Listening to radio broadcasts Tuning (non-RDS) radio stations Radio stations can be classified into RDS (Radio Data System) stations and other stations. To listen to or store RDS stations in the preset memory, see the section entitled, "Using RDS". Using RDS (Radio Data System) RDS is a system that transmits useful information (in the form of digital data) for FM broadcasts along with the broadcast signal. Tuners and receivers designed for RDS reception can extract the information from the broadcast signal for use with various functions, such as automatic display of the station name. 21 MULTI CONTROL INPUT SELECTOR RDS functions: PTY (Program Type Identification) Search ¢ Automatically tunes to a station that is currently broadcasting the specified program type (genre). PS (Program Service Name) Display Automatically displays the station name transmitted by the RDS station. RDS AUTO MEMORY function TM Automatically selects and stores up to 40 RDS stations in the preset memory. If fewer than 40 RDS stations have been stored in the preset memory, regular FM stations will be stored in the remaining places. Radio Text function Displays the radio text data transmitted by some RDS stations when you press the RDS DISP. key. There is "NO RT" display if no text data is transmitted.
