Receiving FM Stations with RDS

RDS (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.

When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indication lights on the display.

With the unit, you can receive the following types of RDS 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:

Provides the information about the types of the programs sent by other RDS stations.

More about RDS

•Some FM stations do not provide RDS signals.

•RDS services vary among FM RDS stations. For details on RDS services in your area, check with local radio stations.

•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.

On the remote control ONLY:

1 Press and hold RDS CONTROL until you finish the following procedure.

2 Press DISPLAY (on number buttons.)

•Each time you press the button, the display changes as follows:

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

Station frequency (and Preset number)

3 Release your finger from RDS CONTROL.

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

“NO PS,” “NO PTY,” or “NO RT” appears on the 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.

•For details on the PTY codes, see “Description of the PTY codes” on page 19.

To search for a program using the PTY codes

•You need to preset FM RDS stations (if not yet done, see page 15), and listen to the FM station.

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