TUNE Button F

PRESET Button G

P-TUN Button Z

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 TUNING buttons advance

to the next memorized station preset.

Select the FREQUENCY tuning mode by pressing 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 PRESET indicator appears in the display when PRESET TUNING is

activated.

SCAN Button M

This button activates a preset scanning feature. When you press the

button, the tuner begins scanning through all memorized station presets,

playing each for 5 seconds before 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, stopping 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

This Rotel receiver 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 transmitting 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 program 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 stations 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 entirely dependent on

the broadcaster sending encoded signals. Thus, they will only

be available in markets where RDS or RBDS is implemented and

where stations are broadcasting these data signals. If there are

no RDS or RBDS stations, the unit will function as a standard 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 currently tuned station is

broadcasting RDS information and the RDS indicator in the front-panel

display is lit. Press the DISP button on the remote (in the DVD control

section) to step through the ﬁve display options:

1. Standard FREQUENCY display.

2. PROGRAM SERVICE name. This is typically 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 station 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

current 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 program type will appear in

the display.

2. If desired, change to a different PROGRAM TYPE using the TUNING

UP/DOWN buttons 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 selected type of

program. If the button is not pressed within 10 seconds after selecting

a program type, the PTY function will be cancelled.

4. If no station is located for the desired content type, the tuner will

return to the last previously tuned station.

5. Cancel the PTY function by pressing any other button.
