RDS is a system which transmits useful informa-
tion (digital data) for FM broadcasts together with
the broadcast signal. Tuners and receivers de-
signed for RDS reception can extract the informa-
tion from the broadcast signal for use with vari-
ous functions such as automatic display of the
station name.
This unit is equipped with the following functions utilizing RDS data :
PTY (Program Type Identification) Search :
The tuner automatically searches for a station which is
currently broadcasting a specified program type (genre).
PS (Program Service Name) Display :
When an RDS broadcast is received, the station name is
automatically displayed.
EON (Enhanced Other Network) :
When the information to be received is set in advance
and any RDS station in the same network starts broad-
casting of such information, the reception automatically
will be switched to that station.
Before using RDS
For reception of RDS stations, the auto presetting function must be used to preset the stations.
