\*RDS

Today many stations transmit so-called RDS (Radio Data System) codes that contain a variety of additional information along with the regular sound signals.

^*2 Identical RDS stations with alternative frequencies (AF)

This is a list of alternative frequencies which gives information on the various transmitters broadcasting the same program in the same reception area. It enables receivers equipped with memory to store the list, to reduce the time needed for switching to another transmitter.

^*3 Program service station name (PS)

This is a name consisting of not more than 8 alphanumeric characters, which is displayed in order to inform listeners about the program service being broadcast by the radio station.

Example: BBC 1

Characters

If a character transmitted by the broadcast is not applicable to receivers, a blank space is inserted.

\*4 Radiotext (RT)

Information such as the cast list of a play or the title of a song is shown on the display.

SEARCHING WITH THE HELP OF RDS CODES

Each RDS station identifies the type of program (5 PTY) which it is currently broadcasting. If you specify a PTY, the unit can automatically detect a suitable station from the preset stations. In addition, the 6 EON (Enhanced Other Network) service works in some areas, so that searching is made much faster.

AIWA AVD58 - SEARCHING WITH THE HELP OF RDS CODES - 1

TO DISPLAY THE PTY

Press PTY during RDS reception.

AIWA AVD58 - TO DISPLAY THE PTY - 1

Programs are classified as follows:

TRAFFIC, NEWS, AFFAIRS (current affairs), INFO (information), SPORT, EDUCATE (education), DRAMA, CULTURE, SCIENCE, VARIORED, POP M (pop music), ROCK M (rock music), EASY M (middle of the road music), LIGHT M (light classical), CLASSICS (serious classical), OTHER M (other music), WEATHER, FINANCE, CHILDREN (children's programmes), SOCIAL (social affairs), RELIGION, PHONE IN (public views), TRAVEL, LEISURE, JAZZ (jazz music), COUNTRY (country music), NATION M (national music), OLDIES (oldies music), FOLK M (folk music), DOCUMENT (documentary), TEST (alarm test), ALARM

NOTE

  • If program type information is not being transmitted, "NO PTY" is displayed.

2 Within 4 seconds, press / to select a program type.
3 Within 4 seconds, press PTY again.

The search automatically checks every preset station. After identifying a suitable staiton, the station will be selected.

EON service for the PTY search

When EON service works to transmit PTY, a suitable station is detected without checking every preset station. When a station transmits EON information, it takes about 15 to 30 seconds for the unit to decode the EON information. After decoding the information, the EON indicator lights up.

When a station is not found

"NOT FOUND" is displayed and the unit returns to the previous station.

When the TRAFFIC program type is selected

The unit searches for a station transmitting a ^7 TP code.

However, the tuned station may not be broadcasting a traffic announcement currently. Wait for a while. The tuned station broadcasts traffic information regularly and a traffic announcement will be made.

During FM reception, the unit switches to radio programs with the specified PTY automatically as soon as they begin.

1 Press PTY.

The program type of the currently tuned station is displayed.

2 Within 4 seconds, press / to select a program type.
3 Within 4 seconds, press ENTER.

"EON ON" is displayed for 3 seconds. Then, the EON indicator starts flashing and the unit enters EON search standby mode. When radio program with the specified PTY in another radio station begins, it interrupts the currently playing radio program and the radio program with the specified PTY is heard. At this time, the EON indicator flashes rapidly.

At the end of the radio program with the specified PTY, the previous FM radio station is restored.

  • EON search standby mode is stored until it is cancelled even if the power is turned off.

To cancel EON search standby mode

Keep PTY pressed. (Do not release PTY yet.) "EON PTY" and the specified PTY are displayed alternately. At this time, press ENTER with pressing PTY. "EON OFF" is displayed and EON search standby mode is cancelled.

The EON search function does not work when:
- FM stations are not preset.
- The signals of stations with the specified PTY are weak.

OTHER FUNCTION OF RDS CODES

Clock-time (^*8CT)

The CT function provides the unit with information about the local time. Once the CT function is set to on, the clock time will be updated every hour on the hour whenever a CT station is received.

To activate the CT function

Hold down CT until "CT ON" appears on the display. If the clock is set wrongly due to an incorrect clock signal, hold down CT until "CT OFF" appears to deactivate it.

*5 Program type identification (PTY)

PTY allows selection of listening by one of 30 or more program types rather than by a station.

*6 Enhanced other networks information (EON)

EON information gives the receiver a cross reference to other stations and allows the receiver to switch from the currently tuned station to another RDS station.

*7 Traffic program identification (TP)

This is a code which informs the receiver that a tuned station regularly broadcasts traffic information.

*8Clock-time (CT)

CT function provides an accurate clock signal which is self-adjusting to time zones and seasonal time changes.

To change the MW tuning interval

To reset the interval, repeat this procedure.

NOTE

When the MW tuning interval is changed, all preset stations are cleared. The preset stations have to be set again.

This unit is equipped with the Dolby Pro Logic decoder, Dolby Digital decoder and DTS decoder.

The unit and the center and surround speakers (standard) assure full-scale home theater sound. When playing back discs or video software that have been recorded in Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or DTS surround, astonishingly realistic sound surrounds the listener to create a new level of audio/visual entertainment. Independent control of the five channels allows the listener to enjoy the same type of sound reproduction experienced in movie theaters. Voices are reproduced in the front and center sound field, while ambient sounds like cars and crowds are reproduced on all sides of the listener for an incredibly lifelike audio/video experience. Please read the following carefully to "tune" the system's output to match the characteristics of your listening space.

Check the following:

  • Before enjoying Dolby or DTS surround sound, adjust the speaker sound levels to the proper balance (see page 19).
  • Make sure the speakers are properly connected and positioned (see pages 5 and 6).
  • Make sure the TV set and video unit are properly connected (see page 4).
  • Make sure the disc and video tape, etc., support Dolby Pro Logic, Dolby Digital or DTS surround.

The optimal Dolby Digital surround and Dolby Pro Logic modes and settings depend on the type and placement of the speakers. Check the current type and placement of your speakers and select the recommended mode accordingly.
