Using the Radio Data System (RDS)
RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations provide. These FM stations send additional signals along with their regular programme signals. They send their station names, and information about the type of programme such as sport, music, etc.
When tuned to an RDS station, “RDS” and the station name will be displayed.
“PTYI” (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the Dynamic PTY station is received.
You can control the RDS by using the buttons on the remote control only.
■Information provided by RDS
Each time the RDS DISPLAY button is pressed, the display will switch as follows:
Station name (PS) | Programme type (PTY) |
Frequency | Radio text (RT) |
When tuning in to a station other than an RDS station or to an RDS station which sends weak signal, the display will change in the following order:
NO PS 
NO PTY
FM 98.80 MHz 
NO RT
■Using the Auto Station Programme Memory (ASPM)
Whilst in the ASPM operation mode, the tuner will automatically search for new RDS stations. Up to 40 stations can be stored.
If you have already stored some stations in memory, the number of new stations you can store will be less.
1 Press the FUNCTION button repeatedly to select TUNER function.
2Press and hold down the RDS (ASPM) button on the remote control for at least 3 seconds.
1 After “ASPM” has flashed for about 4 seconds, scanning will start (87.50 - 108.00 MHz).
