Receiving FM Stations with RDS
(CA-D352TR only)
RDS (Radio Data System) is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations are now
providing. It allows the FM stations to send additional signals along with their regular programme signals.
For example, the stations send their station names and information about what type of programme they
broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the station frequency (and then the station
name if sent) is displayed.
One convenient RDS service is “Enhanced Other Networks (EON)”. This allows the Unit to automati-
cally switch to a programme type of your choice when one starts in your broadcast area.
Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do all RDS stations provide the same services. If in
doubt, check with local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.
Note: RDS may not work correctly if the station to which you are tuned is not transmitting properly or if
the signal strength is weak.
What Information RDS can Provide ————————————
The System can use the following RDS service.
PS (Program Service name)
Identifies each station by a name.
TA (Traffic Announcement Identification)
Identifies that a traffic announcement is being broadcast in your area.
RT (Radio Text)
Allows the RDS station to send text messages that appear on the display of the unit.
PTY (Programme Type)
Identifies the type of RDS programme. This allows you to locate a specific type of programme being
broadcast.
Presetting Stations
You can preset up to 30 FM stations and up to 15 AM stations for the preset numbers.
Note: In some cases, test frequencies have been already memorized for the tuner since the factory
examined the tuner preset function before shipment. This is not a malfunction. You can preset the stations
you want into memory by following the presetting method.
1. Select a band by pressing the FM/AM button.
2. Press the TUNING DOWN or TUNING UP on the MULTI CONTROL to
tune into a station.
3. Press and hold the number keys on the Remote Control for a few
seconds to set the preset number.
For preset numbers 1 to 10:
Press the number key for the preset number you want to set.
For preset numbers 11 to 20:
Press the 1 to 10 buttons after pressing the +10 button.
For preset numbers 21 to 30:
Press the 1 to 10 buttons after pressing the +10 button twice.
The preset number appears on the display after you have pressed the number keys. If you press and
hold the button, the preset number display blinks. Release the button after the number starts to blink.
This completes the preset setting.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for each station you want to store in memory
with a preset number.
CAUTION: If the Unit is unplugged or if a power failure occurs, the preset
stations will be erased in a few days. If this happens, preset the station
again.
