Receiving FM Stations with Radio Data System

Radio Data System allows FM stations to send additional signals with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, and information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. This unit can receive the following types of Radio Data System signals:

PS (Program Service):

shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Program Type):

shows types of broadcast program.

RT (Radio Text):

shows text messages the station sends.

To adjust the sound input level

from other equipment

You can adjust the sound input level from the connected equipment, if the incoming signal is too small or too large.

Select AUX for the source.

To show Radio Data System

signals on the display

Select an FM station with Radio Data System signals. If a station contains the signals, “PS” and “R” appear on the display.

PTYPS RT

Station Frequency

PS (Program Service):

The station name appears. “NO PS” appears if no signal is sent.

PTY (Program Type):

The broadcast program type appears. “NO PTY” appears if no signal is sent.

RT (Radio Text):

The text message sent by the station appears. “NO RT” appears if no signal is sent.

Station Frequency:

The frequency of the selected station appears on the display.

memo

• If searching ﬁ nishes at once, “PS”, “PTY” and

“RT” will not appear on the display.

• If you press DISPLAY MODE while listening to

an AM (MW) station, the display only shows station frequency.

On characters displayed



When the display shows PS, PTY or RT text, the display cannot show accented letters; For example, “A” may represent accented “A’s ” like “Á, Â, Ã, À, Ä and Å”.

To search for a program by the PTY codes

One of the advantages of the Radio Data System service is that you can locate a particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes.

To search for a program using PTY codes:



While listening to an FM station, activate

PTY search.

Select a desired PTY code while “SE-

LECT PTY” is blinking.

Each time you press the button, the display shows a PTY category in the following order:

NEWS Q AFFAIRS Q INFO Q SPORT Q EDUCATE

Q DRAMA Q CULTURE Q SCIENCE Q VARIED Q POP M Q ROCK M Q EASY M Q LIGHT M Q CLASSICS Q OTHER M Q WEATHER Q FINANCE Q CHILDREN Q SOCIAL Q RELIGION Q PHONE

IN Q TRAVEL Q LEISURE Q JAZZ Q COUNTRY Q NATION M Q OLDIES Q FOLK M Q DOCUMENT Q TEST Q ALARM Q NONE Q NEWS

Start searching while the selected PTY

code is blinking.

While searching, “SELECT PTY” and the selected PTY code (ex. NEWS) alternately appear on the display. The receiver searches 30 preset FM stations, stops when it ﬁ nds the one you have selected, and tunes in to that station.

•

If no program is found, “NOT FOUND” appears on the display.

•

To stop searching any time during search, press PTY SEARCH.

To continue searching after it stops on an unwanted station

While the indications on the display are ﬂ ashing, press PTY SEARCH again.

To temporarily switch to a broadcast program

of your choice (Enhanced Other Networks)

Another convenient feature of Radio Data System is to switch automatically from the current station to the type of program you have selected (TA, NEWS or INFO). When the program is ﬁ nished, the unit automatically returns to the previous station. This function is called the Enhanced Other Networks.

• The Enhanced Other Networks function is only

applicable to the preset stations. See page 10.

• If an FM station does not broadcast Enhanced

Other Networks information, the Enhanced Other Networks function cannot be activated.

To select a program type



While listening to an FM station, activate the Enhanced Other Networks function.

NEWSTA INFO

OFF (Frequency)

TA: Trafﬁ c Announcement NEWS: News INFO: Programs on medical service,

weather forecast, etc.

OFF (Frequency): Radio Data System mode off

• The Radio Data System indicator on the

display (TA, News or Info) turns on and the unit enters the Enhanced Other Networks standby mode.

How Enhanced Other Networks works



If no station is broadcasting the type of program you have selected:

• The unit continues to receive the current

station.

• When the selected type of program starts

on a different station, the unit automatically switches to the station and the indicator on the display starts blinking.

• When the program is ﬁ nished, the unit returns

to the previous station and the indicator on the display turns on (standby mode).

If there is a station broadcasting the type of program you have selected:

• The unit switches to the station and the

indicator on the display starts blinking.

• When the program is ﬁ nished, the unit returns

to the previous station and the indicator on the display turns on (standby mode).

To cancel Enhanced Other Networks



Press TA/News/Info to select “OFF (Frequency)”.

memo

• The Enhanced Other Networks standby

mode remains activated if you change the source to CD, USB MEMORY or USB/AUX. If you select AM for the source, the Enhanced Other Networks standby mode is disabled temporarily.

• While listening to a program tuned in with

Enhanced Other Networks function, the program frequency is locked. If you try to change its frequency, “LOCK” appears on the display.

Additional Information

Learning More about This System

Daily Operations—Playback (see pages 9 to 19)

Listening to the Radio:

• If you store a new station into an occupied

preset number, the previously stored station in that number will be erased.

• When you unplug the AC power cord or if a

power failure occurs, the preset stations will be erased in a few days. If this happens, preset the stations again.

Playing Back a Disc/USB mass storage class device:

• This System cannot play “packet write” discs.

• For MP3/WMA playback...

– MP3/WMA discs are required a longer

readout time than regular CDs. (It depends on the complexity of the group/ﬁ le conﬁ guration.)

– Some MP3/WMA ﬁ les cannot be played back

and will be skipped.

This result from their recording processes

and conditions.

– When making MP3/WMA discs, use ISO

9660 Level 1 for the disc format.

– This System can play back MP3/WMA ﬁ les

with the extension code <.mp3> or <.wma> (regardless of the letter case—upper/lower).

– Some characters or symbols will not be

shown correctly on the display.

The maximum character number shown

on the display is 32 (without the extension code) for ﬁ les, and 30 for ID3 tag.

– It is recommended that you make each MP3

ﬁ le at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at a bit rate of 128 kbps. Similarly each WMA ﬁ le at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and at a bit rate of 96 kbps.

– This System can recognize the total of

999 tracks and of 500 groups. Those exceeding the maximum number cannot be recognized.

– Playback order of MP3/WMA tracks may be

different from the one you have intended while recording. If a folder does not include MP3/WMA tracks, they are ignored.
