Receiving FM Stations with RDS
RDS 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 indicator 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.
EON (Enhanced Other Networks):
Provides the information about the types of the programs sent by other RDS stations than the one being received.
RDS operations are possible only using the remote control. You must press and hold RDS CONTROL while using the buttons printed in orange on the remote control — PTY, EON, DISPLAY, SELECT
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.
