RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations provide.
These FM stations send additional signals along with their regular programme
signals. They send their station names, and information about the type of pro-
gramme such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an RDS station, "RDS" and the station name will be displayed.
"TP" (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when the received broadcast
carries traffic information, and "TA" (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic
information is on air.
"PTYI" (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the Dynamic PTY station is
received.
 
 
You can control the RDS by using the buttons on the main unit only.

Whilst in the ASPM operation mode, the tuner will automatically search for new RDS

quency will be stored in memory.

" Any station which has the same frequency as one stored in memory will not be

stored.

" If 40 stations have already been stored in memory, the scan will be aborted. If you

want to redo the ASPM operation, erase the preset memory.

" If no stations have been stored in memory, "END" will appear for about 4 seconds.
" If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be stored in memory.
