RDS Operation
The JBL DSC100DVD 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 e.g.
station call signs or network
information and a description of station
program type (PTY).
As more FM stations become
equipped with RDS capabilities, the
JBL DSC100DVD will serve as an easy-
to-use center 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 red
RDS
Indicator will illuminate and the JBL
DSC100DVD will automatically display
the station’s call sign, e.g. "ANTENNE1"
in the front panel display (up to 8
characters are possible). With some
private stations, other information may
alternate with the station´s call sign.
RDS Display Options
In normal RDS operation, the display
will indicate the station name, broad-
cast network or call letters. Pressing
the
DISPLAY
button enables you to
cycle through the following sequence:
• The station’s call letters (with some
private stations other information, too).
• The Program Type (PTY) as shown in
the list below.
• The station’s frequency.
Some RDS stations may not include
the PTY feature. In this case, the PTY
indicator in the display will not light
and, if selected by the
DISPLAY
button,
"NO PTY" will appear in the front
display.
In any FM mode, the RDS function
requires a strong enough signal for
proper operation. If you receive a
partial message, or the
RDS
Indicator
goes on and off, try slowly adjusting
the antenna or tune to another
stronger RDS station.
