Using the RDS (Radio Data System) to

Receive FM Stations

RDS allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their

regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station

names, as well as information about what type of program they

broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the

RDS indicator lights up on the display.

With the receiver, you can receive the following types of RDS

signals.

PS (Program Service) : Shows commonly known station names

PTY (Program Type) : Shows types of broadcast programs

RT (Radio Text) : Shows text messages the station sends

EON (Enhanced Other Network): See page 16.

Notes:

• RDS is not available for AM (MW/LW) broadcasts.

• RDS may not operate correctly if the station tuned is not

transmitting RDS signal properly or if the signal strength is weak.

What Information Can RDS Signals Provide?

You can see the RDS signals the station sends on the display.

To show the RDS signals

Press DISPLAY MODE on the front panel (or DISPLAY on the

remote control) while listening to an FM station.

• Each time you press the button, the display changes to show you

the following information:

PS (Program Service):

While searching, “PS” appears and then the station names will be

displayed. “NO PS” appears if no signal is sent.

PTY (Program Type):

While searching, “PTY” appears and then the type of the broadcast

program will be displayed. “NO PTY” appears if no signal is sent.

have selected FM station using the remote control. If not, the

DISPLAY button does not work for tuner operation. (Pressing FM/
