Using RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS is a system that transmits useful information (in the form
of digital data) for FM broadcasts along with the broadcast
signal. Tuners and receivers designed for RDS reception can
extract the information from the broadcast signal for use with
various functions, such as automatic display of the station
name.
RDS functions:
PTY (Program TYpe identification) Search
^
Automatically tunes to a station that is currently broad-
casting the specified program type (genre).
EON (Enhanced Other Network) reservation
^
Sets the tuner to automatically switch to stations broad-
casting one of two types of programs, even though you are
listening to another station. The tuner returns to the
original station when the broadcast of the selected pro-
gram ends.
PS (Program Service name) Display
Automatically displays the station name transmitted by
the RDS station.
RDS Auto Memory function $
Automatically selects and stores up to 30 RDS stations in
the preset memory.
If fewer than 30 RDS stations have been stored in the
preset memory, regular FM stations will be stored in the
remaining places.
Radio Text function
Displays the radio text data transmitted by some RDS
stations when you press the DISPLAY key. There is no
display if no text data was transmitted.
TI volume &
If you preset the volume level, you can listen to the
information of your choice at that volume level automati-
cally. After the information has been received, the volume
returns to the previous level.
The ”RDS“ indicator lights up when an RDS broadcast (signal)
is received.
Note:
Some functions and function names may differ for cer-
tain countries and areas.
Before using a function utilizing the RDS, be sure to
perform the RDS Auto Memory operation by referring to
the description in “Presetting RDS stations (RDS AUTO
MEMORY)”.
