Receiving FM Stations with
RDS

(Using the Remote Control)
Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to Receive FM Sta­tions

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

PS (Programme Service):

shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Programme Type):

shows types of broadcast programmes.

RT (Radio Text):

shows text messages the station sends.

TA (Traffic Announcement):

shows traffic announcements being broadcast.

What information can RDS signals provide?

The display shows RDS signal information that the station sends.

To show the RDS signals on the display:

Press the DISPLAY MODE button while listening to an FM station.
Each time you press the button, the display changes to show infor­mation in the following order:

When the display shows PS, PTY or RT signals:

• The display shows upper case letters only.

• 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 programme by PTY codes

One of the advantages of the RDS service is that you can locate a
particular kind of programme by specifying the PTY codes.

To search for a programme using PTY or TA codes:

• The EON indicator lights up when tuned to a station which pro­vides EON information.

Case 1: If there is no station broadcasting the type of pro-

gramme you have selected

The broadcast station being currently heard will continue to be
heard.

«

When a station starts broadcasting the programme you have select­ed, this unit automatically switches to the station. The programme
type (TA, NEWS or INFO) indicator starts blinking.

Notes:

• If the EON is in standby mode and the function (CD, TAPE,
AUX) switch is changed or the power is switched off, then the
EON mode will be released. When the band is set to AM (MW/
LW), the EON is not activated. When the band is set to FM
again, the EON will be set to standby mode.

• When the EON is being operated (i.e. the selected programme
type is being received from the broadcast station) and if the

a different programme than the intended one may be recorded.
When the EON mode is not required, release the EON mode.

• When the alarm signal is detected by EON, the station broad­casting the alarm is received with priority. “ALARM” is not

For simplicity, we show here only the items described in this section.

Recording onto a tape from any of the sound sources is simple. Just
place a tape in the Cassette Deck, have the source ready, make one
or two settings, and you're ready to record. For each source the pro­cedure is a little bit different so we explain each separately. But first,
here are a few things to make your recordings better.

Things To Know Before You Start
Recording —————————————

■

It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted
material without the consent of the copyright owner.

When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, you can set

■

Reverse mode to do so. Recording automatically stops after re­cording in the
rection is
The recording level, which is the volume at which the new tape

■

is being made, is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected
by the VOLUME control on the System. Nor is it affected by
adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during recording you can ad­just the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the
recording level.
Two small tabs on the back of the cassette tape, one for side A

■

and one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental erasure
or recording.

To record on a cassette with the tabs removed, you must cover

■

the holes with adhesive tape first. However, when a type II tape
is used, only cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part
of the hole is used to detect the tape type.
Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording.

At the start and end of cassette tapes, there is leader tape

Note:

which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when recording CDs or radio
broadcasts, wind on the leader tape first to ensure getting the begin­ning of the recording.

CAUTION: If a recording you make has excessive
noise or static, the Unit may have been too close
to a TV which was on during the recording. Either
turn off the TV or increase the distance between
the TV and the System.

Standard Recording

You can record any sound source to tape as follows:

1. Insert a blank or erasable tape into the

■

Cassette Deck and wind past the tape
leader.

2. Press the REVERSE MODE button on the

■

Remote Control if you want to record on
both sides of the tape.

Press the button until the indicator is lit.

• When using Reverse mode, insert the tape so that it will be
recorded in the forwards

or on shelves.

• Keep the Cassette Deck's tape holder and the CD holder closed
when not in use.
