Listening to the radio
In addition, there are three other program types, TEST,
Alarm!, and None. Alarm! and TEST are used for
emergency announcements. You can't search for these,
but the tuner will switch automatically to this RDS
broadcast signal. None appears when a program type
cannot be found.
Displaying RDS information
Use the DISPLAY button to display the different types of
RDS information available (RT, PS and PTY).
• Press DISPLAY to select the RDS information
display.
Each press changes the display as follows:
• RT – Radio Text display
• PS – Program Service display
• PTY – Program Type display
• PTY SEARCH – see Searching for RDS programs below
• Current tuner frequency
Note
• If any noise is picked up while displaying the RT
scroll, some characters may be displayed incorrectly.
• If you see No Radio Text Data in the RT display, it
means no RT data is transmitted from the broadcast
station. The display will then automatically switch to
the PS data display (if no PS data is transmitted from
the station, the frequency will be displayed after
briefly showing NO DATA).
• In the PTY display, there are cases where NO DATA
or None is shown. If this happens, the PS display is
shown after a few seconds.
Searching for RDS programs
One of the most useful features of RDS is the ability to
search for a particular kind of radio program. You can
search for any of the program types listed on the previous
page.
1 Press the TUNER button to select the FM band.
RDS is only possible in the FM band.
2 Press DISPLAY repeatedly until PTY SEARCH
appears in the display.
3 Use (cursor left/right) to select the
program type you want to hear.
4 Press ENTER to search for the program type.
The system starts searching through the station presets
for a match. When it finds one, the search stops and the
station plays for five seconds.
5 If you want to keep listening to the station, press
ENTER within the 5 seconds.
If you don't press ENTER, searching resumes.
