RDS

Introduction of RDS operation

123

RDS (radio data system) is a system for providing information along with FM broadcasts. This inaudible information provides such features as program service name, program type, traffic announcement standby and automatic tuning, intended to aid radio listeners in finding and tuning in to a desired station.

1 Program service name

Shows the name of broadcast program.

2 NEWS indicator

Shows when the set news program is received.

3 TP indicator

Shows when a TP station is tuned in.

% Press FUNCTION to display the function names.

# To return to the frequency display, press BAND. # If MW/LW band is selected, you can only select BSM or LOCAL.

Notes

! If you do not operate the function within about

30 seconds, the display is automatically returned to the frequency display.

! RDS service may not be provided by all sta-

tions.

! RDS functions like AF and TA are only active

when your radio is tuned to a RDS station.

Switching the RDS display

When you tune in a RDS station its program service name is displayed. If you want to know the frequency you can.

% Press DISPLAY.

Press DISPLAY repeatedly to switch between the following settings: Program service namePTY information FrequencyDAB information PTY (program type ID code) information is listed on page 19.

# PTY information, the frequency of the current station and DAB information appears on the display for eight seconds. # If a PTY code of zero is received from a station or the signal is too weak for this unit to pick up the PTY code, you cannot switch to PTY infomation display. In this case, if you have selected the PTY information display, the display will be changed blank. # You can only switch to DAB information when a DAB tuner (GEX-P700DAB) is connected.

Selecting alternative frequencies

If you are listening to a broadcast and the reception becomes weak or there are other problems, the unit will automatically search for a

RDS

Section

different station in the same network which is broadcasting a stronger signal. ! AF is on as a default.

1 Press FUNCTION to select AF.

Press FUNCTION until AF appears in the display.

2 Press ROTARY ENCODER to turn AF on or off.

Press ROTARY ENCODER repeatedly to turn between the following settings: AF :ON (on)AF :OFF (off)

Notes

! Only RDS stations are tuned in during seek

tuning or BSM when AF is on.

! When you recall a preset station, the tuner

may update the preset station with a new frequency from the stations AF list. (This is only available when using presets on the FM1 or FM2 bands.) No preset number appears on the display if the RDS data for the station received differs from that for the originally stored station.

! Sound may be temporarily interrupted by an-

other program during a AF frequency search.

! AF can be turned on or off independently for

each FM band.

Using PI Seek

If the unit fails to find a suitable alternative frequency, or if you are listening to a broadcast and the reception becomes weak, the unit will automatically search for a different station with the same programming. During the search, PI SEEK is displayed and the output is muted. The muting is discontinued after completion of the PI Seek, whether or not a different station is found.

Using Auto PI Seek for preset stations

When preset stations cannot be recalled, as when travelling long distances, the unit can be set to perform PI Seek during preset recall. ! The default setting for Auto PI Seek is off.

See Switching Auto PI Seek on page 43.

Limiting stations to regional programming

When AF is used to automatically retune frequencies, the regional function limits the selection to stations broadcasting regional programs.

1 Press FUNCTION to select REGION.

Press FUNCTION until REGION appears in the display.

2 Press ROTARY ENCODER to turn the regional function on or off.

Press ROTARY ENCODER repeatedly to turn between the following settings: REGION :ON (on)REGION :OFF (off)

Notes

! Regional programming and regional networks

are organized differently depending on the country (i.e., they may change according to the hour, state or broadcast area).

! The preset number may disappear on the dis-

play if the tuner tunes in a regional station which differs from the originally set station.

! The regional function can be turned on or off

independently for each FM band.

RDS

Receiving traffic announcements

TA (traffic announcement standby) lets you receive traffic announcements automatically, no matter what source you are listening to. TA can be activated for both a TP station (a station that broadcasts traffic information) or an enhanced other networks TP station (a station carrying information which cross-references TP stations).

1 Tune in a TP or enhanced other networks TP station.

When you are tuned into a TP or enhanced other networks TP station the TP indicator will light.

2 Press TA to turn traffic announcement standby on.

Press TA and TA ON appears in the display. The tuner will standby for traffic announcements.

# To turn traffic announcements standby off, press TA again.

3 Use VOLUME to adjust the TA volume when a traffic announcement begins.

Rotate to increase or decrease the volume. The newly set volume is stored in memory and recalled for subsequent traffic announcements.

4 Press TA while a traffic announcement is being received to cancel the announcement.

The tuner returns to the original source but remains in the standby mode until TA is pressed again.

# You can also cancel the announcement by pressing SOURCE, BAND or ROTARY ENCODER while a traffic announcement is being received.

Notes

! You can also turn on or off TA function in the

menu that appears with the pressing of FUNCTION.

! The system switches back to the original

source following traffic announcement reception.

! Only TP and enhanced other networks TP sta-

tions are tuned in during seek tuning or BSM when TA is on.

Using PTY functions

You can tune in a station by using PTY information.

Searching for an RDS station by PTY information

You can search for general types of broadcasting programs, such as those listed on page

19.

1 Press FUNCTION to select program type selection (PTY).

RDS

Section

# To cancel the search, press

ROTARY ENCODER again.

Notes

! The program of some stations may differ from

that indicated by the transmitted PTY.

! If no station is broadcasting the type of pro-

gram you searched for, NOT FOUND is displayed for about two seconds and then the tuner returns to the original station.

Using news program interruption

When a news program is broadcast from a PTY code news station the unit can switch from any station to the news broadcast station. When the news program ends, reception of the previous program resumes.

% Press TA and hold to turn on news program interruption.

Press TA until NEWS ON appears in the display.

# To turn off news program interruption, press TA and hold until NEWS OFF appears in the dis- play. # A news program can be cancelled by pressing TA. # You can also cancel the news program by pressing SOURCE, BAND or ROTARY ENCODER while a news program is being received.

Note

You can also turn on or off news program in the menu that appears with the pressing of FUNCTION.

Receiving PTY alarm broadcasts

PTY alarm is a special PTY code for announcements regarding emergencies such as natural disasters. When the tuner receives the radio

alarm code, ALARM appears on the display and the volume adjusts to the TA volume. When the station stops broadcasting the emergency announcement, the system returns to the previous source. ! An emergency announcement can be can-

celled by pressing TA.

! You can also cancel an emergency an-

nouncement by pressing SOURCE, BAND or ROTARY ENCODER.

Using radio text

This tuner can display radio text data transmitted by RDS stations, such as station information, the name of the currently broadcast song and the name of the artist. ! The tuner automatically memorizes the

three latest radio text broadcasts received, replacing text from the least recent reception with new text when it is received.

Displaying radio text

You can display the currently received radio text and the three most recent radio text.

1 Press DISPLAY and hold to display radio text.

Radio text for the currently broadcasting station is displayed.

# You can cancel radio text display by pressing BAND. # When no radio text is received, NO TEXT is displayed.
