Listening to RDS broadcasts (European models only)
Listening to RDS broadcasts
RDS reception is available only on the European model and only
in areas where RDS broadcasts are available.
What is RDS?
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a type of FM
broadcasting. RDS was developed within the European
Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most European
countries. Many FM broadcasting stations now transmit the RDS
signals, which provide the additional information required. RDS
provides you with various services so that you can choose a station
that broadcasts your favorite categories of music, news, or other
information.
There are three main classifications of RDS broadcasts. Though
they can be tuned into by using the Tuning buttons as normal
stations, RDS broadcasts allow you to scan for stations of the type
and classification for which you are looking. This makes it much
easier for you to find the station you want (see Performing a PTY
scan and Performing a TP scan on page 52). The three main
classifications are explained below.
RT: Radio Text
When an RDS station broadcasting RT information is selected,
the text information received from the station is displayed.
PTY: Program Type
When an RDS station broadcasting PTY information is
selected, the station type (classification) is displayed.
TP: Traffic Program
When an RDS station broadcasting TP information is selected,
traffic information will be broadcasted periodically.
Notes:
In some cases, the characters displayed on the display of the
TX-DS787 may not be exactly the same as the ones broadcast
by the radio station. Also, unusual characters may appear on
the display if the TX-DS787 receives characters that cannot be
displayed correctly. This is not a malfunction.
When an RDS station broadcasting PS information is selected,
the name of the station is displayed instead of the frequency.
