Within five seconds press 

v

and the station will

be tuned.

NOTE: Although frequency within the AM
or FM bands may be tuned directly, you may not tune a
station in one band while the other is in use. In the FM
range you must enter 4 or 5 digits, f.e. "98.05" for the
frequency "98.05" MHz or "10500" for "105.00" MHz.
Moreover the frequency entered must be within the
50kHz pattern, i.e. the last digit must be a "5" or "0".

If you're in the AM range 3 or 4 digits must be entered for
the frequencies 522 kHz up to 1611 kHz (MW range).
Moreover the frequency entered must be within the 9kHz
pattern, i.e. devidable by the number "9". Else the actual
frequency will remain tuned.

The 2.0 allows you to enter up to thirty stations into 
the preset memory system so that they may be easily
recalled. Stations in the present memory may be selected
from either the remote or front panel.

Once a station has been tuned, it may be entered into the
preset memory system by simply pressing the buttons for
a number between “01” and “30” using the 

w

on the remote. Note that the number will

appear on both the front panel 

(Figure FPD-16) and on-screen (Figure OSD-29).

noting that the preset number will move to the top line of
both displays (Figures FPD-11 and OSD-30).

Stations may also be added through the use of the

Tuner Menu

, as described on page 42.

To delete an individual preset after it has been entered,
first tune to the station. To remove it from the memory
press the 

w

and then press 

within five seconds.

Once a station is entered into the preset memory it may
be recalled in one of four ways:

•   Press 

z

to step through the stations in the

memory in numerical order. Each press of the button
will move to the next station in the preset memory.

•   Press the front panel 

(Presets) buttons 

7

to scroll

up or down through the stations in the memory. Each
press of the button will move to the next station in the
preset memory.

RDS (Radio Data Service) brings a wide range of
information to FM radio. Transmitted by many stations,
RDS is a special data signal that the stations transmit
without any interference to normal broadcasts.
Depending on how a station chooses to program the RDS
data, it may include station call signs, network
information or identification messages, special text
messages or descriptions of the musical selection and a
description of the station’s format or program type.

When an FM station is transmitting RDS data, the 2.0’s
tuner will automatically detect it. If RDS data is present,
the front panel 

will show two main

parts of the data after a brief delay. This delay is necessary
as the data is sent at a relatively slow speed, and it may
take up to 20 seconds, depending on the receiving
performance, for the 2.0 to collect, process and display all
datas (Figure FPD-14).

Figure FPD-14

The lower left side of the display will show the “PS” field,
which is information that the station chooses to transmit
so that you may more easily identify it. This is usually the
call letters, but some stations transmit their network
affiliation or other information. In rare cases, some
stations program a lengthy message here that will appear
in the display in eight-character pieces.

02  91.50 FM  .  Vol

SWF  3  CLASSICS  10

The middle portion of the lower line on the display 
will show the program type or “PTY”, chosen by the
station. The PTY is a set of preset codes to describe the
station’s programming. A complete list of these codes, as
well as an explanation of the abbreviations used appears
in Appendix C.

NOTE: The choice of which PTY to use is up to the
station. Some change the PTY during the day to adjust 
it to their programming, while others may not choose a
description that you feel properly describes the station.
Remember that these messages are set by the radio
station, and the 2.0 only receives and displays them.

To show the RDS information on the video screen, 
press 

x

(Figure OSD-25, page 36).

In addition to the ID and PTY data, many stations also
transmit special text messages. This may include a wide
range of information ranging from musical selection data
to program schedule information, DJ call-in numbers and
many other purposes.

To display the text message press 

once and

RDS TEXT...

will briefly appear in the front panel

(Figure FPD-17).

Figure FPD-17

There will be a brief delay until the 2.0 receives the entire
message, then it will be displayed in the front panel

’s lower line (Figure FPD-18). 

Text messages will be displayed on the video monitor too,
to delete them, 

must be pressed again.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Radio stations are free to use all,
some or no parts of the RDS system. For that reason, you
may not see certain aspects of the messages on some FM
stations. For example, some stations may choose to
transmit a PS and PTY, but not a text message. In addition,
when viewing RDS data you may occasionally see garbled
messages containing characters that do not seem to
belong in the message. If this occurs it may be due to
reception problems, requiring optimization of your
antenna or switching to another station. Occasional
incorrect messages do not indicate any problem either at
the radio station or with the 2.0.

The 2.0’s sophisticated tuner and display system enables
you to search for any station transmitting RDS data, or for
a station transmitting a specific program type (PTY).

Although a PTY search may be started using either the
front panel 

or the on-screen display,

you may find it easier to use the on-screen system. To
initiate a program type PTY search, press 

`

. This

will show the 

RDS Type Search

menu on-screen

(Figure OSD-31), and the word 

Search

will appear on

the lower line of the front panel 

(Figure FPD-20). As long as 

ANY RDS

is displayed on the

right side of the front panel display or is highlighted in the
on-screen display, the next available RDS station with any
program type will be seeked, if the PTY search is started.

Note that the

choices are not official RDS program types, as they are
provided so that you may tag any station as a personal
favorite, following the instructions shown in the Tuner Menu
section on page 42. When one of the three 

PERSONL

PTY

types is selected for search, the tuner will only examine the
stations programmed into the preset memory, not ALL
stations, as is the case with a normal PTY search.

Note: Traffic is not a real PTY but an additional code, trans-
mitted by many RDS stations. When it is selected as seek
type the next station, transmitting traffic information at any
time not only in the moment the search is made, will be
seeked.

While the search is under way, the on-screen display and
front panel 

will show a

The tuner will search upward through the FM band,
automatically examining each station to see if it is sending
RDS data and looking to see what the PTY is. When the
next FM station that meets the search criteria is tuned, the
scan will stop and the station will be tuned. If no station is
found that matches the desired PTY type after a complete
scan of the FM band, the tuner will return to the last
station tuned.

In addition to using the direct access controls described
above, it is possible to program the tuner functions 
and enter presets using the 

Tuner Menu

. This enables

you to quickly set the tuner memory, and it is a method of
tuner operation to consider during the initial configuration
of the 2.0.

The 

Tuner Menu

also allows you to give FM stations

personalized names and Program Types even if they do
not transmit RDS data.

To reach the 

Tuner Menu

, the tuner must first be

selected as the input source. Press

or select the

tuner using the front panel

if the

tuner is not already in use.

Press the

Note that this line does not appear on the

. The menu will differ depending on the frequency

band in use. One menu will appear when an FM station is

menu (Figure OSD-35) will appear when an AM station is
currently tuned.

location, a number will be shown on this line. While 
this line is highlighted you may also change to another
preset station by pressing
