RDS and RBDS Broadcast

Reception

The Rotel RT-06 is equipped with RDS (Ra-

dio Data Systems) reception capabilities for

Europe and RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data

Service) capabilities for the United States.

These broadcast systems provide additional

functionality to FM radio reception by trans-

mitting encoded information along with the

radio signal. This signal is decoded by an RDS

or RBDS receiver and can provide a range

of informational features including:

1. A display of the station’s identifying name

(e.g. BBC1).

2. A display of the station’s program content

(e.g. ROCK or NEWS).

3. Trafﬁc information broadcasts.

4. A scrolling text display for announcements

or information.

In addition, RDS provides several advanced

search features including:

1. The ability to search for a station with the

desired program content (PTY).

2. The ability to search for trafﬁc information

(TP).

3. The ability to automatically search stations

broadcasting special trafﬁc announce-

ments (TA).

RDS broadcasting has been widely available

in many European markets for years. There

are a large number of RDS stations and most

users will be familiar with the features and

operation. In the USA implementation of the

RBDS system is more recent. Fewer stations

are currently broadcasting RBDS signals and

the features may be less familiar to many us-

ers. Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for

more information on RDS or RBDS broadcast-

ing in your market.

NOTE: The RDS and RBDS features are entirely

dependent on the broadcaster sending prop-

erly encoded signals. Thus, they will only be

available in markets where RDS and RBDS

is currently implemented and where stations

are broadcasting these data signals. If there

are no RDS or RBDS stations, the RT-06 will

function as a standard radio receiver.

NOTE: RDS and RBDS services are only avail-

able on FM broadcasts. The features and but-

tons described below are only operational

in FM mode.

rently tuned station is broadcasting RDS in-

the station’s call letters, such as BBC1. If
