NOTE

: RDS and RBDS services are only avail-

able on FM broadcasts. The features and

buttons described below are only opera-

tional in FM mode.

DISPLAY 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 DISPLAY but-

ton to step sequentially through the five avail-

able display options:

1. Standard FREQUENCY display.

2. PROGRAM SERVICE name. This is typi-

cally the station’s call letters, such as

BBC1). If the current station is not broad-

casting an RDS signal, the display will

show a blinking PS indication.

3. PROGRAM TYPE. This is a description of

the station’s content from a standardized

list of program types in each market (for

example: NEWS, CURRENT AFFAIRS,

INFO, SPORT, EDUCATION, DRAMA,

CULTURE, SCIENCE, VARIED, POP,

ROCK, EASY LISTENING, LIGHT CLAS-

SICAL, SERIOUS CLASSICAL, OTHER

MUSIC, WEATHER, FINANCE, CHIL-

DREN, SOCIAL AFFAIRS, RELIGION,

PHONE IN, TRAVEL, LEISURE, JAZZ,

COUNTRY, NATIONAL MUSIC, OLDIES,

FOLK, and DOCUMENTARY). If the cur-

rent station is not broadcasting an RDS

signal, the display will show a blinking

PT indication.

4. CLOCK TIME. A time and date display

broadcast by the station. If the current

station is not broadcasting an RDS sig-

nal, the display will show a blinking CT

indication.

5. RADIO TEXT. Additional scrolling text

messages broadcast by the station. If the

current station is not broadcasting an RDS

signal, the display will show a blinking

RT indication.

PTY Button

The PTY search function permits you to scan

available signals for RDS stations broadcast-

ing a particular type of program content.

1. Press the PTY button. The current RDS

program content type will appear in the

display.

2. If desired, change to a different PRO-

GRAM TYPE using the TUNING controls

to scroll through the list.

3. Press the PTY button a second time within

5 seconds. The tuner will attempt to find

an RDS station broadcasting the selected

type of program. If the button is not

pressed within 5 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

button (except DIMMER or FM MONO).

TP Button

Searches for an RDS station broadcasting

traffic information programming:

1. Press the TP button. The tuner will attempt

to find an RDS station broadcasting the

traffic programming.

2. If no station is located, the tuner will return

to the last previously tuned station.

3. Cancel the TP function by pressing any

button (except DIMMER or FM MONO).

TA Button

Searches for an RDS station broadcasting

special traffic announcements:

1. Press the TA button. The tuner will attempt

to find an RDS station broadcasting traffic

announcements.

2. If no station is located, the tuner will return

to the last previously tuned station.

3. Cancel the TA function by pressing any

button (except DIMMER or FM MONO).

AF Button

In some cases, an RDS station is part of a

network of stations broadcasting the same

programming (for example, BBC1 program-

ming in the UK may be available at several

different frequencies). Stations broadcasting

this programming may transmit an RDS data

signal providing the tuner with a list of al-

ternate frequencies where this programming

is available. If this data list is transmitted,

an AF indicator will appear in the DISPLAY.

The AF button is used to scan the alternate

frequencies to find a stronger signal. The

button is only functional when the AF indi-

cator is lit.

1. Press the AF button. The tuner will scan

each of the alternate frequencies for the

same programming in the stored list and

tune to the strongest signal.

2. If no station is located, the tuner will return

to the last previously tuned station.

3. If the signal strength of the new station

is weaker, the tuner will revert to the

previously tuned station.

4. Cancel the AF function by pressing any

button (except DIMMER or FM MONO).

Additional Tuning Features

The following buttons provide features which

may be used to improve FM reception and/

or provide additional functionality:

FM MONO Button

The FM MONO button changes the FM mode

from stereo reception to mono reception. In

stereo mode, a stereo signal will be heard

if the station is broadcasting a stereo sig-

nal and there is sufficient signal strength. A

stereo indicator will light in the front panel

display. In mono mode, a mono signal will

be heard even if the station is broadcasting

a stereo signal.

NOTE

: Switching to mono mode can be a

useful way to improve the reception of weak

or distant FM signals. Less signal strength

is required for clean mono reception than

for stereo reception.
