RDS and RBDS services are only avail-
able on FM broadcasts. The features and but-
tons described below are only operational
in FM mode.
DISP Button
There are five display options when the
currently tuned station is broadcasting RDS
information and the RDS indicator in the
front-panel display is lit. Press the DISP but-
ton on the remote to step through the five
display options:
1. Standard FREQUENCY display.
2. PROGRAM SERVICE name. This is typically
the station’s call letters, such as BBC1. If
the current station is not broadcasting an
RDS signal, the display will show “NO
NAME DATA”.
3. PROGRAM TYPE. This is a description of
the station’s content from a standardized
list of program types in each market. If
the current station is not broadcasting an
RDS signal, the display will show “NO
PTY DATA”.
4. CLOCK TIME. A time and date display
broadcast by the station. If the current sta-
tion is not broadcasting an RDS signal, the
display will show “NO TIME DATA”.
5. RADIO TEXT. Additional scrolling text
messages broadcast by the station. If the
current station is broadcasting radio text
data, an RT indicator lights in the display
and the scrolling text appears. If the cur-
rent station is not broadcasting an RDS
signal, the display will show “NO TEXT
DATA”.
PTY Button
The PTY search function permits you to
scan available broadcasts for RDS stations
broadcasting a particular type of program
content.

gram type will appear in the display.

TYPE using the TUNING UP/DOWN but-
tons to scroll through the list.
3. Press the PTY button a second time within
10 seconds. The tuner will attempt to find
an RDS station broadcasting the select-
ed type of program. If the button is not
pressed within 10 seconds after selecting
a program type, the PTY function will be
cancelled.
4. If no station is located for the desired con-
tent type, the tuner will return to the last
previously tuned station.

SETUP
The RSX-03 features two types of information
displays to help operate the system. The first
consists of simple status displays that appear
on the TV screen and/or front panel display
whenever primary settings (Volume, Input,
etc.) are changed. These status displays are
self-explanatory.
A more comprehensive ON-SCREEN DIS-
PLAY (OSD) menu system is available at any
time by pressing the MENU/OSD button on
the remote. These OSD menus guide you
through the configuration and setup of the
RSX-03. In general, the settings made in the
configuration process are memorized as de-
fault settings and need not be made again
for normal operation of the unit.
The OSD menus can be configured to dis-
play several different languages. The default
English version of all the menus is shown at
the front of this manual. If your language is
available, those menus will be shown in the
following instructions. If you would like to
change from the default English language
before proceeding, go to the instructions
for the OTHER OPTIONS menu later in this
manual. From this menu, you can change the
language display.
