Rds; Rds (Pty Search) - Teac MC-DX40DAB Owner's Manual

The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service which allows
stations to send additional information along with the regular radio
programme signal.
RDS works on the FM waveband in Europe only.
1 Tune in an FM station (see steps
2 Press the RDS button.
Each time the RDS button is pressed briefly, the RDS mode is
changed as follows:
PS (Programme Service name)
When you select PS, "PS" will blink for about 4 seconds and then
PS or a station's name will be displayed. If there is no PS data,
the frequency will be displayed.
PTY (Programme Type)
When you select PTY, "PTY" will blink for about 4 seconds and
then the programme type will be displayed.
RT (Radio Text)
When you select RT, "RT" will blink for about 4 seconds and then
the news of stations composed of up to 64 symbols will be
displayed.
If there is no CT/PTY/RT data, RDS mode will be switched to
PS mode automatically.
The clock setting will be automatically adjusted according to
the CT data. If you tune in an RDS station broadcasting incorrect
CT data, the clock might be wrongly adjusted, and that may
eventually affect the timer operation.
No matter which RDS mode is selected, the unit receives CT data
and adjusts the clock.
To turn on or off the CT mode, press and hold the RDS
button for more than 10 seconds.
