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 15)

 

• Temporarily switches to Traffic

 

Announcement—TA Standby Reception.

 

(See the right column.)

 

• Temporarily switches to your favorite

 

programme—PTY Standby Reception. (See

 

pages 17 and 40.)

 

• Tracing the same programme automatically

 

—Network-Tracking Reception (see page 17)

 

• Programme Search (see page 40)

Storing your favorite programmes

You can store six favorite programme types.

Preset programme types in the number buttons (1 to 6):

1 Select a PTY code (see page 15).2 Select the preset number (1 – 6) you want to store into.
3Repeat steps 1 and 2 to store other PTY codes into other preset numbers.

4Finish 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 40).

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.

Ex.: When “ROCK M” is selected
