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 sport, music, etc.
When tuned to an RDS station, “RDS” and the station name will be
displayed.
Whilst in the ASPM operation mode, the tuner will automatically
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.
Note:
ASPM auto scan search will auto stop after 1 cycle from 87.50 MHz
to 108.00 MHz.
To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete:
Press the RDS (ASPM/PTY) button whilst it is scanning for stations.
The stations which are already stored in memory will be kept there.
Notes:
●
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.
●
In the RDS signals are very week, station names may not be
displayed.
Note:
In a certain area or during certain time periods, the station names
may temporarily be different.
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 operate 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 frequency 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 received or when the text contents
change, “RT” will be displayed.
Select an FM station with Radio Data System signals.
