Setting RDS Reception Mode and
Receiving RDS Stations
The RDS (Radio Data System) is a radio information system
using the 57 kHz subcarrier of regular FM broadcast. The RDS
allows you to receive a variety of information such as traffic
information, station names, and to automatically re-tune to a
stronger transmitter that is broadcasting the same programme.
The RDS digital data include the following:
Recalling Preset RDS Stations
1
Select the band, and then press any one of the
station preset buttons (1 through 6) that has
your desired radio station in memory.
The display shows the band, preset number and frequency of the
station selected.
2
If the preset station’s signal is weak:
The unit automatically searches and tunes to a stronger station
in the AF (Alternative Frequencies) list.
3
If the preset station and the stations in the AF list
cannot be received:
When the PI SEEK setting is on (refer to “PI SEEK Setting” on
page 6), the unit searches again for a station in the PI
(Programme Identification) list.
If there are still no stations receivable in the area, the unit
displays the frequency of the preset station and the preset
number disappears.
If the signal level of the Regional (Local) station being tuned
becomes too weak to receive, press the same preset button to
tune in a Regional station in other district.
Note
• For presetting the RDS stations, refer to the Radio Operation
section. The RDS stations can be preset in the FM1, FM2 and FM3
bands only.
