Using RDS (Radio Data System)

RDS is a system that transmits useful information (in the form of
digital data) for FM broadcasts along with the broadcast signal.
Tuners and receivers designed for RDS reception can extract
the information from the broadcast signal for use with various
functions, such as automatic display of the station name.
Before using a function utilizing the RDS, be sure to perform the
RDS Auto Memory operation by referring to the description in
<RDS Auto Memory> U.
RDS functions:
RDS AUTO MEMORY function
Automatically selects and stores up to 40 RDS stations in
the preset memory.
If fewer than 40 RDS stations have been stored in the
preset memory, regular FM stations will be stored in the
remaining places.
PS (Program Service) Name Display
Automatically displays the station name transmitted by the
RDS station.
PTY (Program TYpe) identification Search
Automatically tunes to a station that is currently
broadcasting the specified program type (genre).
RT (Radio Text) function
Displays the radio text data transmitted by some RDS
stations when you press [DISPLAY]. There is "No RT" or "RT
----" display if no text data is transmitted.
The "RDS" indicator lights up when an RDS broadcast
(signal) is received.
• Some functions and function names may differ for certain
countries and areas.
