Changing the FM MODE P4-C

The FM MODE can be changed from the de- fault AUTO MUTING to MONO reception. In AUTO MUTING mode, a stereo signal will be heard if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal and there is sufficient signal strength. An ST in- dicator will light in the front-panel display. In mono mode, a mono signal will be heard even if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal.

NOTE: Switching to mono mode can improve the reception of weak or distant FM signals. Less signal strength is required for clean mono reception than for stereo reception.

To change the FM MODE from the front panel:

1.While tuned to an FM station, press one of the CONTROL buttons until the words FM MODE appear in the display.

2.Press one of the CONTROL buttons to toggle between AUTO MUTING and MONO modes as shown in the display.

RDS Broadcast Reception

The Rotel RSDX-02e is equipped with RDS (Ra- dio Data Systems) reception capabilities. This broadcast systems provide additional function- ality by transmitting encoded information along with the radio signal on selected FM stations. This signal is decoded by an RDS receiver and can provide a range of informational features including:

•PS (Program Service): a display of the station’s identifying name (e.g. BBC1)

•PTY (Program Type): a display of the station’s program content (e.g. NEWS, SPORT, etc.)

•RT (Radio Text): a scrolling text display for announcements or information

In addition, RDS provides several advanced search features including:

•Search for a station with the desired pro- gram content (PTY)

•Interrupt normal reception with special announcements such as TA (traffic), NEWS, or INFO from stations on the same RDS network.

NOTE: RDS services are only available on FM broadcasts. The features described below are only operational in FM mode.

The RDS are available when stations are broad- casting these data signals. When a station broadcasting an RDS signal is being received, an RDS indicator lights in the front panel dis- play. Otherwise, the RSDX-02e functions as a standard radio receiver.
