Receiving FM Stations with RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned in to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display.

With the unit, you can receive the following types of RDS signals.

PS (Program Service):

Shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Program Type):

Shows types of broadcast programs.

TEXT (Radio Text):

Shows text messages the station sends.

More about RDS

???Some FM and AM (MW) stations do not provide RDS signals.

???RDS services vary among FM RDS stations. For details on RDS services in your area, check with local radio stations.

???RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is weak.

On the remote control ONLY:

???Each time you press the button, the PTY codes change as follows:

NEWS =AFFAIRS =INFO =SPORT =

EDUCATE =DRAMA =CULTURE =

SCIENCE =VARIED =POP M =ROCK M =

EASY M =LIGHT M =CLASSICS = OTHER M =(back to the beginning)

2 Press ??or 4.

The unit searches FM stations, stops when it finds the one you have selected, and tunes in that station.

???If no program is found, the unit returns to the last received station.

To stop searching any time during the process, press

INTRO/RDS SEARCH while searching.

Changing the RDS Information

You can see RDS information on the display while listening to an FM station.

On the remote control ONLY:

???If no PS, PTY, or TEXT signals are sent by a station

???NO PS,??? ???NO PTY,??? or ???NO TEXT??? appears on the display.

???On the characters displayed

When the display shows PS, PTY or TEXT signals: ???The display shows upper case letters only.

???The display cannot show accented letters; for example, ???A??? may represent accented ???A???s??? like ?????, ??, ??, ??, ?? and ??.???

Searching for Programs by PTY Codes (PTY Search)

One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes.

???For details on the PTY codes, see below.

???There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start over from step 1.

Description of the PTY codes:

NEWS: News.
