Mono Button Fm Mono Button; Tune Button; Preset Button; P-Tun Button - Rotel RSX-1058 Manuel D'utilisation

MONO Button
FM MONO Button
The MONO button on the front panel or the
FM MONO button on the remote change the
FM mode from stereo reception to mono recep-
tion. In stereo mode, a stereo signal will be
heard if the station is broadcasting a stereo
signal and there is sufficient signal strength.
An ST indicator will light in the front-panel
display. In mono mode, a mono signal will
be heard even if the station is broadcasting
a stereo signal.
NOTE: Switching to mono mode can improve
the reception of weak or distant FM signals.
Less signal strength is required for clean mono
reception than for stereo reception.

TUNE Button

PRESET Button

P-TUN Button

These remote control buttons are used to
change between FREQUENCY tuning mode
and PRESET tuning mode. In frequency tuning
mode, the TUNING buttons (CH UP/DOWN
on the remote ) advance to the next station
frequency. In preset tuning mode, the TUN-
ING buttons advance to the next memorized
station preset.
Select the FREQUENCY tuning mode by press-
ing the TUNE button on the remote. Select the
PRESET tuning mode by pressing the PRESET
button on the remote. Toggle between the two
modes by pressing the P-TUN button. A PRE-
SET indicator appears in the display when
PRESET TUNING is activated.

SCAN Button

This button activates a preset scanning fea-
ture. When you press the button, the tuner
begins scanning through all memorized sta-
tion presets, playing each for 5 seconds be-
fore moving to the next. To stop the station
scanning when the desired station preset is
reached, press the button again.
NOTE: If a PRESET station is currently tuned
when the PRESET SCAN button is pressed,
scanning will start with the next higher preset
number and continue through all presets, stop-
ping on the initial preset. If a PRESET station is
not currently tuned when the button is pressed,
scanning will start from PRESET 1 and continue
to PRESET 30.

RDS and RBDS Tuning

The Rotel RSX-1058 is equipped with RDS
(Radio Data Systems) reception capabilities
for Europe and RBDS (Radio Broadcast Data
Service) capabilities for the United States.
These broadcast systems provide additional
functionality to FM radio reception by trans-
mitting encoded information along with the
radio signal. This signal is decoded by an RDS
or RBDS receiver and can provide a range
of informational features including:
1. A display of the station's identifying name
(e.g. BBC1).
2. A display of the station's program content
(e.g. ROCK or NEWS).
3. Traffic information broadcasts.
4. A scrolling text display for announcements
or information.
In addition, RDS provides several advanced
search features including:
1. Search for a station with the desired pro-
gram content (PTY).
2. Search for traffic information (TP).
3. Search for stations broadcasting special
traffic announcements (TA).
RDS broadcasting has been widely available
in many European markets for years. There
are a large number of RDS stations and most
users will be familiar with the features and
operation. In the USA, implementation of
the RBDS system is more recent. Fewer sta-
tions are broadcasting RBDS signals and the
features may be less familiar to many users.
Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for more
information on RDS or RBDS broadcasting
in your area.
NOTE: The RDS and RBDS features are en-
tirely dependent on the broadcaster sending
encoded signals. Thus, they will only be avail-
able in markets where RDS or RBDS is imple-
mented and where stations are broadcasting
these data signals. If there are no RDS or RBDS
stations, the RSX-1058 will function as a stan-
dard radio receiver.
NOTE: RDS and RBDS services are only
available on FM broadcasts. The features and
buttons described below are only operational
in FM mode.

DISP Button

There are five display options when the cur-
rently tuned station is broadcasting RDS in-
formation and the RDS indicator in the front-
panel display is lit. Press the DISP button on
the remote to step through the five display
options:
1. Standard FREQUENCY display.
2. PROGRAM SERVICE name. This is typical-
ly the station's call letters, such as BBC1.
If the current station is not broadcasting
an RDS signal, the display will show "NO
NAME DATA".
3. PROGRAM TYPE. This is a description of
the station's content from a standardized
list of program types in each market. If
the current station is not broadcasting an
RDS signal, the display will show "NO
PTY DATA".
4. CLOCK TIME. A time and date display
broadcast by the station. If the current sta-
tion is not broadcasting an RDS signal,
the display will show "NO TIME DATA".
5. RADIO TEXT. Additional scrolling text
messages broadcast by the station. If the
current station is broadcasting radio text
data, an RT indicator lights in the display
and the scrolling text appears. If the cur-
rent station is not broadcasting an RDS
signal, the display will show "NO TEXT
DATA".

PTY Button

The PTY search function permits you to
scan available broadcasts for RDS stations
broadcasting a particular type of program
content.
1. Press the PTY button. The current RDS pro-
gram type will appear in the display.
2. If desired, change to a different PROGRAM
TYPE using the TUNING UP/DOWN but-
tons to scroll through the list.
3. Press the PTY button a second time within
10 seconds. The tuner will attempt to find
an RDS station broadcasting the select-
ed type of program. If the button is not
pressed within 10 seconds after selecting
a program type, the PTY function will be
cancelled.
