Using the Radio Data System (RDS) (continued)
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, “00 MEM”
and “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.
If any of the following events occur, it does not mean
that the unit is faulty:
“PS”, “NO PS” and a station name appear alternately,
and the unit does not operate properly.
If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a
station is conducting tests, the RDS reception function
may not work properly.
When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too
weak, information like the station name may not be
displayed.
“NO PS”, “NO PTY” or “NO RT” will flash for about 5
seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.
Notes for radio text:
The first 8 characters of the radio text will appear for 4
seconds and then they will scroll across the display.
If you tune in to an RDS station which is not
broadcasting any radio text, “NO RT” will be displayed
when you switch to the radio text position.
Whilst radio text data is received or when the text
contents change, “RT” will be displayed.
To specify programmed types and select stations
(PTY search):
You can search a station by specifying the programme type
(news, sports, traffic programme, etc. ... see page 17) from
the stations in memory.
