Using The Radio Data System To Receive Fm Stations; Searching For A Program By Pty Codes - JVC RX-D411S Instructions Manual

Using the Radio Data System to
receive FM stations
Only the buttons on the remote control are used for Radio
Data System operations.
Radio Data System allows FM stations to send an additional
signal along with their regular program signals. For example,
the stations send their station names, as well as information
about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or
music, etc.
With the receiver, you can receive the following types of Radio
Data System signals:
PS (Program Service):
PTY (Program Type):
RT (Radio Text):
Enhanced Other Networks: See page 28.
NOTES
• Radio Data System is not available for AM (MW) broadcasts.
• Radio Data System may not operate correctly if the station tuned is
not transmitting Radio Data System signal properly or if the signal
strength is weak.
