Listening to RDS broadcasts

Displaying Radio Text (RT)

If the station you are currently tuned into is broadcasting RT
signals, they will be displayed in the front display on the TX-
DS787. If the station does not, this function will be ignored.

1. To display the radio text, press the RT/PTY/TP

button once.

• If the current station you are listening to is not an RDS station,

only the frequency of the station appear.

• If “Waiting” appears on the display, more time is required to

receive the RT information. When the information is received,
the characters will scroll across the front display.

• If “No Text Data” appears on the display, RT information is

not available.

• The display shows the frequency for 3 seconds and returns to

program service name.

Performing a PTY scan

1. Press the FM input source button.

2. Press the RT/PTY/TP button twice.

The current program type appears on the display.

3. Using the SSC dial, select the PTY program

type you desire.

4. Press the SSC dial.

The TX-DS787 will scan until it reaches a station of the
program type you selected. It will then stop briefly at that
station before continuing on until it reaches the next station.
Pressing the SSC stops the PTY scan at that point. If you press
the RT/PTY/TP while “NONE” is displayed, “PTY ?” will
appear. In this case, return to step 3.

5. Press the SSC dial when it reaches the station

that you want to listen to.

“Not Found” will appear when no RDS signal is being
received from the station.

Performing a TP scan

1. Press the FM input source button.

2. Press the RT/PTY/TP button three times.

“>TP<” will appear if the current station is broadcasting TP
signals. This station will periodically broadcast traffic
information. To find a different station, proceed to the next
step. Also, if “TP” is displayed, proceed to the next step.

3. Press the SSC dial.

The TX-DS787 will scan until it reaches a station broadcasting
traffic information. If “Not Found” appears on the display, a
TP station cannot be located.
