RDS Operation This unit is equipped with RDS (Radio Data System), which brings a wide range of information to FM radio. Now in use in many countries, RDS is a system for transmitting station call signs or network information, a description of station programme type text message about the station or specifics of musical selection and the correct time. RDS Tuning When a FM station is tuned in and it contains RDS data, the unit will automatically display the station’s call sign as well as indicators for the RDS services programme (PS), programme type recognition (PTY), Radiotext (RT) and Clock Time (CT) if transmitted by the station. RDS Display Options The RDS system is capable of transmitting a wide variety of information in addition to the initial call sign that appears when a station is first tuned. In normal RDS operation the display will indicate the station name, broadcast network or call letters. Pressing RDS on the remote control enables you to cycle through the various data types in the sequence: (PS - -- FREQUENCY - -- PTY - -- RT - -- CT) • PS (Programme Service name)-The name of the channel is shown in the Display Window. • PTY (Programme type recognition)-The name of the programme type is shown in the Display Window. • RT (Radiotext)-A “text” message contains special information from the broadcast station. Note that this message may scroll across the display to permit message. • CT (Time controlled by the channel)-Enables the unit to receive the actual time and show it in the Display Window. Note: Some RDS stations may not choose to include some of these additional features. If the data required for the selected mode is not being transmitted, the Display Window will show a PTY NONE, RT NONE, CT NONE, PS NONE message. Programme Search (PTY) A major benefit of RDS is its ability to encode broadcasts with Programme Type (PTY) codes that indicate the type of material being broadcast. The following list shows the abbreviations used to indicate each PTY along with an explanation of the PTY.
