RDS Operation
The AVR is equipped with RDS (Radio Data System),
which brings a wide range of information to FM radio.
RDS is a system for transmitting station call signs or
network information, a description of station program
type, text messages about the station or specifics of a
musical selection, and the correct time.
RDS Tuning
When an FM station is tuned in and it contains RDS
data, the AVR will automatically display the stations
call sign or other program service in the Main
Information Display
.
RDS Display Options
The RDS system is capable of transmitting a wide
variety of information in addition to the initial station
call sign that appears when a station is first tuned.
In normal RDS operation the display will indicate
the station name, broadcast network or call letters.
Pressing the RDS button
enables you to
cycle through the various data types in the following
sequence:
The stations call letters (with some private stations t
other information too).
The stations frequency (
t

).
The Program Type (
t

).
A “text” message (Radiotext,
t

) containing
special information from the broadcast station.
Note that this message may scroll across the
display to permit messages longer than the eight
positions in the display. Depending on signal
quality, it may take up to 30 seconds for the text
message to appear; in that time, the word

will flash in the Information Display when RT is
selected.
The current time of day (
t

). Note that it may
take up to two minutes for the time to appear.
In that time the word

will flash in
the information display when CT is selected.
Please note that the accuracy of the time data is
dependent on the radio station, not the AVR.
Some RDS stations may not include some of these
additional features. If the data required for the
selected mode is not being transmitted, the Main
Information Display
will show a
e 
,
e
or
e
message after the
individual time out.
In any FM mode the RDS function requires a strong
enough signal for proper operation.
