Using RDS
Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS features are available for use only
on FM stations that broadcast RDS information.
Using this system, the radio can do the following:
With RDS, your radio can do the following:
•
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of
programming
•
Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
•
Display messages from radio stations
•
Seek to stations with traffic announcements
This system relies upon receiving specific information
from these stations and will only work when the
information is available. In rare cases, a radio station
may broadcast incorrect information that will cause
the radio features to work improperly. If this happens,
contact the radio station.
While you are tuned to an RDS station, the station name
or the call letters will appear on the display, instead of the
frequency. RDS stations may also provide the time of
day, a program type (PTY) for current programming, and
the name of the program being broadcast.
Finding a PTY Station
To select and find a desired PTY perform the following:
1. Press P-TYP. The PTY symbol will be displayed
on the screen.
2. Select a category by turning the AUDIO knob.
3. Once the desired category is displayed, press either
SEEK arrow to select the category and take you to
the category’s first station.
4. If you want to go to another station within that
category and P-TYPE is displayed, press either
SEEK arrow once. If the category is not displayed,
press either SEEK arrow twice to display the
category and then to go to another station.
5. If PTY times out and is no longer on the display, go
back to Step 1.
