Page 16: Receiving Rds Stations Rx-485 Rds And Rx-385 Rds Only
RECEIVING RDS STATIONS RX-485 RDS and RX-385 RDS only RDS (Radio Data System) is a data transmission system gradually being introduced by FM stations in many countries. Stations using this system transmit an inaudible stream of data in addition to the normal radio signal. RDS data contains various information, such as AF (Alternative Frequencies for the same program station), PI (Program Identification), PS (Program Service station name), PTY (Program Type name), etc. - Page 17 To turn the unit into the PS mode or PTY mode Press the FREQ/PS/PTY button. Whenever pressed, the mode changes into the PS mode, PTY mode and returns to usual mode in turn. * When an RDS station is received, the display is automatically turned into the PS mode. Do not press the FREQ/PS/PTY button until the display is turned into the PS mode.
- Page 18 Calling a preset RDS station by the station name (PS SEEK) You can call a desired RDS station stored in this unit by only inputting the name of the station in the PS mode. By this operation, this unit searches all preset stations for the station. You do not have to input a full name, even only the first letter can be used for calling.
- Page 19 Calling a preset RDS station by the program type (PTY SEEK) By designating a program type, the unit automatically searches all preset stations for RDS stations of that program type. * There are 15 program types to classify RDS stations. For details, refer to page 16. Turn the unit into the PTY mode.
- Page 20 Calling the best quality RDS station which broadcasts the This function automatically searches for and calls another RDS station of the best reception quality which broadcasts the same program now you are listening to. This function utilizes AF (Alternative Frequencies for the same program station) and PI (Program Identification) of RDS data service. The search is carried out among the RDS network stations.
