Receiving Rds Stations; Rx-495Rds And Rx-395Rds Only - Yamaha RX-395RDS Owner's Manual

In areas where RDS broadcasts cannot be received, the RDS broadcast functions do not operate. (The procedures from page 22 to
page 26 are not necesssary.)
RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced by FM stations in many countries. Stations
using this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal.
RDS data contains various information, such as PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service name), PTY (Program Type), RT
(Radio Text), CT (Clock Time), EON (Enhanced Other Networks), etc.
RDS function is carried out among the network stations.
* This unit utilizes PI, PS, PTY, RT, CT and EON to receive RDS broadcast stations.
This unit can be turned into the following five modes to display
RDS data.
PS (Program Service name) mode:
Displays the name of the RDS station now being received
instead of the frequency.
PTY (Program Type) mode:
Displays the type of the program on the RDS station now being
received. There are 15 program types to classify RDS
stations. Refer to the next page for details.
RT (Radio Text) mode:
Displays information about the program (such as title of the
song, name of the singer, etc.) on the RDS station now being
received.
