Using RDS

Radio Data System (RDS) is a system used by most FM
radio stations to provide listeners with various kinds of
information — the name of the station and the kind of
show they’re broadcasting, for example.

One feature of RDS is that you can search by type of
program. For example, you can search for a station that’s
broadcasting a show with the program type,

Jazz Music

You can search the following program types

Note

1 In addition, there are three other program types,

Alarm Alarm!

,

Alarm Test

, and

None

.

Alarm Alarm!

and

Alarm Test

are used for emergency

announcements. You can’t search for these, but the tuner will switch automatically to this RDS broadcast signal.

None

appears when a program type

cannot be found.

2 • If any noise is picked up while displaying the RT scroll, some characters may be displayed incorrectly.

• If the

No Radio Text Data

message appears in the RT display, it may mean that RT data is not being transmitted from the radio station. In the same

way, if the

No Data

message appears in the PS or PTY display, it may mean that no PS or PTY data are being transmitted from the radio station.

• When no broadcast can be received, selecting the RDS display will cause the

No Data

message to appear in all display areas, and thereafter the display

will automatically return to the frequency display.

3 RDS is only possible in the FM band.
