USING THE RADIO

17

RDS is a method for the transmission of additional information
from Radio Stations. It is only available in FM mode. For
example, the name of the radio station, the name of the
program or the type of program can be shown on the display.
It functions only when the broadcasting station has the RDS
transmission and the signal is strong enough.
Press “DISPLAY” on remote control to display the RDS
information. RDS contains the following informations:

PS (Program Service name)
PTY (Program TYpe)
CT (Clock Time)
RT (Radio Text)

Press the DISPLAY button on the remote until PS appears.

The current stations name will be shown.

NO PS will be shown if the signal from the radio

station is not strong enough or no such service is available.

Note:

RDS (Radio Data System)

This receiver is equipped with a back-up memory. This
function ensures that radio preset, and sound adjustments will
be preserved if you experience power failures or you
disconnect the receiver from the power socket. The back-up
memory will preserve the radio presets and sound
adjustments for approximately one week/7 days.
If the power is disconnected for more than one week, the radio
presets and sound adjustments will be erased.
