RECEIVING RDS STATIONS

RX-496RDS and RX-396RDS only

RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced by FM stations in many countries. Stations using this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal.

RDS data contains various information, such as PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service name), PTY (Program Type), RT (Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), EON (Enhanced Other Networks), etc.

RDS function is carried out among the network stations.

* This unit utilizes PI, PS, PTY, RT, CT and EON to receive RDS broadcast stations.

This unit can be turned into the following five modes to display RDS data.

PS (Program Service name) mode:

Displays the name of the RDS station now being received instead of the frequency.

PTY (Program Type) mode:

Displays the type of the program on the RDS station now being received. There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations. Refer to the next page for details.

RT (Radio Text) mode:

Displays information about the program (such as title of the song, name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station now being received.

CT (Clock Time) mode:

Displays current time. This signal comes from the RDS station now being received.

EON (Enhanced Other Networks) mode:

Automatically receives a program of the designated program type when its broadcast starts, in place of the program now being received. When the broadcast of the called program ends, the previously received program (or another program on the same station) is recalled.
