8. Using RDS

8.1. Overview of RDS functions

The Radio Data System (RDS) is a service, which makes it possible for FM stations to broadcast other digital information together with the standard program signal. Some of them are listed below. It depends on the specific radio station as to which services it uses or when it uses them.

PI (Program Identification)

This is a code that identifies the RDS station.

PS (Program Service Name)

The name of the current broadcasting station is shown on the display.

AF (Alternative Frequencies)

List(s) of alternative frequencies providing information about various transmitters broadcasting the same program in the same or neighbouring area. If the broadcasting quality on the main frequency worsens, the radio will automatically tune in to the strongest alternative frequency.

TP (Traffic Program)

The broadcast contains identification details for traffic information.

TA (Traffic Announcement)

Identification information whether traffic information is currently being broadcast or not.

PTY (Program Type Codes)

This code is used to designate the current program material. This function is used to search for programs corresponding to the selected program type, which is selected from a specific list of types, such as news, easy music, sport, etc.

EON (Enhanced Other Networks Information)

This is an additional service enabling the radio to gain information not only from the current station but also from others. For example, it makes it possible to switch to a different station of the same network for a traffic announcement, etc.

8.2. Activating the RDS mode

In the FM radio mode press the AF button on the main unit or on the remote control to activate or deactivate RDS operation. Whenever RDS is turned on (AF ON), the name of the program will be displayed on the LCD display under the condition that the RDS station is being received. «ALARM» will be displayed during an emergency broadcast. When the volume control is set to minimum, the audio output level will automatically adjust to the set level.

8.3. Regional program

In the FM radio mode press the AF button on the main unit or on the remote control for 2 seconds to turn the mode on or off. During a certain time some broadcasting stations may change their program from a standard program to a regional program. If the regional mode is turned off, the region identification in the PI code is ignored. The radio can switch broadcasting into a local version of the current program. When the regional broadcasting mode is turned on, the radio will only switch to a program bearing the same PI code.

Regional mode - turned on

AF or PI SEEK switching only works on a station that has all its PI codes the same as the current station.

Regional mode - turned off

The regional code in the PI format code is ignored when switching AF or when PI SEEK is activated.

Note:

When the AF switch is turned on, the +▶▶I/▶◀◀- buttons on the main unit or the ◀/▶ buttons on the remote control are used to scan only for stations that broadcast using RDS.

8.4. PTY program – selection

a) Using the main unit

In the FM radio mode press and hold the function selection dial for 2 seconds until the control mode of the desired function is activated. Hold down the function selection dial for a long time to display the PTY modes: PTY Music Group (music)/PTY Speech Group (speech)/PTY Off (PTY off). This function is implemented with preset station settings by pressing buttons no. 1 - 6. After selecting PTY MUSIC/PTY Speech, the radio will start to scan for corresponding PTY information and will stop if it detects this corresponding information. If the corresponding PTY information does not exist, the PTY mode will automatically switch back to normal mode.

b) Using the remote control

Every time PTY is pressed, the PTY mode will change in the following order: > PTY Music Group> PTY Speech Group> PTY Off>. When a desired PTY group is selected, repeatedly press the 1 - 6 number buttons to select a station. The radio will start to scan for the corresponding PTY information and will stop if it detects the corresponding PTY information. If the corresponding PTY information does not exist, the PTY function will automatically switch back to normal mode.

8.5. Traffic announcements TA

Press the TA button on the main menu or on the remote control for a short time to turn the TA function on or off. If the TA mode is turned on and the traffic announcement is broadcast:

• when the device is switched to the USB/SD/MMC input or AUX input mode, it will temporarily switch to the radio mode and when switched to an EON connected station,
• in the event that the volume is below the volume level of the traffic announcement, its threshold point will be increased
• when receiving a TP (Traffic Program) station, the TP segment is shown on the display

Press the TA button on the main unit or on the remote control for 2 seconds to activate the selection of the EON TA LOCAL (EON LOC) mode or the EON DISTANT (EON DX) mode. The purpose of this button is to reduce undesirable EON TA switching between EON TA information, which is received from the current station and EON connected stations, where no information is received due an excessively large distance. The switching becomes evident by listening to an unwanted program or frequent reduction of volume.

EON TA Local mode

When the intensity of the EON field is lower than the threshold level, the radio will not tune to this station. When the EON TA LOCAL mode is selected, "EON LO" is shown for a few seconds.

EON TA Distant mode

The EON TA switching is performed on the basis of information from the current station. When the EON TA mode is selected, "EON DX" is shown for a few seconds.

Note:

When TA is turned on, the +▶▶I/I◀◀- buttons on the main unit or the ◀/▶ buttons on the remote control are used to scan for only stations that broadcast using TA.

8.6. Programmable functions

Press and hold down the function selection dial on the main unit or the SEL button on the remote control for 2 seconds when the control is activated for various functions. If controls are activated, repeatedly press the function selection dial on the main unit or repeatedly press the SEL button on the remote control to activate the following programmable RDS controls and turn the dial to select the desired operating mode.
