The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service
which allows stations to send additional information
along with the regular radio programme signal.
RDS works on the FM waveband in Europe only.
Tune in an FM RDS station (see page 33).
Press the RDS MODE button (or the INFO/RDS
button of the remote control unit).
Each time the RDS MODE button is pressed briefly,
the RDS mode is changed as follows:
Program service (PS)
When you select Program service, “PROGRAM
SERVICE” will blink for about 3 seconds and then
the programme service name or a station’s name
will be displayed. If there is no programme service
data, the frequency will be displayed.
RDS Clock time (CT)
Displays the information about times provided
from the station.
When you select RDS Clock time, “RDS CLOCK
TIME” will blink for about 3 seconds and then the
clock time will be displayed.
RDS Program type (PYT)
When you select RDS Program type, “RDS
PROGRAM TYPE” will blink for about 3 seconds
and then the programme type will be displayed.
RDS Radio text (RT)
When you select RDS Radio text, “RDS RADIO
TEXT” will blink for about 3 seconds and then the
news of stations composed of up to 64 symbols
will be displayed.

Traffic announce (TA)
When you select Traffic announce, “TRAFFIC
ANNOUNCE” will blink for 3 seconds and then
the unit searches for a traffic announcement.
<
When a traffic programme is found, the Traffic
announce mode is switched to Program service
mode.
If the station currently selected is transmitting a
traffic program signal, the RDS mode will be
switched to Program service mode without
searching for a traffic program.
If there is no CT/PTY/RT data, RDS mode will
be automatically switched to PS mode.

The clock setting will be automatically adjusted
according to the CT data.
If you tune in an RDS station broadcasting incorrect
CT data, the clock might be wrongly adjusted, and
that may eventually affect the timer operation.
No matter which RDS mode is selected, the unit
receives CT data and adjusts the clock.
To turn on or off the CT mode, press and hold
the RDS MODE button for more than 10
seconds.
