Listening to the Radio—Continued

RDS only works in areas where RDS broadcasts are

available. When tuned to an RDS station, the RDS

indicator appears.

■ What is RDS?

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is 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. RDS is approved

by the National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and

is available in North America.

Many FM stations 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 AV receiver supports four types of RDS

information:

PS (Program Service)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS

information, the station’s name will be displayed.

Pressing the [DISPLAY] button will display the

frequency for 3 seconds.

RT (Radio Text)

When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting text

information, the text will be shown on the display (see

page 54).

PTY (Program Type)

This allows you to search RDS radio stations by type

(see page 54).

TP (Traffic Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that

broadcast traffic information (see page 54).

Notes:

• In some cases, the 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.
