What is RDS? RDS (Radio Data System) is a system for transmitting data along with FM programs. This data, which is inaudible, provides a variety of features such as: program service name, program type display, traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning and program type tuning, intended to aid radio listeners in tuning to a desired station.
AF Function The AF (Alternative Frequencies search) function is used to search for other frequencies in the same network as the currently tuned station. It automatically retunes the receiver to another frequency in the network which is broadcasting a stronger signal when there are problems with reception of the currently tuned station or better reception is possible on a different frequency.
PI Seek Function The tuner searches for another frequency broadcasting the same programming. "PI SEEK" appears on the display and the radio volume is muted during a PI Seek. The muting is discontinued after completion of the PI Seek, whether or not the PI seek has succeeded. If the PI Seek is unsuccessful, the tuner returns to the previous frequency.
TA Function The TA (Traffic Announcement standby) function lets you receive traffic announcements automatically, no matter what source you are listening to. The TA function can be activated for either a TP station (a station that broadcasts traffic information) or an EON TP station (a station carrying information which cross-references TP stations).
Canceling Traffic Announcements The announcement is canceled but the tuner remains in the TA mode until the TA/AF button is pressed again. Adjusting the TA Volume When a traffic announcement begins, the volume adjusts automatically to a preset level to enable you to hear the announcement clearly.
PTY Function The PTY function enables you to select stations by the type of programming they broadcast (PTY Search). It also provides automatic tuning to emergency broadcasts (PTY Alarm). • PTY code program types are as follows: 1. NEWS: News. 2.
PTY Search Setting Function Hold for 2 seconds The name of a program type appears on the display for 5 seconds. • CURRENT sets desired PTY to the program type of the current station (only for RDS stations broadcasting PTY information).
PTY Search Function The tuner searches for a station broadcasting the desired PTY. • The program of some stations may differ from that indicated by the transmitted PTY. • If no station broadcasting the selected programming type is found, "NOTFOUND" is displayed for about 2 seconds, and the tuner returns to the original station.
