RDS (Radio Data System) allows FM stations to send an additional signal along with their regular program signals. For example, the stations send their station names, as well as information about what type of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned in to an FM station which provides the RDS service, the RDS indicator lights up on the display. With the unit, you can receive the following types of RDS signals.

PS (Program Service):

Shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Program Type):

Shows types of broadcast programs.

RT (Radio Text):

Shows text messages the station sends.

Enhanced Other Networks:

Provides information about the types of the programs sent by other RDS stations.

JVC UX-S57 - Enhanced Other Networks: - 1

More about RDS

  • Some FM and AM (MW) stations do not provide RDS signals.
  • RDS services vary among FM RDS stations. For details on RDS services in your area, check with local radio stations.
  • RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is weak.

Changing the RDS Information

You can see RDS information on the display while listening to an FM station.

On the remote control ONLY:

Press RDS DISPLAY.

Each time you press the button, the display changes to show the following information:

JVC UX-S57 - Press RDS DISPLAY. - 1

JVC UX-S57 - Press RDS DISPLAY. - 2

JVC UX-S57 - Press RDS DISPLAY. - 3

  • If no PS, PTY, or RT signals are sent by a station "NO PS," "NO PTY," or "NO RT" appears on the display.
  • On the characters displayed

When the display shows PS, PTY or RT signals:
- The display shows upper case letters only.
- The display cannot show accented letters; for example, "A" may represent accented "A's" like "Á, Á, Ñ, Å, Å and Å."

One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes.
- For details on the PTY codes, see "Additional Information" on page 27.

To search for a program using the PTY codes REMEMBER you must preset FM RDS stations to use the PTY codes. If not yet done, see page 13.

  • There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start over from step 1.

On the remote control ONLY:

"PTY SELECT" appears on the display.

3 Press PTY SEARCH once again.

While searching, "SEARCH" flashes and the selected PTY code appears on the display.

The unit searches 30 preset FM stations, stops when it finds the one you have selected ("FOUND" and the selected PTY code appear), and tunes in that station.

  • If no program is found, "NOT FOUND" appears on the display and the unit returns to the last received station.

To stop searching any time during the process, press PTY SEARCH while searching.

Switching Temporarily to a Program Type of Your Choice

The Enhanced Other Networks function allows the unit to switch temporarily to a broadcast program of your choice (TA, News, and Info) from a different station.

  • The function only works when you are listening to a preset FM RDS stations providing the data.
    To activate the Enhanced Other Networks function REMEMBER you must preset FM RDS stations to use the function. If not yet done, see page 13.
  • There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the setting is canceled before you finish, start over from step 1.

On the remote control ONLY:

1 Press TA/News/Info until the data type you want flashes on the display.

Each time you press the button, the data type indication changes as follows:

JVC UX-S57 - Press TA/News/Info until the data type you want flashes on the display. - 1

JVC UX-S57 - Press TA/News/Info until the data type you want flashes on the display. - 2

More about the Enhanced Other Networks function

  • The data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this unit and also some stations may not include Enhanced Other Networks data. In this case, the function may not work correctly.
  • While listening to a program tuned into by the function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same data.

This unit has been designed to play back the following discs—CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.

You can play back the discs containing the tracks in music CD format or MP3 files in ISO 9660 format.

  • In this instruction, we call a disc recorded MP3 files "MP3 disc," and "file" is also referred to as "track."

When playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs

  • Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.
  • User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) can be played only if they are already "finalized."
  • This unit supports "multi-session" discs (up to 5 sessions).
  • This unit cannot play "packet write" discs.
  • Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player's lens is dirty.
  • CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular discs.

Notes for MP3 files

  • The player can only recognize files with "MP3" or "mp3" as the extensions, which can be in any combination of upper and lower case.
  • It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1 kHz sampling rate, using the 128 kbps data transfer rate.
  • Some MP3 files or discs may not be played back because of their characteristics or recording conditions.
  • MP3 discs requires a longer readout time than normal discs because of the complexity of the group/file configuration.
  • MP3i and MP3 Pro are not available.

General notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your discs and the mechanism clean.

  • Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.
  • Keep the unit's disc trays closed when not in use.
  • Continued use of irregular shape discs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.
