RDS Operation
Your AVR41 is equipped with RDS (Radio
Data System), which brings a wide range
of information to FM radio. Now in use
in many countries, RDS is a system for
transmitting station call signs or network
information, a description of station
programme type, text messages about the
station or specifics of a musical selection
and the correct time.
As more FM stations become equipped
with RDS capabilities, the AVR41 will
serve as an easy-to-use centre for both
information and entertainment. This
section will help you take maximum
advantage of the RDS system.
RDS Tuning
When an FM station is tuned in and it
contains RDS data, the AVR41 will
automatically display the station's call
sign (with some private stations other
text between too). To tune only stations
broadcasting RDS data, press the
Tuning Mode
button
˘

indicator illuminates in the front panel
display or the
RDS Seek
button

RDS ONLY
for
10 seconds. Press the
Tuning
buttons
Ú

the remote, the display briefly will read
RDS ONLY
to advance to the next
station transmitting RDS data. A few
seconds after this RDS station is tuned its
station name or programme service
information will be displayed.
