4 Whilst the selected program type is displayed (within 6 seconds), Press RDS PTY again.

After the selected program type has been lit for 2 seconds, "SEARCH" will appear, and the search operation will start.

Note

- If the display has stopped flashing, start again from step 2. If the unit finds a desired program type, the corresponding channel number will be lit for about 8 seconds, and then the station name will be displayed.

- If you want to listen to the same program type of another station, press the RDS PTY whilst the channel number or station name is flashing. The unit will look for the next station.

- If no station can be found, "NO FOUND" will appear for 4 seconds.

Information provided by RDS

Each time the RDS DISPLAY is pressed, the display will switch as follows:

graph LR
    A["Station name (PS)"] --> B["Programme type (PTY)"]
    B --> C["Radio text (RT)"]
    C --> D["Frequency"]
    D --> A

When tuning in to a station other than an RDS station or to an RDS station which sends weak signal, the display will change in the following order:

Using the Auto Station Program Memory (ASPM)

Whilst in the ASPM operation mode, the tuner will automatically search for new RDS stations. Up to 30 stations can be stored.

If you have already stored some stations in memory, the number of new stations you can store will be less.

1 Press TUNER on the remote control.

2 Press and hold down RDS ASPM on the remote control.

After "ASPM" has flashed for about 4 seconds, scanning will start (87.5 MHz to 108 MHz).

After scanning, the number of stations stored in memory will be displayed for 4 seconds, and then "END" will appear for 4 seconds.

To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete:

Press ■ whilst it is scanning for stations. The stations which are already stored in memory will be kept there.

Note

• If the same station is broadcasting on different frequencies, the strongest frequency will be stored in memory.
• Any station which has the same frequency as the one stored in memory will not be stored.
• If 30 stations have already been stored in memory, the scan will be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM operation, erase the preset memory.
• If no station have been stored in memory, "END" will appear for about 4 seconds.
• If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be stored in memory.
• The same station name can be stored in different channels.
• In a certain area or during certain time periods, the station names may temporarily be different.

Notes for RDS operation

If any of the following events occur, it does not mean that the unit is faulty:

• "PS", "No PS" and a station name appear alternately, and properly.
• If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a station is conducting tests, the RDS reception function may not work properly.
• When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too weak, information like the station name may not be displayed.
• "No PS", "No PTY" or "No RT" will flash for about 5 seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.

Notes for radio text:

• The first 8 characters of the radio text will appear and then they will scroll across the display.
• If you tune in to an RDS station which is not broadcasting any radio text, "No RT" will be displayed when you switch to the radio text position.
• Whilst radio text data is received or when the text contents change, "RT" will be displayed.

Listening to the DAB+

About DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting)

Digital Audio Broadcasting is a digital transmission system where audio signals are converted to digital signals for broadcasting. DAB+ is broadcast as a group of data called multiplex (ensemble) which may contain one or more stations (services). Each station contains a primary service and there may be one or more secondary services. This allows several programmes or services to be transmitted on a single frequency.

About condensation

If this unit is moved suddenly from a cold place into a warm room (in winter, for example) or if the temperature in the room in which this unit is installed rises suddenly due to heater operation, etc., water droplets (condensation) may form inside (on operating parts and the lens). When condensation is present, this unit will not operate properly and playback is not possible. Let this unit stand at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours with the power turned on (the time depends on the extent of condensation). The water droplets will dissipate and playback will become possible. Condensation can also occur in the summer if this unit is directly exposed to the air flow from an air-conditioner. If this happens, move this unit to a different place.
