■ 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. 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

DISPLAY 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 as

described in the next section.

PTY (Program Type)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type

(➔ page 30).

TP (Traffic Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that

broadcast traffic information (➔ page 30).

Note

• In some cases, the text 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.

On the remote controller, press TUNER repeatedly

to select “AM” or “FM”, followed by D.TUN.

(Actual display depends on the country.)

Within 8 seconds, use the number buttons to enter

the frequency of the radio station.

For example, to tune to 87.5 (FM), press 8, 7, 5.

If you have entered the wrong number, you can retry

after 8 seconds.

Tune into the AM/FM station that you want to

store as a preset.

See the previous section.

Press MEMORY.

(Actual display depends on the country.)

While the preset number is flashing (about 8

seconds), use PRESET e/r to select a preset from

1 through 40.

Press MEMORY again to store the station or

channel.

The station or channel is stored and the preset number

stops flashing.

Repeat this procedure for all of your favorite FM/AM

radio stations.

To select a preset, use PRESET e/r on the AV

receiver, or the remote controller’s CH +/–.

Tip

select a preset directly.

Select the preset that you want to delete.

See the previous section.

While holding down MEMORY, press TUNING

MODE.

The preset is deleted and its number disappears from
