deactivate the TA Standby Reception
The TP indicator goes off.
