MONO Button

-
The MONO button on the front panel change the FM mode from
stereo reception to mono reception. In stereo mode, a stereo signal
will be heard if the station is broadcasting a stereo signal and there is
sufficient signal strength. An ST indicator will light in the front panel
display. In mono mode, a mono signal will be heard even if the
station is broadcasting a stereo signal.
Note: Switching to mono mode can improve the reception of weak
or distant FM signals. Less signal strength is required for clean mono
reception than for stereo reception.

RDS and RBDS Tuning

This Rotel receiver is equipped with RDS (Radio Data Systems)
reception capabilities for Europe and RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data
Service) capabilities for the United States. These broadcast systems
provide additional functionality to FM radio reception by transmitting
encoded information along with the radio signal. This signal is
decoded by an RDS or RBDS receiver and can provide a range of
informational features including:
1. A display of station's identifying name (e.g. BBC1).
2. A display of the station's program content (e.g. ROCK or NEWS)
3. Traffic information broadcasts.
4. A scrolling text display for announcements or information.
5. Search for a station with the desired program content (PTY)
RDS broadcasting has been widely available in many European
markets for years. There are a large number of RDS stations and most
users will be familiar with the features and operation. In the USA,
implementation of RBDS system is more recent. Fewer stations are
broadcasting RBDS signals and the feature may be less familiar to
many users. Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for more information
on RDS or RBDS broadcasting in your area.
Note: The RDS and RBDS features are entirely dependent on
the broadcaster sending encoded signals. Thus, they will only be
available in markets where RDS or RBDS is implemented and where
