Rds Operation - LG HT762PZ-D0 Owner's Manual

RDS Operation

This unit is equipped with RDS (Radio Data System),
which brings a wide range of information to FM radio.
RDS, now being used in many countries, is a system
for transmitting station call signs or network
information, a description of station programme type
text message about the station or specifics of musical
selection and the correct time.
RDS TUNING
When a FM station is tuned in and it contains RDS
data, the unit will automatically display the station's
call sign and the RDS indicator will light in the Display
Window as well as indicators for the RDS services
programme (PS), programme type recognition (PTY),
Radio text (RT) and Clock Time (CT) if transmitted by
the station.
RDS DISPLAY OPTIONS
The RDS system is capable of transmitting a wide
variety of information in addition to the initial call sign
that appears when a station is first tuned. In normal
RDS operation the display will indicate the station
name, broadcast network or call letters. Pressing RDS
on the remote control enables you to cycle through
the various data types in the sequence:
(PS ↔ ↔ FREQUENCY ↔ ↔ PTY ↔ ↔ RT ↔ ↔ CT)
PS (Programme Service name)- The name of the
channel is shown in the Display Window.
PTY (Programme type recognition)- The name of
the programme type is shown in the Display
Window.
RT (Radiotext)- A "text" message contains special
information from the broadcast station. Note that
this message may scroll across the display to
permit message.
CT (Time controlled by the channel)- Enables
the unit to receive the actual time and show it in
the Display Window.
Note:
Some RDS stations may not choose to include some
of these additional features. If the data required for
the selected mode is not being transmitted, the
Display Window will show a PTY NONE, RT NONE,
CT NONE, or PS NONE message.
Programme Search (PTY)
A major benefit of RDS is its ability to encode
broadcasts with Programme Type (PTY) codes that
indicate the type of material being broadcast. The
following list shows the abbreviations used to
indicate each PTY along with an explanation of the
PTY.
