RDS Function - OPTIONAL

About RDS

This unit is equipped with RDS (Radio Data
System), which brings a wide range of informa­tion to FM radio. Now in use in many countries,
RDS is a system for transmitting station call signs
or network information, a description of station
programme type text message about the station
or specifics of musical selection and the correct
time.

RDS Tuning

When a FM station is tuned in and it contains
RDS data, the unit will automatically display the
station’s call sign and the RDS indicator will light
in the Display Window as well as indicators for
the programme type recognition (PTY), Radio
Text (RT), Clock Time (CT) and RDS services
programme (PS) if transmitted by the station.

RDS Display Options

The RDS system is capable of transmitting a
wide variety of information in addition to the initial
call sign that appears when a station is first
tuned. In normal RDS operation the display will
indicate the station name, broadcast network or
call letters. Pressing RDS on the front panel
enables you to cycle through the various data
types in the sequence:

(PS FREQUENCY PTY RT CT)

• PTY (Programme type recognition)- The name

of the programme type is shown in the Display
Window.

• RT (Radio text recognition)- The name of the

radio text is shown in the Display Window.

• CT (Time controlled by the channel)- Enables

the unit to receive the actual time and show it in
the Display Window.

• PS (Programme Service name)- The name of

the channel is shown in the Display Window.

ote

Some RDS stations may not choose to include
some of these additional features.If the data
required for the selected mode is not being
transmitted, the Display Window will show a
PTY NONE, RT NONE, CT NONE, PS NONE
message.

Programme Search (PTY)

A major benefit of RDS is its ability to encode
broadcasts with Programme Type (PTY) codes
that indicate the type of material being broadcast.
The following list shows the abbreviations used to
indicate each PTY along with an explanation of
the PTY.

You may search for a specific Programme Type
(PTY) by following these steps:

1. Press TUNER/BAND to select FM mode.

2. Select a desired station by pressing

TUNING

(+/-)

. When the RDS transmission is
received, the display shows the program
service name (PS) after RDS indicator
appears.

3. Press the RDS to select PTY mode.

4. To search for a different PTY, press the PRESET

(+/-)

while the last PTY in use is still

displayed to scroll through the list of available

PTY types.

5. When the PTY is selected, press the

(.m/M>) within 5 seconds.
The unit will go into an automatic search
mode and attempt to find the next station
with acceptable signal strength that matches
the desired PTY type.

About MP3

• An MP3 file is audio data compressed by using
the MPEG1 audio layer-3 file-coding scheme.
We call files that have the “.mp3” file extension
“MP3 files”.

• The unit can not read an MP3 file that has not
“.mp3” file extension.

MP3 Disc compatibility with this unit is limited
as follows:

1. Sampling Frequency / 8 - 48kHz

2. Bit rate / 8 - 320kbps

3. CD-R physical format should be “ISO 9660”

4. If you record MP3 files using the software

which cannot create a FILE SYSTEM, for
example “Direct-CD” etc., it is impossible to
playback MP3 files. We recommend that you
use “Easy-CD Creator”, which creates an
ISO9660 file system.

5. File names should be named using 30 letters

or less and must incorporate “.mp3” extension
e.g. “********.MP3”.

6.

Do not use special letters such as “/ : * ? “ < > ”
etc.

7. Even if the total number of files on the disc

have more than 1000, it will only be shown up
to 999.

About MULTI SESSION

- This function recognizes the multi session disc

according to a disc of CD-ROM type.

ex) If there are MP3 files in the first session, the

MP3 file in the first session is only played.
If there are only MP3 files in the whole ses­sion, all of the MP3 files in the session are
played.
If there is Audio CD in the first session, only
the Audio CD in the first session is played.
