RDS (Radio Data System)
RDS is a broadcasting service which allows stations to
send additional information along with the regular
radio program signal. RDS can be received only in FM
band.
Every time the RDS MODE button is pressed, the mode
is changed as follows:
PS (Program Service Name)
When you select PS, "PS" is displayed, and in 4
seconds, the program service name will be
displayed. If there is no PS data in the station, the
frequency will be displayed.
CT (Clock Time)
When you select CT with the RDS MODE button,
"CT" will blink for about 4 seconds. After 4
seconds, the clock time will be displayed.
If there is no CT data among received broadcasting,
RDS mode will be automatically switched to PS
mode.
PTY (Program Type)
When you select PTY, the type of received PTY will
be displayed.
RT
When you select RT with the RDS MODE button,
"RT" will blink for about 4 second.
After 4 seconds, the data of received RT will be
displayed.
If there is no RT data among received broadcasting,
RDS mode will be automatically switched to PS
mode.
TA (Traffic Announcement ) (TP Search)
When you select TA by use of the RDS MODE
button, "TA" will blink for about 4 seconds. After 4
seconds, TP received broadcasting will be searched
with FM frequency increasing in 50 kHz steps.
If TP received broadcasting is searched, the increase
in frequency will stop and it is asked whether TA
will be received or not.
If TP and TA turn off while you are receiving TA,
the tuner will search TA broadcasting again with
FM frequency increasing in 50 kHz steps.
