Using the Tuner
—Continued
Using RDS (European models only)
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 appears. When you press
the [DISPLAY] button, the frequency is displayed for
three seconds.
RT (Radio Text)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting RT
text information, that information is shown on the dis-
play (see page 44).
PTY (Program Type)
You can also search for radio stations by type (see
page 44).
TP (Traffic Program)
You can also search for TP radio stations (see page 44).
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.
