Using the Radio Data System to receive FM stations

Only the buttons on the remote control are used for Radio Data System operations.

Radio Data System allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

With the receiver, you can receive the following types of Radio Data System signals:

PS (Program Service):

Shows commonly known

 

station names.

PTY (Program Type):

Shows types of broadcast

 

programs.

RT (Radio Text):

Shows text messages the

 

station sends.

Enhanced Other Networks: See page 28.

NOTES

Radio Data System is not available for AM (MW) broadcasts.

Radio Data System may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not transmitting Radio Data System signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.

7 What information can Radio Data System signals provide?

Searching for a program by PTY codes

One of the advantages of the Radio Data System service is that you can locate a particular kind of program from the preset channels (see pages 24 and 25) by specifying the PTY codes.
