RDS Broadcast Reception

This Rotel unit is equipped with RDS (Radio Data Systems) reception
capabilities. The RDS broadcast system provides additional functionality
to FM radio reception by transmitting encoded information along with the
radio signal. This signal is decoded by an RDS receiver and can provide
a range of informational features including:
1. A display of the station's identifying name (e.g. BBC1).
2. A display of the station's program content (e.g. ROCK or NEWS).
3. Traffic information broadcasts.
4. A scrolling text display for announcements or information.
5. Current time and date.
RDS broadcasting has been widely available in many European markets
for years. There are a large number of RDS stations and most users will be
familiar with the features and operation.
NOTE: The RDS features are entirely dependent on the broadcaster
sending properly encoded signals. Thus, they will only be available in
markets where RDS is currently implemented and where stations are
broadcasting these data signals.

RDS Button G

The RDS button on the remote control can step through the various displays.
Press the RDS button on the remote control to step through the following
displays.
1. Radio Text.
2. Name of station.
3. PTY.
4. Today's date and current time.

MONO Button G

The MONO button on the remote control changes the FM mode from stereo
reception to mono reception. In stereo mode, a stereo signal will be heard
if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal and there is sufficient signal
strength.
NOTE: Switching to mono mode can be a useful way to improve the
reception of weak or distant FM signals. Less signal strength is required
for clean mono reception than for stereo reception.

DAB and DAB+ RADIO

Broadcast (DAB or DAB+) broadcasting signal.

DAB channels are categorized into ensembles, which are also known as

computer data in the future.
