RDS Radio
- Using the Radio Data System (RDS) -
Using the Radio Data System (RDS) (continued)
Using the Auto Station Programme Memory
(ASPM)
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.
1 Press the TUNER (BAND) button repeatedly to select “FM”.
2 Press and hold down the ASPM button for at least 3 seconds.
1.After “ASPM” has flashed for about 4 seconds, scanning will start (87.50 -
108.00 MHz).
2.When an RDS station is found, “RDS” will appear first, and then the station
will be stored in memory.
3.After scanning, the number of stations stored in memory will be displayed for
4 seconds.
To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete:
Press the 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 fre-
quency 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 stations have been stored in memory, “END” will appear for about 4 sec-
onds.
If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be stored in memory.
To erase all of the contents of preset memory:
Refer to “To clear all memorised stations” on page 23.
To correct a station name in memory:
It may be impossible to store station names in memory using the ASPM function if
there is lots of noise or if the signal is too weak. In this case, perform as follows.
1. Press the
5/3
or
2/4
button to check whether the names are correct.
2. If you find a wrong name while receiving the station, wait until the correct name
will be displayed. And then press the MEMORY/ENTER button.
3. Press the MEMORY/ENTER button whilst the preset channel number is flashing.
(Within 5 seconds)
The new station name has been stored in memory correctly.
Notes:
The same station name can be stored in different channels.
In a certain area or during certain time periods, the station names may tempo-
rarily be different.
