Using the Radio Data System (RDS)

This receiver also allows you to use RDS (Radio Data System), which enables radio stations to send additional information along with the regular program signal. You can display RDS information.

Notes

RDS is operable only for FM stations.

Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they provide the same type of services. If you are not familiar with the RDS services in your area, check with your local radio stations for details.

Receiving RDS broadcasts

Simply select a station on the FM band using direct tuning (page 78), automatic tuning (page 77), or preset tuning (page 80).

When you tune in a station that provides RDS services, “RDS” lights up and the program service name appears on the display.

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.

Displaying RDS information

While receiving an RDS station, press DISPLAY repeatedly.

Each time you press the button, RDS information on the display changes cyclically as follows:

PS (Program Service name)a) t PTY (Program Type) indicationb) t RT (Radio Text) indicationc) t CT (Time) indication (in 24-hour system mode) t Sound field type t Volume

a)This information also appears for non-RDS FM

stations.

b)Type of program being broadcast.
