RDS 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 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.

RT (Radio Text):

Shows text messages the station sends.

CT (Clock Time):

Shows clock time the station sends.

PTY (Program Type):

Shows types of broadcast programs.

Enhanced Other Networks:

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

More about RDS

• Some FM stations do not provide RDS signals.
• RDS services may 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.

Right speaker

• DO NOT use other amplifier to operate this speaker system except for CA-MXG700R.
• Turn off power to the whole system before connecting the speakers to the amplifier.
• The maximum power handling capacity of the SP-MXG700 main speaker is 40 W. Subwoofer is 80 W. Excessive input will result in abnormal noise and possible damage. In cases where the signals described below are applied to the speakers, even if the signals are below the maximum allowable input, they may cause an overload and burn the wiring of the speakers. Be sure to lower the amplifier volume beforehand. 1) Noise during FM tuning. 2) High level signals containing high frequency components produced by a tape deck in the fast forward mode. 3) Click noise produced when turning power of other components on and off. 4) Click noise produced when connecting or disconnecting cords with the power on. 5) Click noise produced when the cartridge is replaced with the power on. 6) Click noise produced when operating amplifier switches. 7) Continuous high frequency oscillation or high pitch electronically produced musical instrument sound. 8) Howling when using a microphones.

DO NOT carry the speaker by holding the duct tube (on the top of the speaker).
