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.
“TP” (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when
the received broadcast carries traffic information, and “TA”
(Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic
information is on air.
“PTYI” (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the
Dynamic PTY station is received.
You can control the RDS by using the buttons on the
remote control only.
Each time the RDS DISPLAY button is pressed, the
display will switch as follows:
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.
To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete:
Press the RDS ASPM button whilst it is scanning for
stations.
The stations which are already stored in memory will be
kept there.
Notes:
● If the same station is broadcasting on different
frequencies, the strongest frequency will be stored in
memory.
● Any station which has the same frequency as the 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.
● If no station have been stored in memory, “END” will
appear for about 4 seconds.
● If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may
not be stored in memory.
● The same station name can be stored in different
channels.
● In a certain area or during certain time periods, the
station names may temporarily be different.
