Using RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS is a system that transmits useful information (in the form of digital data) for FM broadcasts along with the broadcast signal. Tuners and receivers designed for RDS reception can extract the information from the broadcast signal for use with various functions, such as automatic display of the station name.
RDS functions:
PTY (Program Type Identification) Search)
Automatically tunes to a station that is currently broadcasting the specified program type (genre).
EON (Enhanced Other Network) reservation | ¡ |
Sets the tuner to automatically switch to stations broadcasting one of two types of programs, even though you are listening to another station. The tuner returns to the original station when the broadcast of the selected program ends.
PS (Program Service Name) Display
Automatically displays the station name transmitted by the RDS station.
RDS Auto Memory function(
Automatically selects and stores up to 30 RDS stations in the preset memory.
If fewer than 30 RDS stations have been stored in the preset memory, regular FM stations will be stored in the remaining places.
Radio text function
Displays the radio text data transmitted by some RDS stations when you press the DISPLAY key. There is no display if no text data was transmitted.
The "RDS" indicator lights up when an RDS broadcast (signal) is received.
