Radio Data System (RDS)

Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS features are available for use only
on FM stations that broadcast RDS information.

With RDS, your radio can do the following:

Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of
programming

Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies

Display messages from radio stations

Seek to stations with traffic announcements

This system relies upon receiving specific information
from these stations and will only work when the
information is available. In rare cases, a radio station
may broadcast incorrect information that will cause
the radio features to work improperly. If this happens,
contact the radio station.

While you are tuned to an RDS station, the station
name or the call letters will appear on the display instead
of the frequency. RDS stations may also provide the
time of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming, and the name of the program being
broadcast.

Finding a Program Type (PTY) Station

To select and find a desired PTY perform the
following:

1. Turn the P-TYPE LIST knob to activate program

type select mode. TYPE and a PTY will appear
on the display.

2. Turn the P-TYPE LIST knob to select a PTY.

3. Once the desired PTY is displayed, press the SEEK

TYPE button or either SEEK arrow to take you to
the PTY’s first station.
