RDS: Radio Data System
The Arcam AVR100 supports RDS Programme Service and RDS
Radio Text on FM broadcasts.
When a station carrying RDS information is selected ‘RDS’ lights
up in the display and shortly afterwards the station’s RDS name
(e.g. ‘BBC R3’) is shown.
Press the RDS INFO button to view any RDS text information (if
a station is not transmitting text information, the display briefl y
indicates ‘NO TEXT’ and reverts to show the station name).
Press RDS INFO again to display the station’s frequency.
Pressing RDS INFO a third time returns you to a display of the
station name.
If the RDS INFO button is pressed while tuned to a non RDS
station, the display shows ‘NO NAME’ for three seconds before
reverting to the default display.
Radio interference
All Arcam products have been designed to very high standards of electromagnetic compatibility.
However, both CD players and DACs generate, and can radiate RF (radio frequency) energy. In some cases this can cause
interference with FM and AM radio reception. If this is the case, switch the CD player off or keep the CD player and its connecting
cables as far from the tuner and its aerials as possible. Connecting the CD player and the tuner/amplifi er to different mains
sockets can also help to reduce interference.
EC COUNTRIES -– These products have been designed to comply with directive 89/336/EEC.
USA – These products comply with FCC requirements.
FM Mute/Mono
The AVR100’s tuner has an auto-muting circuit that, when
engaged, mutes any signal that is of insuffi cient strength for
listening. To engage this circuit press the
FM MUTE/MONO
button on the front panel: ‘FM MUTE’ is shown in the display.
If a signal is muted you will hear no sound through the
loudspeakers.
Should you wish to listen to a station that is ‘auto muted’
press the
FM MUTE/MONO button again to disengage the
muting circuit. The tuner now switches to monoaural reception,
cancelling much of the background hiss. ‘FM MUTE’ is no longer
displayed and you are able to continue listening.
