Setting RDS Reception Mode and

Receiving RDS Stations

The RDS (Radio Data System) is a radio information

system using the 57 kHz subcarrier of regular FM

broadcast. The RDS allows you to receive a variety of

information such as traffic information, station names,

and to automatically re-tune to a stronger transmitter

that is broadcasting the same programme.

Press the F button so that "FUNCTION ON" appears on

the display.

2 Press the AF button to activate the RDS mode.

3 Press the g DN or f UP button to tune in the

desired RDS station.

NOTE

When the BAND button is pressed and held for at least 2

seconds while the PS (Programme Service Name) or Radio Text

display is being displayed, the display shows the station

frequency for 5 seconds, then returns to the previous display.

4 Press the AF button again to deactivate the RDS

mode.

5 Press the F button to activate the normal mode.

"FUNCTION OFF" appears on the display.

NOTE

The FUNCTION mode is cancelled if there is no operation

performed within 5 seconds.

Tips

• When the unit receives the PTY31 (Emergency Broadcast)

signal, the unit will show "ALARM" in the display

automatically.

• The RDS digital data includes the followings:

PI Programme Identification

PS Programme Service Name

AF List of Alternative Frequencies

TP Traffic Programme

Recalling Preset RDS Stations

Press the F button so that "FUNCTION ON" appears on

"FUNCTION OFF" appears on the display.

4 Make sure that the FUNCTION mode is turned off,

then press the preset button in which your desired

RDS station is preset.

If the preset station's signal is weak, the unit

automatically searches and tunes to a stronger

station in the AF (Alternative Frequencies) list.

5 If the preset station and the stations in the AF list

cannot be received:

When the PI SEEK setting is on (refer to "PI SEEK

Setting" on page 19), the unit searches again for a

station in the PI (Programme Identification) list.

If there are still no stations receivable in the area, the

unit displays the frequency of the preset station and

the preset indicator disappears.

If the signal level of the Regional (Local) station being

tuned becomes too weak to receive, press the same

preset button to tune in a Regional station in other

district.

NOTES

• For presetting the RDS stations, refer to the Radio

Operation section. The RDS stations can be preset in the
