RDS Operation

About RDS

RDS (Radio Data System) is a method for sending information signals together with the transmitter signals. Your tuner is capable of translating these signals and putting the information on the display. These codes contain the following informations. Program Service Name (PS), A list of program Type(PTY), Traffic Announcement(TA), Clock Time(CT), Radio Text(RT)

RDS Display Options

The RDS system is capable of transmitting a wide variety of information in addition to the initial call sign that appears when a station is first tuned. In normal RDS operation the display will indicate the station name, broadcast network or call letters.

Pressing DISP on the front panel enables you to cycle through the various data types in the sequence:

(CT→FREQUENCY→PTY→RT→PS)

- CT (Time controlled by the channel): Enable the unit to receive the actual time and show it on the display window.

• PTY (Program type recognition): The program type is shown on the display window.
• RT (Radio text recognition): The radio station's information is displayed on the display window.
• PS (Program Service name): The program title is displayed on the display window.

Note

Some RDS stations may not choose to include some of these additional features. If the data required for the selected mode is not being transmitted, the Display Window will show a NO CLOCK, PTY NONE, RT NONE message.

• PI (Program Identification) contains additional information for regional program operation
• AF (Alternative Frequencies for the actual program)
• TP (Traffic Program Identification)
• TA (Traffic Announcement Identification)
• EON (Enhanced Other Networks) Information on other programs to use their services like traffic announcement etc

Notes

• RDS is only available for FM reception.
- The PS function allows station names to be displayed in clear letters.
- Network Tracking reception uses the PI and AF codes. The PI code identifies the country, area and broadcast system. AF lists up which reception frequencies at the area are broadcasting the same program and automatically changes to the best reception quality offering frequency without the need to interrupt the program by a seek function.
- Traffic programmes and announcements can be automatically received using the TP/TA features.
- EON-TA: With activated EON function traffic announcements can be heard when listening programs which do not broadcast such information by the selves. To do this, the tuner changes to another program only for announcements, returning automatically afterwards to the previous listened program.
- PTY program type selection enables to select the contents of programs who are supporting this service.

RDS Operation

STATION NAME DISPLAY

The station name is displayed automatically when a RDS station is received.

RDS AF/REG FUNCTION

To switch on or off the AF function (Network-Tracking), shortly press the 'AF' button. To switch on or off the REG function (Regional Network Tracking), press the 'AF' button longer than 2 seconds.

- Mode 1 (AF: on/REG: on):

Network-Tracking is activated. Regional mode is engaged (AF function changes between stations broadcasting the same program at all times). Regional mode shall be selected only in case of driving in certain local areas.

- Mode 2 (AF: on/REG: off):

Network-Tracking is activated. AF function changes between stations belonging to the broadcast network being received.

A station broadcasting a different regional program in the same network

may be received at certain times. This can happen only in case of listening to regionalized programs; in mode 2 this is no malfunction!

- Mode 3 (AF: off):

Network-Tracking is deactivated. Only station name will be displayed. In case of poor reception no alternative station can be used!

Network-Tracking reception

When you are driving in an area where RDS data is broadcasted by stations in a network, following procedures are operated in modes 1 and 2 if a RDS station is tuned:

A flashing of the AF indicator in the LCD display shows, the processor is still collecting the complete set of RDS data of this program. Whenever the flashing stops, all data are complete and the RDS functions of TCH-M550R can be used as far as they are supported by the program.

If AF functions are activated: When the reception quality drops, the tuner automatically changes to another station

in the network, broadcasting a better reception quality, using the PI and AF codes. This mean: wherever you drive, you can continue to listen to the same programme without interruptions.

PI SEEK procedure: If the reception quality drops too much without finding a better quality alternative frequency from the AF list, after a while the PI SEEK function starts (Display: 'SEEK-PI'). The tuner is searching a station of the same program not regarding the AF list, which has the same PI code.

RDS Operation

The same program can be received on different frequencies.

RDS data for preset buttons

When a preset button is pressed, if the station with that frequency is received with a sufficient quality, the receiver will tune to that frequency. When the reception quality is not sufficient for good reception, referring to its AF list, the receiver will change to a station of the same program which is broadcasting the best reception quality (a station broadcasting the same program contents may not be received when mode 2 (REG off) is selected and a regional program is selected).

If a sufficient quality station cannot be found in the AF list, PI-seek tuning starts automatically.

LOCAL/DX selection in EON-TA mode In the EON-TA mode, press the TA button for more than 2 seconds, causes only local and strong stations to be received. When TA button is pressed for more than 2 seconds, it receives all stations, including distant and weak ones. It is recommended to set TA button to the local position to receive local stations with good sound quality.

REG FUNCTION(Regional)

(Only available in certain countries)

• When the AF button is pressed for more than 2 seconds, the indication "REG" appears on the display and the radio activates the search for regional programmes being transmitted by the same broadcasting station.
• When the REG function is enabled, you can only hear regional programmes.
• When the REG function is enabled, you can also listen to various programmes by means of the alternative frequencies.
• The regional function covers restricted areas of transmission, hence it is advisable to use it only for short distances.
