Receiving FM RDS stations (U.K. and Europe models only)

RDS (Radio Data System) is a transmission system for FM stations used mainly in the U.K. and Europe. RDS transmissions include various types of information such as PS (Program Service), PTY (Program Type), RT (Radio Text), and CT (Clock Time). Follow the procedure below to receive FM stations by the RDS transmissions on the CinemaStation.

About information type

RDS includes the following types of information.

•PS (Program Service)

Displays the station name.

•PTY (Program Type)

Displays the program type (genre). For details, refer to the “Program Type (genre)” list (page 50).

•RT (Radio Text)

Displays text information related to the RDS broadcast. (Shows an under bar for a non-identifiable character.)

•CT (Clock Time)

Displays the current time. (Shows the message “CT WAIT” when time data cannot be received properly.)

Notes

•The available RDS information types vary depending on the station.

•If the FM RDS station’s signal transmission is too weak, the CinemaStation may not be able to receive RDS information completely. In particular, RT (Radio Text) information uses a lot of bandwidth, so it may not be available even when other modes are selectable.

•RDS information may not transmit under weak radio wave conditions. In this case, press AUTO/MAN’L on the CinemaStation to let the CinemaStation’s radio wave reception mode automatically change to the monaural mode to increase the signal quality.

•If radio wave interference occurs, the message “...WAIT” appears in the CinemaStation display. In this case, the CinemaStation cannot receive RDS information.
