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” (Trafc Programme) will appear on the display when

the received broadcast carries trafc information, and

“TA” (Trafc Announcement) will appear while a trafc

information is on air.

“PTYI” (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear while the

Dynamic PTY station is received.

You can control the RDS by using the buttons on the

remote control only.

Information provided by RDS■

Each time the RDS DISPLAY button is pressed, the

display will switch as follows:

Station name (PS) Programme type (PTY)

Radio text (RT)Frequency

When tuning in to a station other than an RDS station or to

an RDS station which sends weak signal, the display will

change in the following order:

No PS No PTY

FM 98.80 MHz

No RT

Using the Auto Station Programme

Memory (ASPM)

■

While 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.

Press the TUNER button on the remote control or

FUNCTION button repeatedly on the main unit to

select TUNER function.

Press and hold down the RDS ASPM button on the

remote control.

After “ASPM” has ashed for about 4 seconds,

scanning will start (87.50 - 108.00 MHz).

When an RDS station is found, “RDS” will appear

for a short time and the station will be stored in

memory.

After scanning, the number of stations stored in

memory will be displayed for 4 seconds, and then

“END” will appear for 4 seconds.

To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete:

Press the RDS ASPM button while 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 has been stored in memory, “END” will

appear for a short while.

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.

Notes for RDS operation■

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 ash for about 5

seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.
