Using RDS (excluding North American and

When tuned into an RDS station, the RDS indicator
lights.
When the station is broadcasting text information, the
text can be displayed.
What is RDS?
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method
of transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was
developed by the European Broadcasting Union
(EBU) and is available in most European countries.
Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to
displaying text information, RDS can also help you
find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock,
etc.).
The AV receiver supports four types of RDS
information:
PS (Program Service)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting PS
information, the station’s name will be displayed.
Pressing DISPLAY will display the frequency for 3
seconds.
RT (Radio Text)
When tuned to an RDS station that’s broadcasting
text information, the text will be shown on the AV
receiver’s display.
PTY (Program Type)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by
type.
TP (Traffic Program)
This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that
broadcast traffic information (page 40).
Note
RDS works only in areas where RDS broadcasts are
available.
In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV
receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the
radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be
displayed when unsupported characters are received. This
is not a malfunction.
If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be
displayed intermittently or not at all.
