Receiving FM Stations with RDS
You can use the RDS (Radio Data System) by using the buttons on the Unit or the Remote Control. RDS allows FM stations to send additional signals with their regular programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, and information about what type of programmes they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. This unit can receive the following types of RDS signals: PS (Programme Service): shows commonly known station names. PTY (Programme Type): shows types of broadcast programmes. RT (Radio Text): shows text messages the station sends. What information can RDS signals provide? The display shows RDS signal information that the station sends.
PS (Programme Service): While searching, PS appears, then station name is displayed. NO PS appears if no signal is sent. PTY (Programme Type): While searching, PTY appears, then broadcast programme type is displayed. NO PTY appears if no signal is sent. RT (Radio Text): While searching, RT appears, then a text message sent by the station is displayed. NO RT appears if no signal is sent. Station Frequency: Station frequency (non-RDS service)
To show the RDS signals on the display
Press the DISPLAY MODE button while listening to an FM station. Each time you press the button, the display changes to show information in the following order:
If searching finishes at once, PS, PTY and RT will not appear on the display. If you press the DISPLAY MODE button while listening to an AM (MW/LW) station, the display only shows station frequency. RDS is not available for AM (MW/LW) broadcasts.

To temporarily switch to a broadcast programme of your choice
EON (Enhanced Other Networks) is another convenient RDS service that allows this unit to switch temporarily to a broadcast programme of your choice (NEWS, TA or INFO) from the currently selected station, except if you are listening to a non-RDS station (all AM (MW/LW) stations or some FM stations). If an FM station does not broadcast EON information, EON cannot be activated. Case 1:If there is no station broadcasting the type of programme you have selected The broadcast station being currently heard will continue to be heard. When a station starts broadcasting the programme you have selected, this unit automatically switches to the station. The programme type (TA, NEWS or INFO) indicator starts blinking. When the programme is over, this unit goes back to the currently selected station, but still remains in EON Standby mode. Case 2:If there is a station broadcasting the type of programme you have selected This unit tunes to the station broadcasting the programme.
