Tune in a radio station with an RDS signal. RDS is

a pre-set program, if there is one. If the PS function is

available, the display automatically shows a PS name

after ca. 5 seconds.

RDS (Radio Data System)

RDS is a system that sends information (digital data) for FM broadcasts together with the broadcast signal.

Radio parts developed for RDS reception can convert these digital data for the display of program names,

program types, current time, etc.

(PTY) Press the DISPLAY button to see the

radio program genre. See the next page.

“NO PTY” on the display indicates that this

function is not available. The display reverts

back to showing PS (if it is available) or the

frequency.

(RT) Press DISPLAY to see the radio text

message, if there is one. The text message will

scroll from right to left. “NO RT” indicates that

this function is not available, in which case the

display reverts to showing PS (if it is available)

or the frequency.

(CT) Press DISPLAY once to show the current time.

“--:--” indicates that this function is not available.

Note:

The above RDS functions can also be selected

with the remote control’s DISPLAY button.

The RDS functions and selections vary be-

tween different radio stations and countries.
