Notes
When you tune in a DAB broadcast, do not turn up
the volume on the receiver too loud. Since DAB
broadcasts have a wide dynamic range, a loud sound
may affect your ears or cause the receiver or speakers
to be damaged.
When tuning in a DAB station, it may take a few
seconds before you hear any sound.
This receiver also allows you to use RDS (Radio
Data System), which enables radio stations to
send additional information along with the
regular program signal. You can also display
RDS information.
Notes
RDS is operable only for FM stations.
Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do they
provide the same types of services. If you are not
familiar with the RDS services in your area, check
with your local radio stations for details.
Receiving RDS broadcasts
Simply select a station on the FM band
using automatic tuning (page 25), direct
tuning (page 26), or preset tuning
(page 28).
When you tune in a station that provides RDS
services, the “RDS” indicator lights up and the
program service name appears in the display.
Note
RDS may not work properly if the station you tuned to
is not transmitting the RDS signal properly or if the
signal strength is weak.
Displaying RDS information
While receiving an RDS station, press
DISPLAY repeatedly.
Each time you press the button, RDS
information on the display changes cyclically as
follows:
Program Service name t Frequency
