Turning On and Listening to AM and FM Radio—Continued
RDS only works with European and U.K. models and
only in areas where RDS broadcasts are available.
What is RDS?
RDS stands for Radio Data System and it’s a method of
transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed
by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is
available in most European countries. Many FM sta-
tions 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 T-4555 supports the following types of RDS data:
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 current fre-
quency for 3 seconds.
RT (Radio Text)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting RT
text information, the text will be shown on the display
(see page 18).
PTY (Program Type)
With PTY, you can search for radio stations by type (see
page 18).
TP (Traffic Program)
With TP, you can listen to traffic information (see
page 18).
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
displayed 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.
