Using the Radio Data System (RDS)

RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations provide. These FM stations send additional signals along with their regular programme signals. They send their station names, and information about the type of programme such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned to an RDS station, "RDS" and the station name will be displayed. "TP" (Traffic Programme) will appear on th e display when the received broadcast carries traffic information, and "TA" (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic information is on air. "PTYI" (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the Dynamic PTY station is received. "RT" (Radio Text) will appear whilst the unit receives the Radio text data.

You can control the RDS by using the remote control only.

Information provided by RDS

Each time the RDS DISPLAY button is pressed, the display will switch as follows:

When you are tuning in to a station other than an RDS station or to an RDS station which sends weak signal, the display will change in the following order:

Station name (PS) Programme type (PTY)

Frequency Radio text (RT)

NO PS NO PTY

Notes for RDS operation

NO RT

If any of the following events occur, it does not mean that the unit is faulty:

"PS", "NO PS" and a station name appear alternately, and the unit does not oper-

ate properly. If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a station is conducting tests,

the RDS reception function may not work properly. When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too weak, information like the

station name may not be displayed. "NO PS", "NO PTY" or "NO RT" will flash for about 5 seconds, and then the fre-

quency will be displayed.

Notes for radio text:

" The first 8 characters of the radio text will appear for 4 seconds and then they will

scroll across the display.

" If you tune in to an RDS station which is not broadcasting any radio text, "NO RT"

will be displayed when you switch to the radio text position.

" Whilst radio text data is rec eived or when the text contents change, "RT" will be

displayed.

Whilst in the ASPM operation mode, the tuner will automatical l y search for new RDS stations. Up to 40 stations can be stored. If you have already stored some stations in memory, the number of new stations you can store will be less.

To enter tuner function, display "FM" or "AM" by pressing the

4 seconds, and then "END" will appear for 4 seconds.

To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete:

Press the ASPM button whilst it is scanning for stations. The stations which are already stored in memory will be kept there.

Notes:

If the same station is broadcasting on different frequencies, the strongest fre-

quency will be stored in memory. Any station which has the same frequency as one stored in memory will not be

stored. If 40 stations have already been stored in memory, the scan will be aborted. If you

want to redo the ASPM operation, erase the preset memory. If no stations have been stored in memory, "END" will appear for about 4 seconds.

If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be stored in memory.

To erase all of the contents of preset memory:

1 Hold the CLEAR button down for 3 seconds or more. 2 Whilst "CLEAR" is displayed, press the ENTER button.

After performing this operation, all of the preset memory information will be erased.

To store a station name again if the wrong name was stored in memory:

It may be impossible to store stat ion names in memory using the ASPM fu nction if there is lots of noise or if the signal is too weak. In this case, perform as follows.

1 Press the TUNER PRESET ( or ) button to check whether the names are cor-

rect.

2 If you find a wrong name whilst receiving the station, wait until the correct name will

be displayed. And then press the ENTER button.

3 Within 5 seconds, press the TUNER PRESET ( or ) button to display the preset

channel to be corrected again.

4 Within 5 seconds, press the ENTER button.

The new station name has been stored in memory correctly.

Notes:

The same station name can be stored in different channels.

In a certain area or during certain time periods, the station names may temporarily

be different.
