Listening to the Radio
—Continued
RDS only works with European models and only in areas
where RDS broadcasts are available.
When tuned into an RDS station, the RDS indicator
appears.
What is RDS?
RDS stands for
Radio Data System
and is a method of
transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed
by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is avail-
able in most European countries. Many FM stations use
it these days. In addition to displaying text information,
RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g.,
news, sport, rock, etc.).
The AV receiver supports four types of RDS informa-
tion:
PS (Program Service)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS
information, the station’s name will be displayed. Press-
ing the [DISPLAY] button will display the frequency for
3 seconds.
RT (Radio Text)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text
information, the text will be shown on the display (see
page 43).
PTY (Program Type)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type
(see page 43).
TP (Traffic Program)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that
broadcast traffic information (see page 43).
Notes:
In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV
receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the
radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be dis-
played when unsupported characters are received.
This is not a malfunction.
If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data
may be displayed intermittently or not at all.
