Using the Tuner

An Introduction to RDS

Radio Data System, or RDS as it’s usually known, is a

system used by FM radio stations to provide listeners

with various kinds of information—the name of the

station and the kind of show they’re broadcasting, for

example. This information shows up as text on the

display, and you can switch between the kind of

information shown. Although you don’t get RDS

information from all FM radio stations, you do with

most.

Probably the best feature of RDS is that you can search

automatically by type of program. So, if you felt like

listening to jazz, you could search for a station that’s

broadcasting a show with the program type, "JAZZ."

There are around 30 such program types, including

various genres of music, news, sport, talk shows,

financial information, and so on.

The receiver lets you display three different kinds of RDS

information: “Radio Text”, “Program Service Name”, and

“Program Type”.

“Radio Text” (RT) is messages sent by the radio station.

These can be anything the broadcaster chooses—a talk

radio station might give out it telephone number as RT,

for example.

“Program Service Name” (PS) is the name of the radio

station.

“Program Type” (PTY) indicates the kind of program

currently being broadcast.

The receiver can search for and display the following

program types:

NEWS News

AFFAIRS Current affairs

INFO General information

SPORT Sport

EDUCATE Educational material

DRAMA Radio plays or serials

CULTURE National or regional culture, theatre, etc.

SCIENCE Science and technology

In addition, there are two other program types, ALARM,

and NO TYPE. ALARM used for exceptional emergency

announcements. You can’t search for this, but the tuner

will switch automatically to this RDS broadcast signal.

NO TYPE appears when a type cannot be found.

Using the RDS display

To display the different types of RDS information

available (RT, PS and PTY as explained above), press FM/

AM on the remote control and use the DISPLAY button

to cycle through the types of RDS information.

Each press changes the display as follows:

• In the RT mode, if any noise is picked up while

displaying the RT scroll, some characters may be

displayed incorrectly temporarily.

• In the RT, when no RT data is transmitted from the

broadcast station, NO RADIO TEXT DATA is dis-

played once and after that the PS data is displayed. If

you have entered a name for that station it will be

displayed.

• In the PTY mode, there are cases where NO DATA is

displayed. In this case the tuner will automatically

switch to the PS mode after a few seconds.

• If reception conditions are strong but the RDS data is

displayed incorrectly, press RF ATT.
