159 (d) Radio Data System
Your audio system is equipped with Radio
Data Systems (RDS). RDS mode provides
you to receive text messages from radio sta-
tions that utilize RDS transmitters.
When RDS is on, the radio can
— only select stations of a particular program
type,
— display messages from radio stations,
— search for a stronger signal station.
RDS features are available for the use only on
FM stations which broadcast RDS informa-
tion.
“TYPE ”
If the system receives no RDS stations, “NO
PTY” appears on the display.
Each time you touch “TYPE ” or “TYPE ”,
the program type changes as in the following:
ROCK
MISC (Miscellaneous)
INFORM (Information)
EASY LIS (Easy listening)
CLS/JAZZ (Classical music and Jazz)
R & B (Rhythm and Blues)
RELIGION
ALARM (Emergency message)
“TYPE SEEK”
When a program is set, “TYPE SEEK” ap-
pears. Touch the switch and the system
starts to seek the station in the relevant pro-
gram type.
If any type program station is not found,
“NOTHING” appears on the display.
