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.
1
Tune in to an FM station (see page 11).
2
Press the RDS button.
Each time the RDS button is pressed, the
RDS mode is changed as follows:
RDS Program type (PTY)
When you select PTY, the programme type
will be displayed.
If there is no PTY data, "NO PTY" will be
displayed.
RDS Radio text (RT)
When you select RT, up to 64 characters of
information transmitted by the station will
be displayed.
If there is no RT data, "NO TEXT" will be
displayed.
RDS
RDS Clock time (CT)
Displays the time information provided
from the station.
When you select RDS Clock time, the clock
time provided from the station will be
displayed.
RDS off (Normal display)
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.
When you do not want the clock of this unit
to be set according to the CT data, turn off
the auto clock adjustment.
< No matter which RDS mode is selected,
the unit receives CT data and adjusts the
clock.
To turn on or off the auto clock
adjustment, hold down the RDS button
for more than 2 seconds.
"CT ON" or "CT OFF" briefly appears.
